I have an Onkyo TX-DS939 Receiver and an Audigy Platinum 1 SC & LD. I have looked through the manual several times to figure out if I can use Video 7 to record the LPs to my HHD. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I assume that I would need a program like Steinberg's Clean or Sound Forge to record and edit the music.

Right. If you don't have access to SoundForge or Cool Edit Pro,
then you can use freeware CDex > Tools > Record from Analog Input.

Perhaps the Nero wave editor is sufficient.

Thanks gentlemen. Now I all have to do is figure out how connect the receiver to the sound card.

# Hardware
Turntable / Builtin turntable
Some kind of signal converter (amplifier), an amp or a receiver is fine
rca (male) to 3.5mm plug (male)


~1gb free space per side

# Software
Use what you like, I prefer Goldwave 4.26

## Steps ##

1. Connect the cable from a connector on the amp/receiver named Rec Out (Tape 1/2) to line-in on your soundcard.
2. Set line-in as recording device in Volume Control, adjust levels (set the slider around the middle).
3. Open Goldwave and create a new file (about 40 mins) in CD-quality.
4. Play a track on the turntable and press the rec button in Goldwave.
5. Check the VU-meters, they should be around the yellow/orange area and not go below the light green or be near the red area. If not, adjust the volume slider in Volume Control.
6. Record one side and then cut out each track using the left and right mouse button and save using Cpy2 button.

Before saving you might want to adjust the volume on your track, Effects --> Volume --> Maximize (Increases volume as high as possible without distortion (i.e. normalizes the volume)).

One minute is about 11 megabytes.

Well, a long-play record cannot be of worse quality than a very good tape recorder, i.e. a three-head device, or a digital audio tape recorder. They are easier to carry to your computer than it is to build your pc equipment around the hi-fi set. Moreover, there are cables with the normal cinch plugs on one side and a 2-mm-sound card plug on the other. You don't have to care for the third connector of your turntable then.

Thanks Gentlemen.
