February 20 2011 by shacker The Compleat Guide to Digitizing Your LP Collection For anyone over 40 or maybe 30 having a music collection probably means that in addition to racks of CDs and ridiculous piles of MP3s youre also sitting on bookshelves or borrowed milk crates full of vinyl LPs Hundreds of pounds of spaceconsuming damageprone vinyl LPs were music you could touch with glorious fullcolor 12 album art meandering liner notes and the practical involvement of lowering needle to plastic Longplaying records represent an era when music was less disposable we actually sat down to listen rather than treating music as a backdrop to the rest of life Dragging a rock through vinyl was not some kind of nostalgic love affair with the past it was just the way things were The cost of admission was pops and scratches warped discs having to get up in the middle of an album to flip the disc cleaning the grooves from time to time and getting hernias every time you moved to a new apartment We loved our vinyl despite and because of its warts but we also didnt hesitate to go digital when the time came first with CDs and then with MP3s and other filebased formats We complained that CDs lacked the warmth of vinyl but CD technology got better over time We complained that the typical MP3 was encoded at bitrates too low to do justice to the music but we learned to encode at higher resolutions or to use uncompressedlossless formats Eventually most of us gave in to temptation and started listening only or mostly to files stored on a computer I personally held onto around 700 records made before the 90s in addition to a few boxes of records my parents left in my care Most of my CD purchases from the 90s and 00s had been ripped long ago but the LPs were locked in limbo wasnt listening to them but couldnt bear to let go either In 2011 I finally decided it was time to hunker down and digitize the stacks to unforget all those excellent records Digitizing LPs has almost nothing in common with ripping CDs Its a slow process and a lot of work But it can be incredibly rewarding and going through the process puts you back in touch with music the way it used to be played ie its a great nostalgia trip In this guide Ill cover the process of prepping your gear cleaning your records and capturing as much of the essence of those old LPs as possible so you can enjoy them in the context of your digital life Setting Up So you want to digitize your LP collection Thats awesome but slow down cowboy this isnt going to happen overnight When you rip a CD the whole process is pretty much automatic stick it in click Go and youre done in minutes my iMacs optical drive rips at around 16x The metadata album title artist track names recording year and album art are often retrieved automatically and you never give a thought to dealing with surface noise But when you square off with a stack of LPs you find out quick that youve got some hurdles to clear I was process a long one Its going to take a while to get your gear in order youve got several decisions to make and each LP you rip is going to take actual time Fortunately once you get a groove on things flow pretty smoothly You just have to forget that youve been spoiled by the ease of ripping CDs change mental gears back to analog mode and look forward to getting handson with your music again Heres the general roadmap Ill go into each of these separately below Tune your table Make the connection Clean your vinyl Pick the right software Decide what to rip and what to toss and what to repurchase Pick an output format Establish a workflow Deal with noise Export tracks Tune Your Table and Cartridge Because of the time involved you want to go through this process exactly once If youre going to do this thing do it right You need to think now about a listening picture bigger than your iPhone and earbuds bigger than your desktop computer speakers The ultimate goal is that you can play the final result through the best amp and speakers you can find and itll be indistinguishable from the original or as close to it as possible In fact it may even be better if you filter out pops and scratches carefully Who knows what kind of home stereo youre going to have 10 or 30 years from now Think longterm So if the process is so timeconsuming why not just repurchase everything If youre sitting on a lot of LPs buying a new digital copy of every album is going to be expensive even though a lot of older LPs are available at emusiccom and mp3amazoncom for 57 Sure your time may be worth more than what it takes to digitize everything yourself but not everything needs to be an ROItimeismoney calculation right If you havent thought much about your turntable for two decades take time out to make sure its in top condition before beginning It makes no sense to spend dozens or hundreds of hours digitizing if the audio quality is going to be diminished for want of a new needle or because your cartridge hums or your turntable transmits motor noise Think of yourself as an archivist creating a collection youll be proud to pass down to your children I was pretty happy with my old Pioneer PLA35 built solid and totally reliable but I had forgotten how long it had been since Id replaced