Ion Usb Vinyl Turntable
What is your preferred option for sampling vinyl and bringing it into the digital realm?
USB Turntable like the Ion or Numark?
Just get a good turntable and a preamp and connect to my Saffire?
Any other ideas?
Also, anyone's opinions of software for wave file manipulation or cleanup would be greatly appreciated.
The audio engineer I learned from at the University of Minnesota uses a Denon turntable with SPDIF output. Although I searched for this turntable online I could not find it, and I don’t know the model number off hand. This method works quite well. The next generation turntables good for this task would be the USB turntables you are referring to. As long as you get a high quality one, you should be happy with your result.
As for your other questions:
If you get a preamp, and put it directly into your interface, you need to make sure that it is specifically a phono preamp. If it is a phono pre, it will work just fine. Although phono preamps are nothing special per-se, they have a special equalization characteristic known as R.I.A.A. EQ. (recording industry association of America). Due to the limitations of cutting vinyl, the RIAA standardized an EQ curve that allowed the groves on the vinyl to take up less space. All phono pre-amps have this EQ curve. If you use any old preamp (It doesn’t matter if it’s a Behringer or an Avalon) the records will sound weird at best.
As for software, it really depends on what type of manipulation your looking to do. If you want a sampler or sequencer, Reason is nice for sampling music and making/manipulating loops and midi, I use Logic for some of my more advanced wav manipulation (pitch correction mostly on live recordings), I use Samplatude for my windows based system to record and EQ, and I use Pro-tools on my Mac system. Some people swear by pro-tools, I only use it because people request it. I prefer the Samplitude.
I hope this Helps.
