Re: removing crackle when converting vinyl recordings
Ron! The RIAA preamp is a special preamp. Every microphone mixer has a preamp, in fact mixers are formally known as Preamp Mixers. The RIAA preamp amplifies different frequencies by different amounts. When a recording is put on Vinyl the lower frequencies have to be cut back in order for the grooves to physically fit on the record. When the record is played back these frequencies have to be restored according to a particular formula that the RIAA preamp is built to do. Now many DJ mixers designed for turntables would have the RIAA preamp. Chirp |Chirp|Chirp: It's the Bat, Bat Arhonious Software ! New DEC-TALK USB: $650.00, www.chirpingbat.com/dectalkusb.shtml !

RE: removing crackle when converting vinyl recordings (No Vinegar!)
Vinegar is a dilute solution of acetic acid. While it's unlikely you'd do detectable damage to the vinyl, why risk it? Standard disc-cleaning solutions use a solution of water and isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol). Also, * very Important * - never use isopropyl alcohol to clean the old 78-RPM records. The alcohol will dissolve the shelac, ruining the recording. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of ron scott Sent: Monday, August 16, 2004 8:08 AM To: PC audio discussion list.

Re: removing crackle when converting vinyl recordings
To connect a record player or turntable to the computer for recording vinyl records you need to be sure that there is a RIAA preamp between the stylus and the computer somewhere. Something called a Record Player would have this preamp built-in. Most turntables would not. Most turntables would have to be connected to a RIAA preamp or to a Receiver or to an amplifier that has an RIAA preamp built-in. Anything called a Receiver would have this built-in. Then connect the RIAA preamp or Receiver or whatever to the computer. RIAA stands for Recording Industry Association of America or some other such thing and has to do with making it technologically possible to put a certain amount of audio on a vinyl album.

Hi. This isn't an answer to your question but another question instead. How do you record an album to cd? I mean how do you connect the record player to the pc? Larry N wrote: Hi.

Re: removing crackle when converting vinyl recordings
Depends on what you mean by record player. If you mean a turntable that normally goes into a stereo amp or receiver, you must either connect the computer to that same receiver/amp, or buy a separate pre amp to connect the player to to then connect that to the computer. - Original Message - From: Mick [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list.

Re: removing crackle when converting vinyl recordings
I don't know depopper but it's nice to know of other things people use and like. The one I use is wave corrector it does miracles right out of the box and even though it's graphics aren't accessible to us, I don't think it matters much. It costs $45 u.s. and it does have a lot of cool features including, get this, a setting that automatically changes the speed of a .wav file such that if you have a 78 rpm stylus but not a 78 rpm speed, you can record the record at 45 and the program will jack it up to the proper speed.

Re: removing crackle when converting vinyl recordings
Hi Jay. Actually I have a copy of Wave Corrector and have used its automatic scan features to remove pops and clicks. But I can't figure out how to access some of its features that let you edit manually. I can't even make it stop when playing. I can preview a corrected file by hitting the space bar and pause it using space, but can't find how to stop it. Are their keyboard commands to help you get around the graphics and edit beyond the default settings? Larry - Original Message - From: Jay Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list.

Re: removing crackle when converting vinyl recordings
Hi, Larry, I doubt there's anything either of us can do beyond what we can read in the dialog boxes, that's true. So I'm curious to try the other program for comparisson. I don't remember how I happened on Wave Corector, but I do remember that I needed something to run other than the click/pop remover in Cooledit cuz it ran slower than a snail in winter on my old pooder. If I wanna just remove one offensive pop, I use cool edit to select just that bit and save it and then use wave corrector to doctor up only that bit. Now, with my faster machine, I may have a fightin' chance with Cool Edit. Thanks to you guys for the other recommendations. Jay At 01:05 PM 8/16/04 -0400, you wrote: Hi Jay.