the cartridge and needle Contacted Jim at Needle Doctor and told him I wanted the best setup he could recommend for a Benjamin or less He suggested the Ortofon M2 Red and I went for it to blow your own mind surf around the Phono Cartridges section of that site to see what you can get for 15 large yes 15k To be sure Id made a good decision I digitized the same album both before and after installing the Ortofon and the difference in tonal range and responsiveness was very audible a new cartridge was a worthwhile investment If youre not sure whether your turntable is up to snuff take it to a qualified audio shop and ask their opinion You might want to have them do an alignment and lubrication or let them talk you into a new turntable Hooking Up The turntablecomputer connection Traditional turntables output audio at a level lower than standard linelevel In other words you cant just plug a turntables RCA cables into your computer and expect it to work Youll need either a dedicated phono preamp or a turntable with a builtin line stage or USB jack There are a lot of turntables on the market with builtin USB connections many of them specifically designed for digitizing old collections But many of them are cheap pieces of lightweight junk and just not worth it especially the inexpensive models In most cases youll be better off with a welldesigned traditional table and outboard analogdigital converter ADC There are a dozen or so USB phono preamps available on Amazon ranging from 501200 My darling wife got me the NAD PP3 for Christmas around 200 but no longer available Since it has both USB and RCA outputs Ill still be able to use it in the home stereo for standard LP playback once the digitization process is complete though itll be connected to my computer for the foreseeable future Honestly I cant tell you what to look for in a USB ADCpreamp In general you get what you pay for The cheapest one of anything is almost never the right decision but the really highend audio stuff works in a realm of subsonic quality differences that my ears simply cant hear Once connected to my iMac I went to the systems Sound Preferences panel and selected the NAD as the input I did have to reboot the machine before it was recognized surprisingly After that output from the turntable was available to all the audio capture software I tested Make sure the turntable is resting on a solid desk and is not overly sensitive to footsteps in the room you dont want perceptible warbling in the audio when walking nearby if you have kids make sure they know to walk softly when daddys busy ripping You dont want to find out that some of your recordings were marred by vibrations months later after youve finished the process and ditched some of your LPs If youre in a room with a bouncy floor consider setting up your digistation in another room maybe with a laptop dedicated to the process Cleaning Your Vinyl Dust Noise The quality of my vinyl collection spans the gamut from old garage sale finds and handmedowns to impeccable 180gram vinyl from Mosaic and everything in between Most records that have been in my personal care have been sleeved and played with the cover down all their lives and so have fairly minimal dust Nonetheless virtually all of my records turned up some dust in the cleaning process Since youre shooting for archival quality here you want that stuff out of the grooves before encoding In addition depending on your environment your records probably have collected a static electrical charge that can affect the quality of the final output DAK has a great page full of electron microscope photographs showing LP surfaces before and after cleaning with their system If you dont think your records are dusty or that dust and static can affect recording quality give it a read Dust in record grooves as seen with an electron microscope Check the DAK page for more examples There are a number of vinyl cleaning systems out there from simple brushes to carbon microfibers to fullon record vacuuming systems I wanted to clean but wasnt going to get all mad scientist about it Found my old Discwasher brush from the 70s still in amazingly good shape after all this time but the fluid bottle was dry Using fluid is important not just for cleaning purposes but also to dampen or remove residual static charge A bit of searching turned up dozens of homebrew fluid recipes and I settled on this one 3 parts distilled water triple distilled deionized 1 part Isopropyl alcohol 91 lab grade A few drops of photographic wetting agent if possible Triton X100 Triton X110 or Triton X115 or Monolan 2000 not Kodak Photoflo which is reputed to leave a residue though used by some Recommended is 12 drops per gallon or 23 drops per litre though some use up to 8 drops per litre If you add too much the fluid gets sudsy on the record Not having easy access to Photoflo or its cousins I substituted a few drops of windshield wiper fluid as recommended at another site Sounds strange but because the dilution is so great figured a microamount of what is essentially Windexsoap couldnt hurt Because I had so many records to do I made almost a quart of the stuff in advance which I transfer to the little Discwasher squirt bottle as necessary