get an audigy it has everything you need and great sound too and a nifty dooda that plugs into a spare drive bay so you can plug in the front rather than fiddling at the back of the pc :thumbs:

i have a audigy original it doesent need upgrading it was ahead of the times then and perfectly adequate now :thumbs:

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Sorry matey but have to disagree. If you want to do any serious sound stuff on a PC then avoid anything from Creative. If you don't beleive me ask jeepster.

turning vinyl into mp3 isnt "serious" mate ,if your doing it proffesionally then proffesional (and expensive) gear is needed ,putting a few badly recorded (in modern terms) lp's on a pc is perfect for even creative products ;)

and because MP3 (because of its compression) isnt really a "serious" format for proffesionals so it matters little whats used to grab it

That depends on your take on it chesters. It's a bit like saying that digital photography is not serious, or that scanning all your negs or transparencies is not serious. Most LPs, at least the ones I own were not at all 'badly recorded' and most of mine are in pristine condition. Only a fool or someone who does not understand what he is doing would scan there prized negatives or trannies and then save them as jpeg files, personally I save mine as Adobe PST files or uncompressed TIFF and then extrtact a jpeg from them as and when I need to.

 

When I digitise my vinyl I use Adobe Audition (it's like photoshop for sound). This will allow me to remove any clicks, pops and other spurious noise and then save the files as uncompressed WAV files. These get archived straight on to DVD or a DLT tape. I then convert the WAVs to MP3.

 

Admittedly Adobe Audition is a bit expensive, about £229. Alternatives are LP Ripper and LP Recorder, for about 90 Aussie dollars or the very good and free Audacity.

 

A professional quality sound card does not need to cost the earth. The very good and British mAudio do a range from £70 to £399 for a rack mount system.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

I am using Audition 1.0. This used to be called CoolEdit but Adobe liked the product so much it bought the Company (Syntrillium). Anyway to answer your question, no it does not create the MP3 files for you, but you could always save a whole side of an LP as one big MP3 file. I use an old version of LP Ripper that was free full product on a PC-Pro DVD.

 

You can always download a 30 day trial of Audition 2.0 from Adobe's web site and give it a try.

Ive got an old copy of cool edit somewhere, my son was using it, I also had a freeversion of LP ripper which only randomly converted the tracks or had a time limit, but to be honest the filters were not very good.

 

Found cool edit but no idea how to use it!
