I purchased a Korg MR-2000S Studio Recorder. With this setup I connected the phono preamp output to the Korg input. Then connected a PC to the Korg via a USB cable. I would record both sides of the album to one file on the Korg in DSD format. I would then copy the DSD file to my PC. On the PC I used Korg AudioGate software to convert the DSD file to PCM 96/24. I then used purevinyl (Channel D) to download album art, track lists and separate each track into a separate file. You can also use the software to remove clicks and pops. Track separation is a tedious process and I used head phones to help with the process.
Best way to digitize LP's
Looking for advice - I have a big LP library, several turntables and just as big CD library which i have already transferred to Roon and ....iTune... :) i am looking for an efficient and not too complicated way to digitize my LP's - I assume there should be a piece of hardware (with software) that i will need to inset between the Phono stage and a PC (no mac)? My turntables don't have built in Phono stages or a way to do it (i know there are some turntables that have this capability built in).
Thanks for the help!
@welcher Your process works, but look at the number of steps involved. I believe the OP was hoping for something simpler.
@dadork Actually I own several lps that are not currently available digitally, therefore cannot be listened to in any digital format. I have transferred a few using a Project Phono Preamp with a usb out , to a MacBook and then used Audacity software. It is tedious and the ProJect is a noisy POS. The noise can be decreased with the software but the results aren’t great and I’d rather just listen to the lp |
