Hi All,
I want to rip a bunch of vinyls to FLAC. I first tried Audacity but when I
change the interface to my Audio 4 DJ in preferences Audacity gets killed.
Can anybody help or suggest another recording device? Also when recording
with the built-in Sound Recorder (UbuntuStudio Karmic) and then trying to
open (import) the files with Audacity just does nothing (although the Movie
Player plays the files correctly.
Thanks for any ideas!

I second gramofile, Drew. It also does noise reduction (pops and
clicks) AND will detect the silence between tracks breaking up your
continuous recording while you're off doing something more interesting.

Looks nice but doesn't support FLAC, only .wav files. Also I didn't find out
how to change the input from my onboard sound to the USB sound card.
Thanks,
Martin

Conversion to FLAC after the recording is processed into discrete and
sanitized track files should be simple.

Hi,
I'm recording my vinyls with mhwaveedit through jack. It's quiet lean
and fast, but track splitting has to be done manually.
Here my workflow:
- Record one side
- split tracks (cut and paste to new file)
- normalise areas with very loud crackles to lower amplitiutes (if there
are some)
- normalize track to 100%
- change bitrate from 32bit float to 16 bit and save track as flac.
A clear naming of the tracks makes automatic tagging (e.g. with easytag)
possible.
Best regards,
Martin

workflow and need for effects, using Ardour sessions
for each record might also be an option.
I second that: Ardour is the best for cutting and for
realtime-processing (EQ etc) so why not use it for simple jobs too?

Easy enough to mass convert to flac or whatever with a little script surely?
Don't know about the sound card issue. Will look into it if I get a moment and
remember.

A very useful utility for splitting vinyl recordings is wavbreaker. It
detects silence points and allows you to set a marker at split points.
For bulk conversion of wav to flac, this command string works well:
$ find . -name "*wav" -exec flac -5 {} \;