Before recording each side I squirt two lines of fluid onto the leading edge of the brush and do a slow steady roll from wet side to dry side Results have been great and Ive pulled visible amounts of dust out of virtually LP side Ive cleaned Everything you can do to extract all the audio goodness possible out of your LPs is worth doing within reason Dont skip the cleaning process Pick the Right Digitizing Software Technically you could use any audio software capable of digitizing twotrack audio and outputting to MP3 or other formats But theres a heck of a lot more to the process than capturing audio Digitizing LPs is an entire workflow which involves Capturing Finding track boundariessplitting tracks Looking up metadata album title artist year genre individual track titles album art Cleaning up clicks and scratches Cleaning up other noise hum etc Outputting to multiple formats If your software cant help with every part of that process youre going to waste a lot of time doing things manually that should be semiautomatic You want software thats built specifically for the LPcassette digitization workflow And that means that software such as Audacity Garage Band and even Pro Tools are out of the running I cant stress this enough do not waste your time with generalpurpose audioediting software Use software purposebuilt for digitizing LPs Since LPs cant be looked up automatically in a database like iTunes and other ripping software does with CDs you need software that can make the track naming process easier I tried a few apps before settling on AlpineSofts Vinyl Studio A trial version came with the NAD preamp and I was blown away by how much easier it made things than the Audacitybased workflow I had been working with previously Available for both Windows and Mac VinylStudio does everything listed above and uses a tabbed interface to segment the workflow intuitively Its not gorgeous by modern Mac software standards but it does exactly what it claims to do and it does it really well Two features alone make it completely worth the 30 Integration with external track databases Tell VinylStudio the artist and album name and itll try to find that album in MusicBrainz Discogs and other open sourcecollaborative music databases Select one its search results and VinylStudio will use that data to suggest track breaks Which means you dont have to find all the track breaks yourself and you dont have to type in all the track names by hand If it cant find a match VinylStudio has a Scan for track breaks feature that will do its best to mark the quiet sections between tracks Youll still have to type in track names manually in that case but its still a time saver over finding track breaks manually More on this process later Startstop recording on needle updown One thing you dont want is to have to sit there babysitting the turntable waiting for one side to end so you can pause recording and start the other VinylStudio listens for needle down and up thresholds which means you can leave the room and trust that recording will have stopped when you return after dinner When you have hundreds of LPs to import this feature alone is worth the price of admission For albums that VinylStudio couldnt find in thirdparty databases I also got a bit of help getting everything tagged correctly with a 30 app called CoverScout which examines your collection for missing artwork then looks it up in Google Images Amazon and other services A bit pricey but I ended up with hundreds of albums without artwork and CoverScout helped me get them all decorated money well spent Of course I didnt try everything on the market I stopped looking when I found VinylStudio Got others to recommend Leave a note in the comments What to rip and what to toss and what to repurchase Because the process is so timeconsuming youll probably want to start by eliminating LPs that you simply dont care about anymore I personally made three piles Discard sell Encode then discard Encode then keep I was able to put about a quarter of my records in the Discard pile which reduced the workload quite a bit Since Im a romantic fool my plans for much of the second category were thwarted by nostalgia There are a lot of records I havent played for 20 years and that Im going to have nice clean digital versions of when done but that I still cant bring myself to discard Oscar Browns 1972 Fresh Yeah gotta keep that No idea why maybe because I love the cover LPs have a weird effect on me So the second In most cases the decision about what to repurchase was based on the condition of the LP If after digitization and cleaning I still wasnt happy with the sound Id delete what Id just digitized and go find a pristine copy at emusiccom or mp3amazoncom or every so often at iTunes though their prices are virtually always higher iTunes sells music encoded at 256kbps AAC equivalent to 320kbps MP3 while emusic and mp3amazon sell music at a fairly high VBR variable bit rate which means the bitrate goes up for complex passages and down for simple passages More on VBR One thing that surprised me was how often Id find records that I decided needed to be repurchased only to find that I couldnt I understand when an LP or CD goes out of print in physical