    recording vinyl to computer

    i was wondering if anyone knew of any antipop software that works quite well. im recording some old vinyl :p of my dads and its in the era of 1970 - 1980 so the records are in good shape, just theres hiss and some pops, so i wanted to know of some good software to get rid off it without sacrificing audio quality. minimal is good enough, thanks in advance.

      Re: recording vinyl to computer

      Hello again, Brian! This is an interesting query of yours - it's a subject which I have researched quite a bit for my own use. (I make the occasional bit of pocket money doing Vinyl/CD conversions, and, being a perfectionist, look to getting the cleanest possible result.) Recently, I came across a small application called DePopper. A fully working 30-day trial version is available, and I used it on the last six discs I had for transfer. It certainly works very well indeed - my only criticism is that it's a bit slow. I would certainly recommend you give it a try. If you subsequently decide to purchase it, the price is only $18 USD; fyi, I intend to use the next available cash I can spare to purchase it for myself, so perhaps that's a good testimonial. You'll find full details at http://www.droidinfo.com/software/depopper. Good luck with your project! :smile2:

        A program specifically written for transfering vinyl to CD is Waverepair available from http://www.delback.co.uk/wavrep/

        It is shareware I'm afraid.

            I would go with lossless to make sure you don't lose any quality, as long as the software will output a WAV file or some other lossless format. If the software will only spit out a lossy format, set it to spit out the highest bitrate lossy file you can, and keep it in that format.

              definately have a lossless copy, burn some CDs

              im not sure how good audacity would do on the clicks, but it can remove some noise http://audacity.sourceforge.net and its free :D
