How to RECORD Vinyl with U46MK II

[Sayco]

Thanks Blackbrook.

Will let you know how it works out, is it also possible to remove static ?

If not what program do you advice to use.

You could try this this

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

I've used it in the past.

Thanks Jim

You are not the first who advises me this program, but an external soundcard seems to be needed for good quality. So the question remains can i use the U46MK2 for this and how ?

Currently use this cable to plug in my old PC http://img.cbcdn.net/products/48328

Connect the U46 to your laptop, open Audacity, go to the audio preferences and set the input to 'U46 channel 1/2' (or comparable). Connect one of your turntables to input 1/2 and record.

Yo blackbrook,

Thanks it's working, i needed a way to set the volume right and adjust the bass a bit. So i've putten my mixer between the table and U46MK2, i asume this isn't a problem for the quality of ripping. Correct me if i'm wrong ?

I'm a bit surprised on how well it already captures the warmth of the vinyl, much better then my former method :-). Now al i need is a good program to remove the static. Any tips ?

PS where do i need to put the earth on the mixer/U46 ? Had tried the mixer and that sounded ok.

Big thanks all off u guys, where would we be without a forum :-)

Connect the ground to the U46, this maybe removes some static. If there is still something left (I bet it is) audacity offers an "effect": Noise removal. I have never tested it as I was quite happt with the original recordings. Test it and get back if you have got any other questions.
Anyway: good luck!

I use audacity for noise removalm, here are some settings that could work.
Forst of all, in the recording select a part that only has noise, and in the Noise removal window, click: "Create Noise Profile"
Than press Ctrl+A to select all, and open Noise Filter again, then set these up:
reduction: 30
sensitivity: 0
smoothing: 600
attack/ decay: 0.00

This removes eveything complitely, without distorting the sound. It is just awsome.

Why don't you use a major DAW software like cubase or ableton?
i bet their algorithms are far better than the ones of audacity.

No noise filtering in Ableton. I was looking for it, but I just can't find one, not even a VST.

Crackle remover from waves is an excelent plugin. Check it.

Hi

Tried the settings but they don't have the right result, volume weakens extremely ( wave shrink 50%). Also tried less DB because this was the mean reason for the lower volume, this however doesn't remove the static the way i hoped (tried 2 vinyls).

One of them is a bit of an oldie from 1993 which was remastered ( by EBONY CUTZ) IN 2011 terrence parker & Claude young Play EP

Aren't there any static removers which don't impact the wave so much :-(

Maybe you didn't do the "Noise profile" thing, or didn't do it the right way.