format but in the digital world whats the point of anything being out of print Isnt that what the long tail is all about selling small amounts of old things because it basically costs nothing to do so For example one of my favorite Bill Evans records of all times Spring Leaves on FantasyMilestone with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian youll find dozens of Evans records on eMusic iTunes and mp3amazon but not this one Same deal with Public Images First Issue Funkadelics Uncle Jam Wants You and the Ink Spots Torch Time nowhere to be found at the online stores Youd think the online catalogs would have everything but licensing apparently gets in the way For these and many others I had no choice but to encode from LP and do my best to clean them up There were also records that presented interesting challenges like The Fugs It Crawled Into My Hand Honest which includes many tracks that flow into one another some as short as 10 seconds long Deciding where to place track breaks with these was a challenge The right thing to do is to let these flowtogether tracks remain as a single uninterrupted file But if you do that you end up with fewer total tracks than are shown on the albums track listing so the encoded set doesnt look complete And what are you going to name the flowtogether tracks I encountered everything and to just be happy owning the LPs nothing wrong with that right Fakes In the 70s I was a sucker for those KTEL and Ronco hit collections and I picked up quite a few more in the 80s for camp value But digitizing these was going to be a lot of extra manual work since I wasnt having luck looking them up in the Musicbrainz or other databases and all the artist names were different It was also going to involve figuring out all the overlap a lot of these records duplicate songs from each other So I decided to just repurchase a few of them and call it a day Easier said than done The original collections arent available at any of the services So I At first I thought it was just me but do a search like this and look for the collections with 1star ratings Click on those and read the customer comments something very weird is going on here and Im not sure what I wrote to Amazon and complained and they cheerfully refunded the money I was impressed by that but still not sure how to proceed with the KTELRonco collections Will probably just bite the bullet and do them manually I have not experienced this problem with any other purchased downloads just the 70s collections Picking an output format 3000yearold Egyptian papyrus is still readable today But 1990s word processing documents written in WordStar Images made on a 1978 Atari Video created on an early version of Windows Good luck finding a way to read any of those formats You see where Im going with this LPs were entrenched in our culture for decades and I expect it will be easy to find a turntable capable of playing any of the records made throughout the 20th century for many decades to come But file formats are somewhat transient As better ones come along the old ones slide into obsolescence I had two criteria in selecting an output file format I wanted the best quality possible while using a reasonable amount of disk space and I wanted to not feel paranoid that the file format would be obscure in 20 or 30 years Im creating an archive here and that means I want this stuff around for a very long time to come I want to be able to pass this music on to my son someday WAV and AIFF are the two main uncompressed formats and theyre so ubiquitous Im sure theyll be readable for decades to come But Ive got 500 records to encode here and Im not willing to commit that much disk space Yes storage is cheap but 500 records in an uncompressed format on top of the 200GBs of music Ive already stored could mean having to move to multiple drives which would be a pain to access as a single music library Formats like Apple Lossless ALAC and FLAC Free Lossless Codec save around 50 of the disk space over WAVAIFF Another factor that tipped the scales against lossless for me was the fact that dynamic range has been so squashed out by modern recording techniques Ive written about this before but the point is made well in in this cnet article The loudness wars of the 90s ruined all the quality gains digital music had made listening to a recording as a FLAC or Apple Lossless file cant undo dynamic range compression or overzealous equalization Its true that most of my LPs were originally recorded before the 1990s so this problem wont affect most of my stuff but I do have a number of more modern records for which it is a factor Bottom line is that I just cant perceive enough difference between FLACALAC and highbitrate MP3 to make the extra disk space and the prospect of obsolescence worth it Amongst lossy compressed formats AAC is the default codec used with iTunes its the audio layer of MPEG4 and has pretty deep penetration MP3 of course is the granddaddy of audio compression and is simply everywhere I have no doubt MP3s will be readable 50 years from now With AAC and MP3 quality goes up as bitrate goes up as file size goes up A 320kbps MP3 is to my ears completely indistinguishable from an ALAC or FLAC file