Re: Vinyl analogue to FLAC transfers

i've noted that Bowman...yer catchin a beatdown next time i come down off the mountain

nah, i just usually discourage using any sort of processing simply because most folks don't have the audio engineering knowlege, equipment, or "ear" to properly clean up a recording...if you [the universal "you"] got the knowlege, by all means give it a go! otherwise, its best to leave it in a "raw" form, and others can clean up for personal listening as they see fit

as to the preamp, most preamps designed for turntables basically work as a "receiver"...for instance, my "preamp" is my mixer...to transfer, i run my turntables > mixer > comp line in [for "basic" soundcard setup, not my highend setup ]

what you *don't* want to do is boost yer turntable's signal with the preamp, and then boost it again with the soundcard...hence using the line-in only, and not mic-in or similar...

hope that makes sense...i'm on a coffee binger right now
