Turntable Available

Sep 3 12:20 UTC 2004 |
Hitiachi HT 324 turntable with new Bang and Olafson cartridge. I've been
holding on to it in the vain hope I'd figure out how to digitize all my
obscure 33 1/3 folk albums.
Free to anyone who will take it and give me a set of my records on CD.

maybe 15-20 single-record albums.

Actually, only about 5-6 irreplacable self-produced albums.

Sounds like a fun project, but I don't really want a turntable. I have
too much stuff as it is. If no one else jumps up to help with the
digitize step I'd be willing to help out with it as long as I don't have
to keep the turntable after. :)

I too have some albums I would like to get digitized sometime.
Don't have a turntable anymore though.

I could probably do some album digitization, for money of course. I did a
few of my own, and while it's a bit too much of a PITA to do for free it's
not especially hard.

I just remembered that I also have a couple albums to convert. Someday
I'll get around to it somehow. :)

Price? Hm.... maybe $25 per album? That would include a decent turntable
playing into a professional soundcard, track marks in the appropriate spots.
Not sure about noise reduction.

Hmm, I'll have to check and see what is available on CD and what is not.

Do you plug the turntable output directly into the sound card or go through
a receiver? Record the analog sounds as a .wav file?

I'd go from the turntable into an RIAA phono preamp, probably the one in my
receiver since it's decent quality. Then into the sound card as .wav, and
edit for track markers.

From receiver line out to sound card line in? How do you make a .wav file
into an audio CD?

Convert it to .cda and burn it

Linux "cdrecord". Audio CDs use the .wav format.

When I was doing it with some of my own albums, I also ran some noise
reduction on the files before burning them. It was a bit of extra work,
but a light pass with Cool Edit's "noise reduction filter" did a good
job removing surface noise and rumble. It also works great on tape
hiss. It doesn't touch clicks or pops, though I've heard there are
other filter programs that do that well. You do have to be careful, and
"audition" different filter settings on a short segment before doing the
whole album, because too aggressive a setting will start to remove more
than noise. I was working with pipe organ music, and I found that
beyond a certain point the filter would make it sound "mushy" because it
would start to remove the crisp little "chiff" of white noise that
begins each organ note. Cool Edit's filter needs a stretch of nothing
but noise to train on. I strung together all the inter-track gaps and
trained the filter with that.

Cool edit does have a click/pop eliminator filter as well, but I find
that it doesn't do as good a job on the more noticable ones as can be
done by zooming in until you can see the individual samples and tweaking
it yourself. I always do a little post production stuff when I've
transcribed as well. It's not very hard, and I just do other stuff
while I wait for the job to run.

i have the software that *explicitly* was written to perform this
transfer - be happy to use it again, with a better turntable, i might
add.
