 Browsing your old vinyl record collection may bring back happy memories of long-disappeared independent music stores, browsing for rare white label 12"'s, or perhaps just admiring the artwork on your favourite albums. But the chances are you don't play any of these as much as you'd like, because for all their nostalgic appeal, records and tapes aren't exactly convenient. And that's why you need Golden Records Vinyl to CD Converter. This invaluable tool helps to liberates your analogue recordings by quickly transferring them to MP3 files or audio CDs, making it much easier to play them wherever you happen to be.
You don't know how to connect your turntable and PC? It's usually quite straightforward, just a matter of running a cable from the line out jack of your stereo to the line in connector of your sound card. Golden Records Vinyl to CD Converter will also happily accept connections via an amp or preamp, though, so you're covered for just about every eventuality.
Once your two systems are communicating then you can start recording. The program comes with all kinds of tools to ensure the best possible sound quality: DC offset correction, high pass filtering, RIAA equalisation, and more. But don't think that makes it complicated to use. All you have to do is check a box to turn on one of the filters if a particular record sounds poor, and in most cases you'll immediately hear much better results.
After recording both sides of an album you'll have two lengthy audio files. And it's easy to split these into individual tracks, burn them directly to an audio CD, or MP3 CD/ DVD, and start enjoying your favourite music again.