and uses about a third of the space And using VBR levelzero compression gets you the same quality as 320kbps CBR VBRzero provided the best balance between audio quality file size and promise of permanence Your mileage may vary and I respect you no matter what you decide no format wars please For more on MP3 compression see CBR vs VBR below If youre willing to invest in a giant hard drive and have a way to keep it backed up offsite you have another option Save the original uncompressed version in a digital storage vault and put the compressed version in your regular library for daily use In VinylStudio you start with Recordings which should be in a highquality uncompressed format You then output your cleaned up audio at the end of the process So in essence this twoformat process is baked into the VinylStudio workflow if you want it to be But I didnt go that far I just kept Here are notes from my listening tests as I was deciding on an output format Bought a copy of Steely Dans Aja from the iTunes store 256kbps AAC for reference then digitized versions of the same album from LP with Old Shure cartridge uncorrected VBR0 MP3 pretty good but had slight hum New Ortofon cartridge uncorrected VBR0 MP3 more range less hum good purchase New Ortofon cartridge corrected VBR0 MP3 By corrected I mean with pops and scratches removed a process that cleans up the signal quite a bit but with a very very slight impact on dynamic range Of course the purchased AAC version sounded the cleanest being completely free of surface noise but the LP versions felt richer and more alive This test verified my decision that I wasnt losing anything noticeable by going with MP3 and gave me the opportunity to listen really closely to differences between the corrected and uncorrected versions This was a tough one There is a very slight and I mean very slight difference in tonal range postcorrection But at the same time the click reduction is dramatic and definitely did enhance the quality of the listening experience However every correction you make has a slight impact on overall audio quality Since every record is in different condition you may decide that the quality hit isnt In a second experiment the guinea pig was a 180gram audiophile recording of Sonny Rollins Way Out West a true treasure of jazz For this one I did four encodings with the new Ortofon cartridge ALAC corrected ALAC uncorrected MP3 VBR0 corrected MP3 VBR0 uncorrected I then dewaxed my ears plunked down in the sweet spot in the living room cranked it up and did my closest listening trying to decide whether I wanted to go corrected or uncorrected from here on out Same conclusions I like the clickcorrected audio better for most LPs Even when dealing with a really high quality LP in good physical condition clickreduction removes enough surface noise to enhance the overall experience Then I listened to the corrected ALAC and MP3 versions side by side queuing them up to the same passages for reference I could tell a difference but it was incredibly subtle The ALAC version was just the tiniest bit fuller very slightly more resonant But the difference was so subtle that it felt like splitting hairs If youre doing any of the things most people do while listening to music dancing working studying doing dishes having a dinner party there simply is no practical difference this is the opinion of my ears and is not a recommendation do your own tests Since the ALAC versions are more than twice as large filesizewise and because of my hesitancy about the futurecompatibility of ALAC I made my final decision Id be saving VBR0 MP3 clickcorrected audio from here on out Note VinylStudio can also do a wide array of rumble hum and other noise corrections Since I was already very happy with the sound and not wanting to mess with things further decided not to tweak those I just do a quick clickscan pass at the end of each recording and move on to the next CBR vs VBR LAME is the MP3 encoder used by VinylStudio and most other MP3 creation software these days and it rocks Today LAME is considered the best MP3 encoder at midhigh bitrates and at VBR mostly thanks to the dedicated work of its developers and the open source licensing model that allowed the project to tap into engineering resources from all around the world Both quality and speed improvements are still happening probably making LAME the only MP3 encoder still being actively developed MP3 files can be generated either at a Constant Bit Rate CBR which means that every second of audio has exactly the same number of bits or at Variable Bit Rate VBR which means more data is allocated to complex passages of audio and fewer bits to simpler passages Rather than shooting for a consistent bit rate VBR encoding shoots for a consistent level of quality which is what we really care about Ten years ago when I was writing MP3 The Definitive Guide for OReilly 320kbps CBR was considered the pinnacle of MP3 encoding techniques But VBR technology has improved steadily in the past decade and LAMEs handling of VBR is the best Its been tweaked and tested endlessly by audiophile engineers on equipment that costs more than your car VBR encoding lets you select a quality level set not in kilobits per