I have a Sony PS-333 turntable with a adapter to connecto to my computer, along with a copy of RecordNow 9 Music Lab installed on my pc. What I was wandering is when I copy my records to my computer what setting's should I use?
I tried copying some of my vinyls but the track seperater feature sometimes combine some of the tracks. How do I stop it from doing that?
Right now my settings in RecordNow are
Enabled for Track Detection, and silence gaps must be at least 2.2 seconds.
Should it be more or less than 2.2 seconds so the track detector can accurately seperate tracks?

Second on the beg/steal/borrow/buy better turntable, and I just use Audacity. Works great and free.

Good turntables are inexpensive now and it makes sense to upgrade. But if you only have a few albums to copy the PS-333 may be usable with the right cartridge and phono preamp.
How many albums did you want to "archive" and how much are you concerned about sound quality?

I want to archive 12 albums, When I copied the first 3 the sound was ok but the software gave me options to enchance the sound. The problem is when I was archiving, the software didn't detect the tracks good enough, and I want to know if theres a much better software than RecordNow9.
If I wanted to archive the rest of my LP collection, what turntable do you recomend me?

Reason I ask is that I wish to transfer a vinyl (Steve Hoffman Mastered version of Eva Cassidy songbird), but wish to transfer in as high sound quality as possible.

Here is how I move vinyl to CD. When ripping to digital from vinyl, different people want different things. Many want to stay as close to the original as possible and just burn it without any editiing. However, some people want all the extra noise (clicks) gone and they would use more editing while losing more of the original rip. In other words, what is good for you, may not be good for someone else...
Omari, can you turn off the automatic track detection? This almost always makes mistakes, even on standalone CD recorders. The software should provide some way to manually mark tracks, either while playing or when editing the music on the computer. So, you'd record the record as one track per side, then break it up in editing.
Here's how I do it. Equipment:
Rega Planar 5 turntable with Rega Exact cartridge
Graham Slee Reflex phono pre-amp
Mackie 1202 mixer
Alesis ML9600 hard-disk and CD recorder
Technique:
1. Sample the album for loud places and set the level. The ML9600 has no input level control, so I use the Mackie for that.
2. Once the levels are set I record the whole LP to one long track on the ML9600. This is recorded at 24 bits, 96kHz.
3. After recording, I do basic editing: cut off the lead-in and lead-out noise, divide it into tracks at the points I choose, and reduce intersong applause if needed. I can apply fade-ins and -outs too, if needed.
4. Once the playlist is as I want it, I tell the ML9600 to make a Redbook CD. This process takes about 1.5 times the length of the CD for rendering and then burning.
5. When the CD is finished, I take that to the computer (Mac Powerbook) and rip it to Apple Lossless with Itunes. If Itunes can't find track data I enter it now. Sometimes I get lucky and find that someone has already ripped the album, and Itunes' logic is fuzzy enough to find it even with the normal variation in track length.
6. The computer rips the CD. I stash it in a safe place for backup and enjoy the music.
This process, chosen mainly because it uses equipment I already own, makes beautiful sounding CDs. It's limited mainly by the quality of the record. Benefits of this system are its independence from a computer and the sound quality of the ML9600. Negatives would include the rendering time: it's not a speedy process.
I'm thinking about an upgrade: replace the ML9600 and Mackie combination with a Benchmark ADC1 and the computer.
There are commercial services to do this. A quick search found two: one charges a minimum of $26 per CD, assuming it's not too long. The other charges $10 basic. I have no idea how good a job either does.
Kabeer, if you'd like me to try your album, let me know. I know how frustrating it is to try to get the records you want on CD.
