Thanks for the replies so far...here is the setup I'm using:
Numark TTX1 direct drive turntable Standard 1/8" thick felt slipmats Shure M44-7 Cartridge Rolls VP29 Preamp (So I can go directly to the computer) "Monster" style RCA patch cords Dell optiplex GX260 p4 2.00ghz/512mb RAM/Soundblaster Audigy card So, I think the sound card is the weak link at this point. I've always heard that the Rolls Preamp's are good, but if you guys have other suggestions I'm open. The reason I'm using the preamp is so I can bypass my mixer and get the shortest path to the sound card. The carts are less than 3 months old. I'm using the "S" style tone arm, and I've adjusted the height, tracking, and weight per the instructions that came with the carts. I also have a Nitty Gritty record cleaner that I use to clean my vinyl before I record, and I use Gruv Glide after the cleaning. When I record, I use Sound Forge and I record at 44.1/16bit because that's the highest the Audigy card will support reliably. I think that 44.1/16bit is "CD quality"...? I would like a card that can do higher resolution, if you will, so that I can have good quality master files. One of the main reasons I'm looking into this now is because I just purchased a Stanton Final Scratch setup. If you're not familiar with what that is, it allows you to play digital files on your computer (.wav, .mp3 etc.) via turntables. I've been talking to a few other DJ's that are also using this system and have been told that the higher quality the sound file, the better it sounds, especially when played at a higher sound volume. This may seem like an obvious statement, but they are talking even beyond CD quality sound files. |

It should record up to 48K fs, which is in fact preferably to anything else, as internally everything gets resampled thru 48K whatever the source/destination sample rate, with the Audigy and Live series ! geoff |
