[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1000431, member: 369937"] I would not turn those beautiful sounding unaltered vinyl stereo recordings into some sort of smashed up audio junk. Any form of digital recording is going to loose one half of the audio, I would instead look into getting a audio card that will record true left and right audio and give you the ability to record true left and right wave files. Why? When a ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) is used it has a sample rate, this sample rate can be 32 to 48 KHz, (32,000 to 48,000 times a second) the higher the sample rate the better the recording sounds, what happens is when it is recording the Left channel the information on the Right channel is lost, and the reverse when the Right channel is being recorded. The same with playback through a DAC, (Digital to Analog Converter) when the Left channel is being outputted the Right channel is gone. Also all forms of digital recording formats use some sort of digital compression, again when it is being recorded in a digital format some part of the analog information is lost to never never land. Now some may say that it doesn't matter as the sample rates are too high for the ear to hear the difference, but play the vinyl then play the CD, on a good system you will hear the difference. On a true audio system the L and R channels are recorded in separate xxx(Left).wav files and yyy(Right) and stored as such, and played back without compression, this takes up more romm on the hard drive but the sound is almost as good as you can get, without going live.
