[plug] Transfering vinyl record's to CD

[Shane O'Brien-Lynch]

God. I thought 1.5 hours per album was too much to transfer some
under-produced hissy 80's trash. I liked the idea of someone taking out
legal action against Led Zeppelin for coming out with Remasters, because the
original product was substandard.

Just a quick correction here. "WAV" is a Microsoft designed container
originally for basic raw and 
simple compressed samples. "Flac" is an open source lossless codec that
compresses raw audio down to 
~50% of its original size.

Record to WAV or RAW then burn to CD. Flac is not required in this signal
chain unless you are 
dumping your entire vinyl collection to HD first and you are hard up for
space.

I used to record an entire side at a time, post process the audio with a
hiss/click remover (used to 
take nearly a day to do a side) and then used Cakewalk Pro Audio (yes,
overkill) to spit the tracks 
and set accurate cue points before I burned to CD. Back when I were a
windows lad of course.

Regards,
Brad
