[dba-Tech] Converting LPs into digital audio

But if you look at Club DJ's they are seldon using CD's or computers to
mix.
Allmost all of them still use vinyl because there is still no equipment
available that can simulate the use of a turntable with vinyl. Thats why
several software are available created like, vinyl scratch, that uses a
turntable with Vinyl to control a soundfile on a computer.
One big disadvantage is still the latency with these software, how fast
are computer are today is still not fast enough to reduce the latency
between an action and the actual result of that action

Very new (club) music is still first available on vinyl sometimes for
months in advance.

Some DJ's still believe in vinyl because the audio quality is superier
(warmer) to CD, which 
is true when having good turntables/cells.

The big disavantage for vinyl (music quality wise) is the analogue side
effects, like noise and scratches.

They have double-sided turntables now LOL.

Actually I have two turntables: one is a Panasonic Technics and the
other a classic Oracle turntable with no actual turntable, but rather
three rubber pins that support the disc. Way back when, it cost $1K CDN.

As to recording vinyl to CD/DVD, it turns out to be almost effortless. 
First you need a cable that will extend from your Audio OUT on your amp
to your EXTERNAL IN on your sound card. In my case I needed to buy an
"unsplitter" that turned the two cables into one at the input end. That
was about $5 and the other cable (25 feet) was about $7. After that it's
a no-brainer. Plug it in, with a disc in place and your software ready
to record. Drop the needle and that's that.

The down side is that the whole side of a vinyl record is understood as
one track. But I don't care about that. I just wanted to capture the
vinyl.
