Whats the best way to digitise your vinyl?

[rhythmtech]

you shouldnt have any problems getting a good recording from vinyl. i digitised my entire collection years ago and its perfectly playable.

the way i did it

all eq's on mixer at neutral
record it so that the loudest part of the track just slightly clips on the mixer and hits about -1/-2 on the editor record meter.
add the slightest touches of eq in the audio editor afterwards (only very very slight touches) - use the best software eq you can find, has to be totally transparent. flux epure for example
render the file to the highest quality mp3 that you can.

good luck.. tkes bloody ages!!!!

When you say neutral do you mean eq's down to zero then pump it up with eq's on my software?

eq's bang in the middle and like theledge said dont pump it at all.

use a transparent eq for little touches but ONLY if you need to (ie: old vinyl thats lost some thump) - but you really need to know exactly what you're doing with the eq.

the aim is to get a degraded vinyl back to as close to the original recording as possible.. not to add anything to it.

hence a good quality transparent eq (one that doesnt impart its own sound/tone on the recording)
