Does anyone know if the rca inputs on this sound card work for vinyl recording?

Usually if the stylus is in a magnetic cartridge, you'll need a pre-amp first and a ground.

I don't see why not I haven't tried it myself but I would think as long as the vinyl player has RCA outs I don't see why the card wouldn't work for this, I think the software the card came with can clean up the sound but like I said before I haven't tried it myself.

I have to agree with what Eric said, I've done tape player recordings and they came out pretty good. I have a tape player that I plugged into the Sound Card, I tweaked the recording adjustments and it came out great. You can do so much with the card, I'm just a tinkerer and it was easy to use. I mostly use my card for playing music, gaming and chatting on-line.

Sorry I won't be able to completely answer your question as I am out of town, returning next Wednesday. The unit was purchased to copy cassette tapes to CD's. I have the unit connected to my receiver and can monitor the tape being recorded to cd, and can play back the cd. I do not believe speakers can be connected directly to the unit. The unit would have to have an AUX input to do the vinyl LP thing and since I am away, I cannot verify that feature. I can check it when I return if that's any help. My email is rcrector@verizon.net if you haven't found an answer by next Wednesday.......Ron Sorry I won't be able to completely answer your question as I am out of town, returning next Wednesday.

There are some turntables that have a built in amp. Mine does so it works with straight RCA inputs.

Yes it will, I have a Tascam cc-222slmkii to record vinyl to CD. If you are recording cd to cd, may I suggest you run a audio toslink or digital coaxial cable from the player to the recorder. If you have the connections.

I am sorry, but I am unable to help you. I use my RCA unit only for playback of DVDs...

Honestly, I am not sure. We used the Audio Technica to transfer our vinyl to CD; not to listen to the records.

No your built in sound will be fine. The amp and software will clean everything up. Getting pops and clicks out of vinyl is a little tricky as it can make the recording sound muddy. Otherwise the amp worked great for me.

Hi again, Jerry... Just want to clarify my earlier answer... the speaker connections are not RCA. The phono, tape, CD and Video/Aux connectors are RCA. Sorry if my first answer was confusing....

It doesn't have RCA inputs. All it has is a mini jack aux in (like a iPod headphone jack, only its an input). So you can buy RCA female to mini jack adapters. However, you should note that the jack is in the front of the unit, making it rather ugly to have something hooked up all the time. (Also there are line-level issues with things like turntables, which might make it impossible to do this, depending on your turntable. I don't know enough to give you details).

It should work just fine with the XLR inputs, although it only has 1/4" and RCA out, no XLR out.

This item does not have RCA inputs. This only has two XLR inputs and two XLR outputs. Its main function is to connect an old amplifier that does not have 48-volt phantom power to newer quality microphone that requires 48-volt phantom-powered.

It will convert any RCA source you hook it up to. So you'll need something that can play beta tapes, like a deck or camcorder, that has RCA output.

I believe so. It's standard RCA stereo connection IN to the adapter, then USB OUT to the computer. So I would think any sound source that is coming RCA OUT to RCA IN should be fine. I used my tape deck and my turntable. Only thing you might have to play with is the PHONO/LINE switch. When I used my turntable directly into the adapter, I had to use the PHONO setting. It's really easy to use and I think it's a great product.

yea, you have 3 external outputs: headphone jack, RCA output, and L/R for speakers. i do recommend an amp or powered speakers because the volume is pretty low, and also you dont get a lot of treble when playing your vinyl.

not from the unit, but if you are feeding the sound in from analog source to the rca's in, sure you could. This is a component recorder, it doesn't connect to the pc in that way. But as I say, If you feed the line out from the source, to line in on the unit, you can record what you hear.

Does your turntable or cassette deck have a USB port? If so, then this cable may likely work for you. If you hope to play audio out, then try and capture it from your computer via the USB port, i'm not sure what software might allow this, if any. http://www.avsforum.com/forum/index.php Avs forums might have more information for you here.

Unfortunately it only records in mono. You'll only get one side of audio and you'll have to mirror it in post production. It works great for mono recording but is, shall we say, a little one sided.
