Hi - my Dad was a disc jockey back in the 1940's. I have many recordings he made at the radio station. We also had a record recording machine at home & made many records of poetry, radio play's etc. These are all 78's. I want to transfer these records to my computer or to CD's. All of the turntables I have tried have the automatic retractable arm. The old recordings I have start in the center of the record and play to the outside. Therefore, the auto retractable arm won't allow me to place it at the beginning of the recording. Does anyone know of a turntable that does not have this feature? Does anyone know how to disable an automatic retractable arm? Hi - my Dad was a disc jockey back in the 1940's. I have many recordings he made at the radio station.

Sounds like your new to the world of DAW...Digital Audio Workstation...This 1 is pretty good for the price, and Sony gives you a choice between some nice sounds in different musical genres for free downloading. But then you can buy them from Sony too. Remember that its meant for a musician in mind. You just don't hit a couple of buttons and out pops a song.... Good luck and I hope I got your question answered.

Looks like it needs Windows. See http://www.crutchfield.com/S-L7jBjg1mI7r/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?search=turntables&i;=057ATLP2DA, which gives more specifications than amazon does. The Audio-Technica AT-LP2D-USB is Mac-compatible--and also twice the price. So what else is new?

The turntable plugs into your computers USB and the sound would come out of your normal PC speakers. You can hook external speakers to the unit itself but don't need to.

yes I believe turntable with a usb connection will work just fine. the older styled one's may not as the inputs may not be ont the system. I really like this stereo for I can play cd's and not have to change them so often. Hope this helps

The best what? The best physical interface to use if you're making beats?That's kind of relative. I totally recommend hitting guitar center or Sam Ashe and playing around with what they have to see what feels right for you. Hell, you don't NEED one of these to make beats. I know Skrillex has said in interviews that he's comfortable with his mouse and plotting his drums that way. I don't know if he still does but there's that. Ultimately findingthe method that feels right for you and practicing unti you've got a feel for workflow.

First, you must decide which is more important...Saving and playing warped records or the life of your entire collection!! Maybe you should invest in a second cart and headshell so you can choose when to play warped records. Or, you could use the time tested method of a penny or a dime taped to the headshell. After a few plays you will notice what appears to be a whitish color in the grooves...and a shhhhhh sound, That is your music being dug and scraped out by the heavy tracking force of the stylus. I think keeping your records separated into flat and warped and using two headshell/stylus combinations is the way to go.&lt;Get a cheaper cartridge-stylus combination. A set up for 45's would be a good bet...The larger stylus may fit the record grooves better. &gt; Also, try washing your records and gently scrubbing the grooves with a med soft toothbrush. Go with the groove and not against it. Try this: Take a warped record that seems to be a loss ...Fill a sink with hot tap water, just hot enough to feel the heat, ( Not too hot or you will make it worse, the record will curl! A friend of mine had pretty good success with a hair dryer.) place the record in the water for about five minutes...Remove from the water, quickly dry and place on a flat surface with a weighted flat surface on top. (Two pieces of flat glass or plastic are perfect.) and allow record to cool thoroughly. Repeat as is necessary...after awhile the record will come back closer to flat, at least flat enough so that it can be rescued by copying to a CD. Also, Go on line and find a commercial record cleaning fluid to lube the grooves after washing them with dish soap; that may help with the skipping problem. As far as the arm is concerned, just adjust the counter weight until the arm "Floats" balanced then add one more click to let the stylus settle to the record surface.

What issues exactly? Everything works good for me. And about the sound if you are using or used to use mixers most of them uses transistors instead of sound cards. With sound card the sound it's not really crisp and not powerful enough. It's sounds way to compressed. Everything else you can't ask for more!! It makes your Dj skills really easy to perform ... It's saves all your cue points ... Loops... Etc. instead of create you loop every time on a track it saves it ... Next time you play the same track you'll have you loop there ready to use or not!!!

You can record straight through the USB. Nifty little thing.But beware, its more of a mixer than a traditional interface, so it doesn't split the tracks you may have already laid down from the new ones you're recording. So basically, EVERYTHING you can hear it in your monitor mix, it's going to be on the track you're currently recording. So if you're recording something live, its perfect. If you're tracking something, not so much...

I purchased this turntable and am having nothing but issues trying to get it to just play, I have Windows Vista, a brand new HP with the dual chips? Did you have similar issues? Were you able to get anything resolved? Thank you It plays for a short time then Pyro says Audio Stopped? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I cannot recommend this device for Music. I would however, do a search for "USB digital recorders", and my choice would be a Sony USB recorder. With the Sony unit I purchased a year back, you can download files from Computer to Recorder and from Recorder to Computer, and with excellent sound (especially if you want a Music recording) quality.Nailbreak

I looked at the mixer and it looks like the usb is only for plugging in mp3 players. You need a audio interface to connect to a laptop I use Roland UA-1G whith my laptop. Sorry for my first response I always just assumed that was what it was for.

Leonard, I gifted the Audio Technica turntable to a friend, thus, I cannot specifically answer your question with any authority. However, I have read that "purists" swear by a virgin vinyl recording played through an excellent turntable (into a very high quality amplifier with top signal-to-noise specs), as having superior dynamic range - as compared to a digital rendition of the same musical selection. To my untrained ears, the digital rendition, captured at the right sample and bit rate, will ALWAYS sound superior to any analog playback. This is simply due to things like wow, flutter, low frequency rumble, and other such artifacting that is unique to the analog playback process using a turntable. Then there is always the ever-present noise that can often be introduced in (both vacuum tube and solid state) preamps and routine audio frequency amplifier signal processing. Just my humble opinion, but I could be wrong!

This mixer does not come with USB. I used the "Behringer UCA222 U-Control" for that. This mixer does have an RCA in and out that you can use to connect to the 1/8" jacks on a computer, which I have used successfully. I have also used the headphone output to do the same with success. All outputs are line compatable. If you are looking for this to be USB compatable, then it would be in your best interest to try a mixer that has USB.

There are versions of this turntable with and without USB connections. Make sure that the description of the turntable you are purchasing mentions USB if that is what you need.

back up? like songs or beats? probably not, but you should spend a little more and get the newer model, it is amazing and will make you feel like you've traveled to the future. you can recreate whatever beats you have lost, I am sure of that! it is as easy to use as this one, but has a way better sound and is just great to create with. hope that helps

The Gemini Doctor himself says that you need a CD player as an audio source.... what is this world coming to? You're actually going to need a full blown record player as a source, as digital is for losers. Digital isn't really for losers, it just seems like there's no reason to get an analog amp if you're going to use a digital source. Generally analog people don't like their signal being converted back and forth and losing some of that sweet, sweet warmth to the digital mittleman. Sure you could use a .flac recording that's "lossless" but is it really? I'd rather not find out and spin the black circle when I want a really rich music listening experience and leave that .mp3 malarky for when I'm on the go. From here on out you won't find me without my record player in my place of residence. Anyway, you're going to need 1) a record player 2) records to play on that record player 3) speakers or headphones 4) this device or something that accomplishes the same task
