Whats the cheapest way you can think of to get music from an old record on to a PC. I've already copied the record on to a tape if its cheaper to do tape to PC.

I don't want to spend much, if anything doing this because I'll only do it once.


Or... If anyone has Ultra Boogie - 'Head On' can you please PM me.

hmm does either your record player or current tape player have rca outputs? if so you may be able to find some type of rca->mini-stereo cable which will definitely plug into the mic port of almost any sound card and you could then hit play and record directly, i'm not much of an audiophile but that would be one route I would look into.

i agree...just make sure your phono is grounded...and ive heard there are apps to capture that work great on pops and hisses...im also waiting for a more knowledgable answer here

Stereo phono to 3.5" cables are cheap and easy to find at Maplin - if you can't find an individual then buy their multi piece audio connection kit which is cheap as fuck, that has one in it.

Then probably use Tunebite to do the recording.

If you do go down the pute road run it through Adobe Audition.

Excellent piece of software which will bring it up to reasonable quality.

The old saying shit in shit out, you'd be better off getting the cd of fleabay.

If you end up in Maplin, the kit was (I think) around £6 and came in a blue zip up case. Lots of handy connectors in there, most gold plated.

You can't normally just hook a turntable up to a PC - the signal has to go through a phono pre-amp first.

Cassette is easier as the levels are linear (but a vinyl capture will give much better quality).
