Keep the bitrate (more important than sample rate) and the sample rate as high as you can so 32/192.
#VINYLSTUDIO VS AUDACITY 32 BIT#
If you RIP to WAV you can go up to 32 Bit and WAV is more an industry standard much like AIFF, whereas FLAC is 24 Bit. There’s all the other electronics inside the computer which will introduce noise so a separate DAC independent of this would be the better option, kinda like Direct or Bypass mode for playing back audio through an AV Receiver. First off I’m not sure if using the computer soundcard to convert analogue to digital is the best way to go. I’m no expert on this but a couple of things I would consider. The RIAA equalization curve was intended to operate as a de facto global industry standard for records since 1954. The purposes of the equalization are to permit greater recording times (by decreasing the mean width of each groove), to improve sound quality, and to reduce the groove damage that would otherwise arise during playback. RIAA equalization is a specification for the recording and playback of phonograph records, established by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). However it is often unknown what equalization was actually applied to any specific recording. This would/should be a phono preamp/phono stage/phono preamplifier/RIAA preamp/turntable preamp - an electronic circuit that applies the correct equalization and amplification to the signal coming from your cartridge. This is very high-quality digital-to-analog, but I’d check on what it does for “analog-to-digital” as this is what you’d be doing when you rip your vinyl.Īnd consider also whether you want large, very HQ, FLAC files or whether you’re happy with smaller files and lower quality. I, and possibly many other people here, would like to make all sorts of suggestions over a far wider range of issues.įor example I googled your soundcard and see that it does “24-bit 192kHz digital-to-analog converter (playback), 106dB SNR”.

With a windows 10 machine and maybe the order you find best to accomplish this? Suggest what (free) programs I should use
