Whats the best way to digitise your vinyl?

I dunno. I feel like we need more info. If the music otherwise sounds good being played through the speakers straight from the vinyl, I don't see how giving it an actual wash with anything is going to affect how it sounds digitally.

+1.. more info is always good. As for washing it, it gets rid of grease in the grooves and particles of dust and dirt, so thats a good thing right?

Exactly. It's funny, when you are playing the files off computer and next to purely digital files, you notice it a lot more when there are little clicks, pops etc you might ignore if you were just playing straight vinyl.

Cleaning the vinyl keeps those to a minimum.

cleaner sound from the vinyl will give you a cleaner record on the digital front.

Not denying that. But, I'd like a better description of the sound issue. If it sounds good going through the mixer, but sounds like shit recorded off that mixer onto the computer, it's not the cleanliness of the vinyl that's an issue.
