How can I transfer music from an old phonograph record to my computer?


How can I transfer music from LP records to my computer. I want to
copy music from old phonograph records to my computer then burn them to a CD.
Is there a device that can do that?

There are two typical ways of getting MP3s onto your computer. You either download them from some website, or you get them from a regular (store-bought or borrowed) CD. But wait! there's a third way, and it's great if you have a ton of old vinyl sitting around unplayed, and you want to take those old scratchy classics along with your iPod.

Here's how you can convert your vinyl-to-MP3:

If you’re like me, you’ve got hundreds of old albums sitting around collecting dust. Or maybe you’ve got several dozen cassette collections from the 70s, 80s or early 90s. You hardly every get them out, unless you’re totally bored or you have an old song busting through your head, like "She's A Lover" by the Pretty Things, Grand Funk Railroad's "T.N.U.C." or "Baby Talks Dirty" by The Knack and you just gotta hear it. Now.

So you pull out the album, play the song and stick it back in. Now wouldn’t it be easier if the song was just sitting on your computer as an MP3, and you just had to click a mouse a few times?

All you really need to accompany your computer and sound card is a line-in recording device and a piece of software to accompany it.

Equipment-wise, you’ll need an RCA to 1/8” headphone jack cable and an MP3 encoder that gives you the option of recording any audio from your line-in. Check out Musicmatch or RealOne Rhapsody. They’re sufficient, although if you want to do any more serious recording with some spiffier controls and options, you’ll want to look into something like Cool Edit Pro 2.0 (now Adobe’s Audition) or Sound Forge.

Still, the low-end versions will accomplish what you want – getting the audio into your computer to convert that old vinyl-to-MP3.

Connect the output of your stereo amplifier to the back of your computer. And again, if you’re looking at doing this more than casually, you’ll want to look at getting a small mixing board, such as a Mackie Mixer for around $240. It gives you a number of inputs, and more control over your volume, balance, bass, treble, etc.

If all you have is your cassette deck, for instance, just hook the output of that into the sound card of your computer.

In MusicMatch, select the desired bitrate for your MP3s. For most uses, the near CD-quality of 128 Kbps will work. If you're like me, and want to make it a little higher quality – in case The Knack means that much to you – try 160bps or 192bps. It’ll take up a little more room, but hard drives are so cheap, don’t hold back on account of scrimping for space. Hey, these are precious recordings!

Now, browse your menu (most likely under options), and set the recorder source to Line In. To set your recording level, play the cassette or record and open up your computer’s Recording Control. (You’ll find that under Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices). Drag your mouse up or down on the slider to adjust the recording volume. You’ll have to listen back to the recording to check out the volume before you’re satisfied that it’s not too quiet or overmodulated (recorded so loud the sound distorts).

One of the tricks at this point in playing back your test recording is to find the darn song! I always have a little trouble finding it. To see where it landed on your hard drive, go to Options > Settings > Recorder and check the Tracks Directory. This way you can see the path and sub-paths to where the song is stored on your hard drive. To listen, navigate to File > Open and go to the directory where your song or test is recorded.

Once you’ve decided you like it the sound level and quality, go back and start another recording. You’re well on your way to creating MP3s of your vintage vinyl tidbits and precious and rare recordings. Then your records will be safe while the digitized version can be played over and over, shared with friends, or taken with you on your portable MP3 device.

Even if you aren’t into The Pretty Things.

What You Need To Know Before Choosing A Film Transfer Company

Most people are amazed to learn that each little film frame can range from a horizontal resolution of 700 lines to 1400 lines. This means that the resolution, or detail, on your old 8mm film is better than DVD and that the resolution on your 16mm film is better than HD!! Well, it's true. The available resolution for old movie film is only limited by the film grain size and the size of the frame. This is important to understand when choosing a company to do your film transfer. After all, you want all the quality you can get from your film when you produce a digital copy of it.

Equally important as resolution is the type of film transfer the company is offering. There are a few basic types of film transfer processes. More than 98% of the companies out there today use a real-time transfer. That is, they capture the film at the same speed that the film normally runs at. So, if a 3 inch reel runs in 3.5 minutes, the capture takes just 3.5 minutes. There are several ways to perform a real-time film transfer. Some shoot the film on a screen and record it with a camcorder. Some use mirrors and a camera. Some transfer the film to VHS first using equipment from the 1980's and then transfer that to DVD. Because of the transfer speed and nature of a real-time capture, the resulting video frames are usually slightly blurry and the colors are faded compared to the film. In general, any type of real-time film transfer will result in video that is 30-50% worse than the film's current condition.

A second and much newer film transfer process is called frame by frame. A frame by frame process means that each film frame is captured like a separate digital picture. Most frame by frame machines are high-end $50,000+ machines that scan or project the image directly onto a CCD device. Reading each frame one at a time ensures that all the details are captured from the film. A frame by frame process will result in video that is 30-50% better than a similarly configured real-time process.

Be aware, some companies claiming a frame by frame film transfer are doing a real-time transfer and then are extracting each film frame after the real time capture. Because the capture process is real-time, it will still produce video that is 30-50% worse than the current film's quality just like any other real-time process. These companies are trying to capitalize on the "Frame by Frame" slogan and price without giving you frame by frame quality.

So, at this point you've learned that film transfers can capture at standard definition (480 lines) or high definition (1080 lines). You've also learned that a frame by frame transfer can be 30-50% better quality than a real-time transfer. So, looking at it this way, there are now four film transfer process combinations. In order from least to best quality we have:

1) Real-Time Standard Definition (least quality)
2) Real-Time High Definition
3) Frame by Frame Standard Definition
4) Frame by Frame High Definition (best quality)

You'll find all four processes being used today and you'll see the price reflect that. Real-time standard definition processes go for 10 to 15 cents/ft, real-time high definition for 16-21 cents/ft, frame by frame standard definition 21 to 28 cents/ft and frame by frame high definition for 40 to 60 cents/ft

Besides these 4 different film transfer processes above, you'll notice that a few companies have started to offer restoration services. The reason is that over 90% of the old movie film today has colors that have shifted, exposure that is now darker, is grainy and scratched. These are natural side affects of the aging process. In addition, there may have been exposure or other types of issues that were originally recorded on the film to begin with.

Companies will have a wide range of abilities from no restoration at all, to a limited scene level color corrector, to full frame by frame restoration using dedicated film restoration machines.

Take your time to compare the different companies offering film transfers. After all, you only want to do this once and you want the film transfer to be as good as it can be.
