Hi, I've got a bunch of old vinyl (and even those before these) records and some old tape cassette that I would like to record and put on CD or in a non destructive format like FLAC. I've scanned (not thoroughly I must admit) the net to see if there is a tool for this. I think that it would be possible to use ardour, ecasound, audacity or similar. I found a tool that is called PhonoRipper: http://www.8ung.at/klappnase/phonoripper/phonoripper.html The author says that it isn't good with ALSA so I rather prefer something else. But I'll give it a try anyway. If anyone has an suggestion how to use ardour, ecasound, audacity or similar I would appreciate that. I'm not sure how to do the converting. Could this be a way? sample the vinyl/tape spilt into different tracks try to remove noise and such maybe normalize? and maybe jamin? convert to FLAC regards, - Bengan -------------------------------------------------------------- - KTHNOC/SUNET/NORDUnet | http://www.sunet.se/~bengan | +46 8 7906586 -
