He's got a command-line tool he's had some success with, but I don't recall the name. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

As I was rushing around inside CostCo a few weeks back I noticed turntables with USB interfaces, which I assume means that digitization is (could be) handled inside the unit, or something along those lines. I don't recall brand name or any other useful info but wonder if anybody has used that sort of device to digitize their vinyl. (using a Linux box, of course...) ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

I haven't heard of IRENE, I'll have to look into it. I've been recording to .wav with 'rec', and using Audacity to amplify, remove surface noise, scratches and pops. It generally provides me with listenable recordings and I'm pleased enough with the results. If I have to spend much more time than that, I'll just buy a commercial cd. I do have some irreplaceable music that I'll revisit when I'm a little more skilled. --charlie -- Charles Farinella Appropriate Solutions, Inc.

I haven't heard of IRENE, I'll have to look into it. I think this is the IRENE mentioned: http://www.artistshousemusic.org/news/record+keeping+with+irene It optically scans the record and analyzes the image. I'd imagine you'd need a special scanner; it'd be hard to scan with a standard flatbed scanner.

It generally provides me with listenable recordings and I'm pleased enough with the results. If I have to spend much more time than that, I'll just buy a commercial cd. I've run the wav file through grammofile in the past. It would detect (mostly) track breaks and filter the pops, etc. It's all text a bit out of date. I'm sure the automated filter isn't as good as editing the waveform, but it's been enough for my use. Is there another automated pop/scratch/hiss filter out there?

I think I'll also do my passed- grandparents' 78's too (but skip the intervening generation's AM Gold - gack). If this turntable can only do 45 I'll probably have to fiddle with sox or Audacity to compensate. Note: the above solution contains isopropynol - I'm pretty sure that will dissolve the old shellac-based 78's, since that's what you do when you want to make shellac finish for furniture. I also saw that crackling can be caused by bad or loose needles, so watch out for that. I was about to ask if I needed a special needle for the 78's but then I JFG'ed it, and found this page: http://www.ambor.com/public/78rpm/78rpm.html which also talks about some open source packages for processing. The link to the tempo estimator sounds cool for filling in the MP3 ID3 tag. -Bill - Bill McGonigle, Owner Work: 603.448.4440 BFC Computing, LLC Home: 603.448.1668 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: 603.252.2606 http://www.bfccomputing.com/Page: 603.442.1833 Blog: http://blog.bfccomputing.com/ VCard: http://bfccomputing.com/vcard/bill.vcf ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
