Ways to digitize vinyl collection

seriously...about to start converting my collection to mp3 and seriously want to know what's the best sounding/most efficient way to do it.The law is not the private property of lawyers, nor is justice the exclusive province of judges and juries.

hey man
if you have any friend who have final scratch or anything similar try and borrow it and record as much as you can. If you have to rely on using the vinyl preamps in a dj mixer they tend to colour the sound.
Basically you want the signal chain to be as short and clean as possible, using the best preamps you can, and use good quality needles and clean your records first. Bit of fairy liquid and warm water works wonders.

Audacity. Simple as really. Convert them to FLAC.

record 24bit Wav thru the best A/D converters you can afford. nice preamps + brickwall limiting with ceiling -0,02dB.
then convert to 320kbos mp3."Computer games don't affect kids, I mean if Pac Man affected us as kids, we'd all run around in a darkened room munching pills and listening to repetitive music."

Why would you need a mic pre amp? Originally Posted by BloodStar

Most DAWs meters can miss some peaks so its best to peak at -3dBfs.
