After transferring my vinyl recording to my PC and recording it to CD/R CD all I hear is white noise and some crackles when I play the CD. In addition, I get the same result if I play the tracks on the hard-drive using iTunes or Win Media Player.
I have tried this on 2 boxes and get the same result.
I have verified that I can play a commercial CD on both machines.
I'm using an ION TT USB turntable as my source and connecting thru a USB 2 connection.
Can any one tell me what is wrong here.
Thanks...
Hi,
I might suggest a possible solution for records. Although the software ads suggest you do not need a preamp, I find that I need one when using my phonograph as input. My table does not have a built-in preamp, and my PC does not have an add-in sound card with an appropriate input for my turntable. The test for you is - can you hear your record playing thru your PC speakers using the Windows Media Player? If not, the direct output of the phono cartridge is not enough without a preamp. Maybe this helps.
