    Question BEST FREE Software for Ripping Vinyl???

    Set up a new PC and im looking for the best FREE software for ripping vinyl?

    I had on the old tower a cracked copy of WAVELAB... and that was great but have not been able to find a free version online?

    I have used before GOLDWAVE but cant remember it if saves to .WAV AND Tags?

    Can anyone offer some advice and links for summit that will rip to WAV & 320mp3... and that will TAG what you save?

    Cheerz

    I use Audacity for ripping & Adobe Audition 3 for editing.

    The main file space you'll need is for your rips. The program won't take up much & if it's purely for ripping / trimming the start and end gaps then there should be no problem.
    With editing you'll need space for 'undo' stuff, but unless you're doing eq / beefing up etc, that won't be an issue.

    Record using 16bit 44.1khz Stereo wav settings, but you can save out as you like - wav being best of course. I also use a separate mp3 encoder (audiograbber using the lame codec) so not sure how good the one on audacity is if saving stuff out to mp3s.

    As for tagging - I don't use it, so no idea if it automatically does all that for you.

    They all do the same thing - just re-arranged a bit differently.
    It's only when you come to effects & stuff is when they differ.

    Audacity is free as far as I'm aware.

    This is what happens when you try to get dodgy stuff

    Anyway :



    Free File Hosting, Online Storage &amp File Upload with FileServe
    Free File Hosting, Online Storage &amp File Upload with FileServe
    Free File Hosting, Online Storage &amp File Upload with FileServe
    Pass:     4shar1ng
    Unless you have an account with fileserve, there will be a delay in grabbing each bit - I'd say grab part 3 first.

    PS:


    IMPORTANT!!!If you have any of recent AiR elicenserreleases (Cubase 5, Wavelab 6, Nexus 2,etc..) please note that this rls might f**k them up!WaveLab LE 7 is using newest soft-elicenser which overwrites AiR's custom created copy-protection DLL's!!!You've been warned!

    Most 'dodgy' software these days isn't that easy to install - some is, but most require lots of extra work to be done to get things to work - the price of not paying up

    Audacity is basic - hence it being 'Free' - but with my soundcard (M-Audio 2496) it's the only way which will allow me to record in stereo (for some strange reason).

    Never used wavelab but might give it a go as adobe audition keeps crashing when adding effects when doing my mixdowns which is very annoying.

    ere's WaveLab6 (26mb), works on all my PCs with winXPsp3, don't know about Vista (as its pish), or 7?
