Recording external audio sources
« on: December 03, 2004, 04:26:19 PM »
Hello!

 I am considering to buy a Soundcard for the purpose of recording external audio sources and put them on CDs.
I am especially interested in sampling old vinyl LPs.
I own a sampler, but it is mono and 8 bit, so I would like to improve. My first choise would be Delfina Flipper.
What kind of software do I need to record from the board?
Any suggestion is welcome!

regards

The Delfina Lite shipped with some basic recording and processing tools. Don't know about the Flipper. Either way, there's bound to be some tools on Aminet. Anything AHI compatible should work.

I've done a little recording of audio from external sources onto my Amiga.  I used a program called AHIRecord which I obtained from Aminet.  It's a very very simple program, but it does what it says on the tin and that's all you want really isn't it?

To use the program you plug all your equipment in, play the source, then set your recording level up (there's a bargraph to give you a visual representation) so as to avoid distortion and then that's it - just press "record" when you're ready to go.

There might be other better alternatives if you're after something which provides more control, but I found AHIRecord to be a nice "simple but effective" program.

Thanks you for the information. Well, in first place that is what I was looking for. However it would be nice if there was some tool do to the so called "de-rackle", i.e. to eliminate
backgroun noise from vinyl.

thanks 4 the help
