I use Apogee Duet and Audacity on MacBook Pro to record vinyl. You do need to run two passes, first time to make sure there is no clipping, and second time for recording. ADC has level control, so you can connect ADC to the phonostage directly.
Recording Vinyl to iMac questions..
I want to digitise some of my LP's. I have had a brief look around of what to
do and software/hardware i will need.
VPI TT (got)
iMac running Audacity.
24bit Apogee or Lynx A-D converter at 96 khz
CEDAR CT15 de-click or Izotope RXA software.
I think that lot will do the trick and the way I see setting it up and running it is this?
Connect TT to the A-D converter then that too the PC?
Run the de-click program first. On doing that though do I need to give myself headroom for dynamic peaks or will the software take care of it and i run at -1 dbfs?
Do I need to do a second pass on the Audacity software after the de-click software?
Please let me know if i'm going down the right path!
Regards.
