![]() ![]() ![]() It's rare I get any really intrusive noise. When I've finished the side I save the file, then split the file by cue point, which is a very quick process. I do not do any fades in or out for the full side, and live with the minimal tracing noise.Īt the end of the side I perform a linear fade out of around 6 seconds.Īt the start of the second side I do the same as for the first. I then work through the side listening and looking for annoying crackles and bangs, and dropping the odd cue point here and there. Gets rid of all the groove noise without losing any music. The start is chopped down, with a second or two before the sound starts, and a rapid logarithmic fade in is set from the start of the file to the point just before the sound begins. Goldwave is a very straightforward editing tool, but it has the benefit of being able to create cue points for later splitting up of the file. The file is then edited down in Goldwave. I load the complete file into Adobe Audition, and inspect the waveform, and set some overall level increase, apply it, and then save the resultant file with appropriate tags. The resultant WAV is stored on a micro SD card, which is subsequently removed and put into a card reader on my computer, whereupon the file is copied. The most important thing is to not overload the recorder input. The input level on the recorder is set to -48dB (as low as it can go), and the overall level is tweaked upwards using the amplifier volume control. I switched to using a battery powered field recorder, in my case a Tascam DR-07 MkII, which is hooked up to the headphone jack of my integrated amplifier. It's very low amplitude stuff, and it doesn't help. Very low level ground plane noise and the like. You'd be surprised at the additionals that a USB powered device can add to your recordings. I don't want to fight with anyone out here, but the answer of "buy a new turntable" is a pretty flippant response. I was hoping I could come out here and ask the question, which I thought would be a no brainer for some out here, without it turning into a social media piss off. But the noise between the tracks is something I haven't had a satisfactory solution for. The effort to be surgical about the rips isn't worth the time for me. I do the transfer, run a click/pop eliminator, normalize to about 98%, then cut to tracks. I've been doing vinyl rips for about 18 years, but very basic stuff. I was also hoping that some software might be out there to help. I did some reading and saw there might be a pre-amp that can cut that noise, unless I misunderstood. The best I can explain it, it's basically the tonearm/cart/stylus riding on the grooves. I am yet to hear a vinyl rip that didn't have turntable noise. It's going through an Onkyo TX-RZ720 receiver with a bulit in phono amp in the receiver, out to a SoundBlaster external soundcard to my pc with RCA cables.
