Griffin iMic & Turntable Grounding Cable Will it be possible to transfer vinyl music solely using the iMic and the grounding cable?

Thank you! I finally solved the hum problem by plugging the iMic into "Line Out" on my amplifier instead of directly into my turntable. The hum disappeared! Hope you got your hum solved, too.Maria

seems like this one might work and priced cheaper than other sites:http://www.thegadgetlocker.com/product_info.php/products_id/782-Bulent

I've been trying to use iMic and that Equalizer filter doesn't work. There is a hum throughout all my digital recordings. I tried to purchase the turntable grounding cable from Griffin online but it has been discontinued! I'm trying to find a grounding cable, hoping that this will solve my problem.Maria

I just recieved an iMic as a gift and I too have a hum in all my recordings.Roxio CD Spin Doctor can remove some of the hum but then the music and the vocals are diminished. I am looking for a cable also. This is what I found.http://www.techng.com/Griffin-Turntable-Connection-Cable-with-Grounding/M/B0007PL4BC.htm Griffin Turntable Connection Cable with GroundingOur Price: $24.95SKU: 1788137600-1156957894470Usually ships in 1-2 business days

I agree with commentator Kevin F. The Alesis cable will not do what you want. It takes an analog signal from the turntable and converts it to a USB digital signal for a computer or laptop.

No it doesn't, the connections are minimal in the back. But if there is such a thing as an adapter that would let you connect a turntable to an iPod dock or via a USB port, you'd be in business.

If you already have a tape deck with line out, you can get the ION Audio Vinyl Forever patch device. It has a fake decorative turntable on top, but it is just a device into which you can plug your actual turntable, cassette, 8-track, etc., as long as your music source has line-out capability. The ION device then sends an MP3 signal to your computer. $20 here on the jungle as of 11/2013.

I never attempted to do that since there is no external port for such connection on my mixer. i suggest that you do your external motoring via your computer and iPad.

Yes, I believe you could through the auxiliary inputs, since turntables are not considered very much, in the digital age. I do hope it works.

I've never done it that way but Yes you should be able to. At worst you would make a track as you listen, then you could save or delete. I/ve copied most of my vinyl and burned to CD as well as having a copy on my computer. Audacity works well (free)

Yes you can. This deck has a USB cable and two RCA cables. You can plug the cables into you receiver's or amplifier's line inputs. An older piece of equipment might have phono inputs. Do not connect this turntable into the phono inputs as the pre-amplified signal might damage you amplifier or receiver.

I also just want to play my vinyl records, can I plug it into my receiver and play them.

No I don't think so. Hmmm...how were you thinking of doing that? Attach a (separate) 1/8" stereo mini-cable between the headphone jack of the iPhone and the 1/8" stereo mini-plug input on this Griffin iMic. And then, in Garageband, set the iMic as the audio input source, and play the phone email while you are recording on a track in Garageband? Maybe...I've never tried it. If I wanted to do that, I'd email (Forward) the voice mail to myself, and open that received email on the computer with Garageband. I would Save the attachment, and then try to import it from my Downloads Folder into Garageband, if you can do that. That way it would save 2 conversions D/A from the iPhone, and A/D in Garageband, perhaps yielding slightly higher sound quality.Good luck. Good idea!

Keep in mind that phono (turntables) inputs normally need to be amplified verses a cassette, CD, etc... I believe you would need to use a receiver that would allow a by-pass for an EQ. You maybe able to route this from your turntable, to EQ and then to a MAC/PC using sound software too.

yes he Executive USB Portable Turntable easily takes your favorite vinyl and converts them to digital files. Simply plug in the USB cable, play your record and watch as the Executive creates digital files on your computer.

That will work if you have a phono preamplifier between the turntable & the T1 (some turntables have a built in pre - you should check that to find out). However the line-in doesn't have access to the tube buffer so only the PC will be able to use that. It's possible a USB turntable could use the USB input & then it would go through the tube buffer. Most USB TT's have a built -in pre - however they are not usually thought of as particularly high level TT's. You would also have to switch between using the PC & the TT in that case.

It says you can but I haven't messed with it yet, BECAUSE THIS RECORD PLAYER SUCKS!!! It is built cheap and it is awful. Get something from ION. They are quality and have a vinyl to mp3 output and software. Lesson learned. Cheap aint good and good aint cheap.

Yes you can. Turn on the Easy Vinyl application but do not press record. This will allow you to listen without yet recording to transfer to your computer.

The turntable should be near the desktop. You need to be near each device for the start to transfer and to stop the transfer after the last track on the record.

Honestly, I've never used the software. In the past I've used Quicktime on the mac to convert vinyl with a portable Ion record player I have. And that worked fine. But I'd say give it a shot and see how it works. Sorry I couldn't be more help. T