second but with a target quality ranging from 0 to 9 where 0 is the best and 9 is the worst Level Zero VBR with the LAME encoder really is the best quality youre going to get with MP3 today and it is truly excellent at very reasonable file sizes roughly 2MBs per minute There actually is one level of quality beyond zero which LAME calls insane but as this chart illustrates the quality increase at the insane setting is negligible while the file size spikes upwards File size increases as quality increases but at a certain point you hit the wall of diminishing returns Establish a workflow With your gear dialed in and all the big decisions made youre ready to dive in Its going to take a bit of practice before things start to feel smooth the first few records you rip are going to involve some trial and error but pretty soon youll have a satisfying workflow happening Of course youll need to capture your records in realtime unlike CD ripping which can happen at up to 16x Add in the time to clean split and massage track breaks look up metadata and find album art and you can expect the process to take about VinylStudio includes excellently detailed documentation on every step of the process and you should definitely read up but heres my overview Create an Album Record Look up metadata Find track boundariessplit tracks Clean up pops and scratches Export can be done in batch mode When you first set up VinylStudio Ill call it VS from here on itll ask you to set a recording format This is not the same as the output format you can output to any format later in the game Its asking in which format you want to store the recordings internally These are the versions youll be splitting up into tracks declicking burning to CD if you swing that way and possibly storing in your longterm highfidelity storage vault I chose AIFF 44KHz 16 bit If youre going to export to MP3 later youll need to install the LAME encoder and tell VS where to find it the program does not come with its own MP3 encoder for copyright reasons Follow the directions carefully and make sure you get the recommended version other builds of LAME come with libraries in formats that VS cant use The VS interface is arranged in tabs that mirror the general workflow Start with the Record tab and enter the Artist and Album recording year and genre of the LP you want to start with This is needed for file and folder name creation your own reference and to give hints to the Lookup feature so it can find track names and lengths for you later on If you have an analog hookup youll need to pay attention to your recording levels Most digital interfaces dont allow altering the recording volume so just click the big ol Record button VS wont start recording immediately itll wait for the burst of noise generated by a needle drop so you can now spin up the turntable and clean your record When you physically lower the needle actual recording will begin About 10 seconds after the end of Side 1 recording will pause automatically Flip the record clean and click Continue Recording will resume when you drop the needle Again When recording is complete switch to the Split Tracks tab and click Lookup Track Listing Use the Database dropdown to tell VS where to look for metadata I have the best luck with MusicBrainz and Discogs but there are other options Keep in mind that all of the data in these databases is submitted by end users like you That means the album covers will all be shot differently and the track lengths and placements will be slightly different Since there are often many different pressings of the same album and because people startstop recording at different times expect to Click Import Album Art when you find the best cover shot and Use Selected Listing when you find the track list that best matches the record youre actually working with Then click Close If youre lucky all of the suggested track breaks will pretty much line up on the waveform with your actual record In some cases however the breaks the red lines will match at first then drift pretty badly If this happens you have three choices You can 1 Return to Lookup and try to find another listing that fits your actual tracks better or 2 Keep the listing and adjust it manually not difficult or 3 Click the Scan for Trackbreaks button and let VS autodetect the breaks The cool thing is if you try approach 3 the actual track Track breaks were found from a Discogs lookup for this double LP but theyre way off Manual track alignment is needed with virtually every album some more than others If your record couldnt be found in any of the lookup services things get a bit more manual Click Scan for Trackbreaks and let VS do its thing about 10 seconds later youll see breaks placed at the bestguess locations which are usually pretty good but youll still need to massage them Make sure VS shows as many tracks are on the actual album if not youll need to study the waveform even more closely to find the ones it missed Place the cursor where you want a break and hit CmdB to insert a new break When the number Even though youve gotten a big leg up by pulling in metadata from Discogs and Musicbrainz youll quickly realize that the timestamps for the track breaks retrieved are from