Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Ripping Vinyl to FLAC/mp3 etc
I had been using a Behringer UFO202 to record from my Planar 3 turntable (directly connecting the turntable to the UFO202, then connecting the UFO202 to my MacBook via USB). I just picked up a Rega Fono Mini ADC (£89), which works as both phono stage and provides a USB output to connect to the MacBook. What's nice is that you can adjust the output level (output from the UFO202 was a little low). In both cases I've been using Audacity to capture the audio stream and do any processing and tagging before exporting files as flac.

I use one of these to capture. 24201 Then I transfer the files to PC via a USB lead. File can then be edited as required.

But I think the output from the tape out is cleaner (avoids the gain stage of the pre-amp), and 99% of the time the level is fine and doesn't clip, but occasionally a very "hot" record will clip.

[SlimDevices: Ripping] Ripping Vinyl to FLAC/mp3 etc
In Music there was a short discussion of the gear that can be used to convert a Vinyl LP to digital formats and the do & dont's so rather than hijack that Forum I thought I'd repost the various pieces of hardware discussed with a few comments which people can then add to as required. USB Turntable - only consider this if you haven't already got a turntable. If you have a Turntable. Behringer UCA201 from a tape loop. This is a line level 2 way USB soundcard that operates at 16/44 or 16/48. Virtually all Laptop/PCs detect it as both a USB recording & USB speaker device. Powered over the USB connection. Behringer UFO202. This is similar to the UCA202 but can be used with a turntable that requires a pre-amp. Its input is switchable between Line & Phono level. Like the UCA202 it is powered via the USB connection. This means that it can't really be used as just a pre-amp for your Turntable as it won't have power unless connected to your Laptop/PC. Digital recorder e.g. Roland R-05. A handheld portable device that you would connect to the Tape Out of your amp via 2xPhono to 3.5mm jack. This is a line level only device as far as I can tell. The Roland is no longer made but there are similar products available e.g Tascam AR05. Personally I use a Behringer UCA202 in one location and a Behringer VMX200USB in another. The VMX200USB (and its baby brother VMX100USB) is a DJ Mixer with two way USB connection - it has the adavantage of being separetely powered. Like the UCA & UFO it will do 16/44 and 16/48. Software I use VinylStudio with some post FLAC processing in mp3tag Others use Audacity which is Free but IMHO much harder work.
