Hi Georgina, A few years ago I did a podcast showing how to do this using Amadeus Pro and a Griffin iMic. The podcast was on blindcooltech but I understand that is now down. If you are interested I might still have a copy I can post with a dropbox link. Although Amadeus has changed

My first thought would be to use a sound editor like Amadeaus Pro or perhaps the other mentioned apps like Garage Band might allow you to manually run through the sound recording and drop markers at the end of each track and then instruct the program to split out into files delimited by these pl

Ahh, that's a bit harder since it won't be clear to software where one track ends and another begins. Maybe others have figured out how to slice up a long track into pieces. While Sox can split a file, it would be tedious to try and figure out the timecode where each split should be made. I'm g

Hello Chris, Apologies again, I meant split in respect of track 1 track 2 track 3 from a .wav file containing one side of a long player record. Thanks, Gena On 25 Jun 2013, at 18:29, Chris Blouch wrote: > Ok, so if you have line level outputs the simplest would be to just get an > RCA to min

Hello Chris, Many thanks for all your responses. I should have stated that the audio source is a stereo amplifier with a tape output. Very old hat but cool for me. Regrettably, my direct drive turntable with a reasonable cartridge has died so I'm having to use one of those driven by an elastic

What is your source? It it just the RCA jack outputs of a phonograph or is there already a pre-amp in line before the computer? The original output from a phonograph is like a microphone output - very tiny and not very good sounding. You need a pre-amp which will boost that up to a line-level a

Hello All, I wondered what apps you preferred to record vinyl records into .wav files? I am very familiar with making such recordings from the command line within a GNU Linux terminal. Then I'm going to need to split the tracks. I don't intend upon using any of the clean up filters some peopl
