you need the .cue file for the rip you have or use audio editing software to do, ie: wavelab.

Halo

use audacity. its free and will allow you to save to separate files. search sourceforge.net for it..... i use it for converting records into tracks for CDs.

I like cool edit pro. Very nice program and easy to use.

bikeboy

Me too, although it's now morphed into Audition by Adobe. Can be a bit daunting, but very cool. I use the Frequency band splitter function to pump the bass a bit for my vinyl conversions. I also use Steinberg Clean to clean up the crackles and pops on some of the older records.

Lots of stuff out there, and the process is pretty much the same for all of them. Select-copy-paste into new file and save

Ian, If your a record lover you're gunna be blown away when you try this then.

When I was working in a studio I kinda stumbled on a little trick that I call wet-playing a record.

What you do is basically drip record cleaner in front of the stylus as you run it off onto your digital format.

What this does is it cleans and lubricates the record as you go, so rather than the needle jumping over the dust and giving you a POP it picks up the dust out of the groove and doesn't make a sound. Sometimes the liquid will wash the dust away as well.

The other thing you'll find is the dry friction noise of the needle running through the groove will completely disappear.

When you zoom in on a wave on a silent part of the recording (on a dry run), you will find a solid white / pink NOISE and you can clean it up with the computer but I always found you were better off never recording it in the first place. When you zoom into the same wave on a wet run record you will have around 80+% less noise.

Try it and let me know what you think. I've done records for people and they swear it was never on vinyl when they hear it. So CLEAN and still got that analog "record" sound without the junk.

Also, sometimes the 2nd run is better simply because the needle picks up the junk the first time.

cool tip george. do you just manually drip the fluid on the dick, or do you have something rigged up?

I'll have to give it a try.

thanks mate

biggeorge

No, you drip the fluid onto the record

Manually. Or if it's a pump pack, spray it every couple of seconds and don't get the label wet.

The idea is to make the groove wet the whole way around where the needle is about to go.
It's labour intensive but worth the effort.

Let me know the results.

bikeboy

yeah, sorry 'bout that


will do, but it might be a while

cheers
