@Jim: The audicity wiki tutorial is very useful as well.

I used to be a thrift store vinyl junkie…..I still have a ton of ancient vinyl in addition to my old-school industrial and techno collection. From Jimmy Swaggart to The Harmonicats, I used to spin them all!

Peter,
Freesound is new to me, I have to check that out, thanks for that. And as is apparent by your comment, you know far more than I ever will about this stuff. hence the usefulness of the tutorial for ignoramuses like me.

Brian,

I’m glad you chimed in here, because you know full well I am out of my element. As usual, I was blogging this with you in mind, right down to the album image

It’s a good, simple tutorial. I use the iMic, but never thought to pipe it straight into Audacity.

Good on the Archive to promote grassroots cultural preservation. Now, time to hit the thrift shops…

Interesting! I still use my 1200’s and mixer outs when I need to rip vinyl…only because I still actually beat mix vinyl.

I wonder how a usb turntable would compare in terms of fidelity?

I also dig the archive [which for some reason is timing out for me at the moment] along with Freesound for CC audio.
