7inchpunk

any tips for recording 7″ on PC? any shareware or cheap programs? i’d love to contribute.

First to help in the first comment Mike,

I have a cd burner I have hooked up to my stereo system. But hey, google “recording vinyl to computer” and you will find all kinds of new gadgets that can do what you are looking for. The sites have requirements for your PC, software, operating system and hi-fi components (amplifier and turntable) Looks like a variety of options and costs.

Second: I can convert to mp3’s from all sources how can I contribute? I can send mp3’s through email and send cover scans as well. Thanks

meandaddy60…just zip/tar/rar whatever you perfer and you can send it through the upload section once you have logged in. Dont forget to include the mp3, scans, and the text file you want to add to the post. If you find that easier…

Oh I should have mentioned, obviously I’m only talking about the out-of-print stuff in those lists… I come to these sites and find great stuff that I may never otherwise have the chance to hear so if I have anything similar to offer then great, I’d love to do it!

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but for mp3 files, what do I put in the “decription” field?

Erector…put the name of the band and song

I see. Thanks for the help.

Seems to be working out great…but please only upload 7inch singles no albums and no cd rips, we want to enjoy the pops of the original vinyl as much as possible. thanks again.

I have to admit that I like a few pops and static in my rips as well. Maybe it’s just growing up with vinyl but somehow it just sounds right. This is a fantastic idea, now even you’ll be surprised at what makes your posts (yugopunk, didn’t see that one coming).

I hear you, it’s part of the experience. For me it’s part of the experience of actually playing the record though; pops and static doesn’t do a whole lot for me once digitized and playing through a computer or car or whatever.

Exiting idea. I’ll try to contribute. Not to be a topic changer here but… where’s the requests?

hey little jon..youre such a purist, which is great. but if this the only way we have to share the vinyl experience with each other…then i guess we gotta live with the digitized garbage.

You prefer to hear the original pops, clicks and noise in your digital audio and I’m the purist? Heh, OK.

I didn’t come here to upset anybody so I apologize if that’s the case, it wasn’t intentional. I really enjoy what you folks are doing and thought I might be able to contribute but perhaps I’ll be better off just leeching.

This is an excellent idea, expect lots of Irish stuff off me!!

Hey little jon…bro no offense taken at all. this is the one big reason i hate the computer, you really cant show expressions in the writing. when i re-read my comment you might be right it does sound a little harsh, but trust me i didnt mean it to sound like that. being a purist is cool, we all have a bit of it in us…just some of us can not afford to enjoy the originals the way they where ment to be heard, so we have to digitize and share what we can. we always welcome your input here.
No Apology Needed.
PEACE

Thanks for the opportunity to share some vinyl. I’ve been gathering mp3’s from a few of the blogs recently and am glad to now be able and give some back. Had a little trouble figuring it out but got some great C2D posted for you to review. Sorry about doubling up on “D Day”. Got it down for the next one though. Thanks again!!!!

i’m tha knucklehead that posted the “Anarkist Attack” ep, but i made the side2 graphic too big. hopefully it can be resized to match side1 graphic. sorry :.(

I use an ADS tech “instant music” external computer tool which hooks up to your stereo and then to your computer. It also comes with a NERO program which is awesome thus far and easy to work with. I cost around $40 bucks and you can find it at most big chain electronic depts. If anyone gets this and has probs with the program feel free to contact me.

OK

i’ll tell you the simplier way to record vynil, k7 (tape) and wathever primitive (as i like) to mp3 :)

just put the thing (vinil in the case) on the vinil player and make sure the player has a phones out or Audio out… you plug in a Line in cable in the AUDIO out (where the sound of the vinil source will came out ) and you plug the line in cable to the line in entrance of your computer (also works on the microphone entrance)… then just use a program to record n real time… i use cool edit pro 2.0 eheheheh

Sorry folks,maybe I´m too stupid…but I didn´t find the Upload - Button on this site…

Hi Seppo, You need to send the admin your user name so they can change your status to contributor. Until then you wont see any buttons.

Thanks

hey, i’d like to contribute. i have tons of great punk/hardcore 7″. lot’s of dutch stuff, but also quite some inetrnational stuff.

Hi h-bomb, your status has been changed to contributor so now when you login you will be able to post. Thanks

cheers. i will start posting tomorrow!

great! i like to listen, but also like to contribute. i have been thinking about starting my own blog, but maybe it’s better to to have a few really good ones, instead of tons of blogs with just a little on it. cheers!

still i have no access to the forum…???

i’d like to be a contributor too…user name..slanteyye

hey slanteye youre all setup as a contributor.

I have some music I’d like to post. I currently don’t have a scanner so I wont have pictures of the sleeves, but the music is better than nothing.

Also, what format of MP3 do you recommend? (That question is for anyone). I have been ripping my vinyl at 128 kBit/s and they sound a little tinny to me.

peteymon, 128 is fine as long as people can sample the music. but if you want i would at least go with a vbr 192 or above. also digital cameras make ok scanners thats if you have one of those. happy contributing!

Thanks for the advice on the settings, stunt. Can you change my status to a contributor? Thanks in advance. I’m looking forward to sharing.

peteymon, All done.

I’d like to be a contributor too…got lots of stuff here… ;-)
