Ripping Vinyl To Computer
September 12, 2012 05:39PM
Hey, figured this would be a good place to ask a simple question.

I've got a bunch of wax that I want to bring with me on the road/to work sometimes; I've also been tasked with making a compilation of African tracks for a friend (since I've only got the one turntable it won't exactly be a mix).

So, what's the easiest way to about doing this?

My set-up is as follows: Tech 1200 > NAD Phono Pream PP2 > Teac Reciever

I've also got my computer's audio (along with other inputs) running IN to the Teac reciever....is the best way for me to do this to run an OUT from my (admittedly old and shitty) Teac (that's the next audio upgrade) to my computer?? I guess I'd be running a cable with RCA one end and a standard 1/8th on the other into my computer? Then I could use Audacity or something to record?

Thanks for what is surely a simple question, I've been looking around the web but figured there's some savvy folks on here that could help.

^How many outputs on that preamp?
Do you have a mixer?

The Preamp accepts the turntables output (coming IN) and has one other OUT going straight to the receiver. I don't have a mixer as I'm really not doing anything but listening for the most part. The NAD is just an in-between since my receiver doesn't have a PHONO in (or place for the ground wire).

Sorry to have you clarify, but when you say "one other out" do you mean it has 2 outputs or just the one that goes to your stereo receiver?
