Please stop..Your coming off like a newbie so allow me to son/school you for a moment.
There is a "science" to making mp3s from vinyl if your selling CDs/making playlists for ipods/mp3 players like I do. Customers buy my CDs/playlists expecting quality in what they pay for. I could not possibly just press record and stop, and burn it in raw form and expect to sell it because:
a) The audio is untrimmed (Trimming is fixing recording start/stop points so there is no dead air before or after the song).
b) Fade ins/outs from vinyl have irrelevant noises (hiss, crackle, air, hum, etc) that need to be eliminated.
c) Each song is recorded natively with different audio levels (volume, bass, treble, etc) which have to be evened out so whoever is playing it is not constantly adjusting
THEIR system to
YOUR piss-poor recording.
d) I also ID/tag songs so it pre-populates on compatible players so the listener knows exactly what they are listening to and can access/categorize it with ease.
e) If I mix the songs (like a real DJ should), the tracks have to be broken up because no one is gonna buy one 90-120 minute track of continuously changing music, that's a b**ch to skip thru.
f) My reputation is for making CDQ, and there is no way you can make a recording from an analog source sound digitally clear without processing, irregardless if the vinyl is static cling new.
