When you convert vinyl into a CD, does the cd give you the noise and crackling sound from your vinyl?

Yes, it records exactly the way the record sounds. However, there is a way to try to fix this. You can load a freeware program called "Audacity" which has a scratch and pop remover. It will help some, but you have to do one track at a time and then save them and then burn a new CD from your 'fixed' tracks. It will not make it sound brand new, but it can help on many recordings. Good luck.

Yes. You get an exact copy. I personally like this. It captures the real effects of true vinyl wear.

It does on my player. I believe it does clean it up a little, the same way recording from vhs to dvd gives a cleaner picture. But only new or pristine vinyl will give a perfect recording.

No, not usually. If the record is not a conventional album - I have some that are etched - or if, on a 12" single, say - the grooves are far apart, there can be some 'streaming' when you lift the record out. I have never had this negatively impact any label, though. It just goes away when dry.

It does not play vinyl LP records...you would need a turntable to do that, but it will record them, if fed by a turntable as an input device. It will play back both CDs and cassette tapes (and record to either one or one to the other). You will need a separate receiver and speakers to use it.

Not sure, on all LP's? Could be Cartridge alignment as the further into the record the more distortion with misalignment or a bent stylus. Or the cartridge could be picking up noise from the motor, but I would think that would have been a problem from day one. Probably not much help, but if you changed the cart. recently this could be it.

Yes, it records from turntable to CD ... it will also, according to the instruction manual, record to cassettes, although I have not tried to do that myself - but I have certainly enjoyed the simple process of putting vinyl records and cassette recordings on CD. Hope that helps! Rick

No it's not. You have to change out the cd manually. It has really Great quality sound. Very impressed with the systems sound quality.

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)

No. You will need to digitize the LPs and the 45's then burn them to a CD before inserting them into the duplicator. I am converting all my albums to CD and SD cards and am using the Roxio computer program, but there are several programs that can be used to import the tracks ( you hook up your turn table to your computer via an audio cable into the computer's microphone jack) and then , through the computer program you import the music, and last, you burn the tracks to the disc. It really is not difficult.

The machine will plug into your existing* sound card. Either the one on the motherboard or an ass-on sound card. Then you create a file just for this on your desktop as a place to save the WAV.

The reason behind hot water is:::: The vinyl records have somewhat oif a memory and the hot water (besides removing dirt) helps the record to resume most of its shape. (GROVES). Most players used Diamond chips to pick up the sound. The groves tended to get wider and hot water returns them somewhat.

My vinyl to pc capture was pre hdmi. I used rca to pc audio input. Software must have vinyl clean up feature.outcome is not high quality, but provided a clean retro sound on cd for a friend who's father recorded the album for her. sorry, HDMI audio in from rca...haven't tried. Maybe Audicity could help

No, it's not--you can digitize your vinyl for use on your devices (basically converting the music on your records into mp3s), or just play your vinyl on old school with the audio coming through the built-in speakers. What would make it better is if it had Blue Tooth (so it could be played through external wireless speakers). But being able to capture songs from vinyl and turn them into mp3s for your devices is still pretty cool--that and the built-in speakers were all I was looking for.Hopefully this helps!

Just remember to keep your volume controls in the recording program (Final Vinyl or Garage Band) set to medium loudness and you'll be fine. Anything higher than medium will create distortion. Hope this helps.

Perhaps you are talking about a vinyl disc. You will need a turntable connected to the computer and appropriate software. I have used Wave Corrector for this for years, works great. If you have scratched CDs, the best I have found is Exact Audio Copy, which is free and does the best job possible reading the CD. I don't use any other tool, just give up on tracks that are too badly damaged. However, if the scratches are on the bottom (plastic), some sort of buffer might help. Rinsing with tap water or rubbing with thumb OUTWARD ALONG RADIUS, can help get rid of gunk. If the scratches are in the top, through the coating and into the aluminum, it's toast. None of these functions really have anything to do with the audio card, unless it has some software for this (which I don't use). CDs are fairly robust, having good error correction, so even with errors from EAC, you may get a usable recording. (Not so with DVD, where I understand they ripped out error correction to get more space.) Hope this helps - Pete

Stephanie these aren't vinyl record, they are cd's that has a decorative sticker on top that looks & feels like a vinyl record. These only can be played in any device that plays cd's.

Im also wondering the same thing, if there is a simpler version of just listening to old vinyls on your pc speakers

The most important thing you really need to know is that when it plays old CD it causes it to make noise and will take forever to load up in my computer. It is a bit too noisy for me, so I pop the CD out and put it into another computer and copy the files. Other than that, I have loved it to death because of the lightscribe technology.

Yes, absolutely. Just plug into the phono input of your receiver and you'll be listening to the sweet warm feeling of vinyl. By the way, this turntable has some great features for the money. I upgraded the platform to an acrylic platform, replaced the mat with a cork mat, and swapped the stylus for an Audio Technica AT440MLA Dual-Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge and it sounds amazing.
