Conversion takes place in real-time, which means 25 minutes worth of music will take 25 minutes to record. Connect your turntable to your computerĬlear a big working space that you can occupy for extended periods.If I have issues with my needle, only a 10 minute drive and $10 bucks or so. Furthermore, they can be hard to find, online is the only source. Many people go buy some old turntable thinking that if it's vintage, it's exactly what they need but they may take a factory replacement needle so you can't upgrade the cartridge. I like to have individual components because if you decide to get a better turntable, you don't have to worry about the phono preamp or interface, you can just replace.Īt the end of the day, my only real recommendation is get something with a DJ style head shell so you can easily switch out the cartridge. Though it sounds involved, it does make live easy because I have control of everything, plus I often like to EQ my samples before I record. For me, I like to have a regular DJ style turntable, a DJ mixer (has built in phono pre's) and run that to my board, then to my interface. The turntable may have all three if USB but some will still have a direct out as well which can be helpful if you want to run it through something before you record. May be a minor gripe for some, for me it's a big one.īasically, you need a turntable, phono preamp, and some sort of A/D converter. To me, that kind of breaks my vibe because I don't want to think about anything else but listening.
One thing about many USB turntables is you often have to have a recording program open to listen to it. The phono pre could also be connected to the balanced inputs of a different interface if desired. Many interface line-level inputs are balanced, but the Audiobox "instrument" inputs happen to be unbalanced, and are the right sensitivity for a normal phono pre output, so actually are a pretty decent match.
A stereo phono preamp output on a pair of RCA jacks will be unbalanced. In some cases a mixture of both can be used. Most consumer audio gear is connected using unbalanced interconnects (the common RCA/RCA cable used everywhere) and most professional audio gear is connected using balanced interconnects (via XLR or TRS cables). It's a little too long and complicated to go into details here, but this is a fair article that will explain the differences. There are differences in the type of cable used (number of conductors), typical connectors used and the immunity to noise pick up.
May I ask what does unbalanced mean, sorry I am new to this.Common audio interconnects are either "unbalanced" or "balanced".
