Ripping Records Question

jmr do you remember what programs you used to transfer your vinyl?

Yep!  I used Audacity to record the vinyl.  I recorded 1 side at a time, at settings higher than CD quality (24-bit / 48 kHz) for archival purposes (I keep the original vinyl recordings on DVD-R)

Before I burned to a CD-R, I used Adobe Audition to ‘clean up’ the recordings.  I used a small touch of noise reduction to get rid of the constant background noise, and I manually selected and repaired any major clicks and pops using the repair transient feature (the name of the feature was changed to ‘auto heal’ in newer versions of the program). Lastly, I split the recording into individual tracks, converted everything down to 16-bit / 44kHz and burned the files as an audio CD. 

If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email; my address is jeffreymr [at] gmail.com .  I’ll be only glad to help.