other peoples recordings because people hit Record at different times theyre going to be off by anywhere from 220 seconds which means you still need to manually massage every single track break to get it right Some LPs are really difficult to split up For example my 1953 Folkways recording Leadbellys Last Sessions The bands tracks on the LP are divided into Band 1 Band 2 Band 3 etc But within each of those bands are multiple songs Band 1 actually consists of three different songs with no clear separator between them Should I split it across bands or try to find the song breaks which are tough to listen for and arent visible in the waveform hes talking in the background between the actual songs Id like to have tracks named for songs of course Now to finesse the breaks the most manual part of the process Start by zooming in close you can use either the icons or the scroll wheel on your mouse Note that each track break has a doubleended arrow at the top green for start red for end You can turn the breaks into gaps by holding down the Shift key and dragging the break line This creates a shaded area that will be excluded from the final output The general process is Zoom in drag the playhead the black line to the area you want to study and use the Spacebar to startstop playback Move the playhead to a position close to the end of a track hit Spacebar and listen until the track fades to absolute silence then hit Spacebar again to stop playback Drag the track break line to the to the black playhead line If you want to cut out some of the space so there arent long silences at the start and end of your output tracks hold down Shift while dragging the break line As you drag a shaded gap will become visible Hit Spacebar again and playback will resume from the end of the gap Adjust the in and 0utpoints for the gap until theres about a second of silence beforeafter detectable audio of the previousnext track Pictured The autodiscovered track break was off by about 15 seconds Fixing this was a fourstep process Listenview for the correct end of the previous track and put the playhead there Move the break line to the cursor line Shiftdrag the break line to create a gap Dial in the position for the end of the gap When your track splitting work is done the waveform should look something like this with some tracks being separated by gaps especially between album sides others not With splitting done its time to determine whether the recording will sound better with the audio cleaned up or not Since theres a small impact on audio quality with every correction you make you want to keep these to a minimum and only apply them on an asneeded basis In truth I found that most of my records had enough pops and crackles to make it worth applying click correction to most records Use your ears and use your judgement Go to the Cleanup tab and find the icon on the bottom toolbar that looks like a doubleended checkmark circled in red here which is the Scan for Clicks option VS will show a dialog with a bunch of sensitivity options These are welldocumented and all I can say is read and experiment I just took the defaults with most recordings Red circle The click removal tool Red square Toggle click protection on or off The process will take a minute or two depending on the speed of your computer Its pretty amazing how many clicks VS will find and remove dont be surprised to see the final count measured in thousands Once the process is complete its time to put on your ear goggles and listen carefully with click removal on and off Use the gamma symbol icon outlined with red square above to toggle Check both dense and sparse passages listening carefully for the impact of click removal on tonality and range The difference will be fairly subtle if you used VSs default settings but it is noticeable Again youll want to make this judgement on a perrecord basis If a record is in great shape youll be better off not using click protection Now youre ready to export Select the Save Tracks tab and youll see a list of all the albums youve recorded You can either export your albums to MP3 one at a time or do them in batches Im doing them in batches of around a dozen Dig around and youll find options to select the output format bit rate and whether to have albums added to iTunes Since the MP3 encoding process can take a while when batch processing this is something you might want to do once a week before going to bed When export is complete switch over to iTunes and select the Recently Added playlist Make sure all of the recently added tracks have solid metadata they should at this point and album art If you werent able to find album art in the Lookup stage now is the time to search for the album title in Google Images and save the highest quality album cover you can find to your desktop Select all the tracks in that album hit CmdI and drag the image from the Finder to the Artwork square in the iTunes info panel Alternatively you can try Pollux shareware app to retrieve missing metadata and cover art but I found I didnt need it much Keeping Archival Copies Maybe you want to save MP3s to your collection or to an iPod but also want to keep highdef AIFF or FLAC files around for posterity VinylStudio makes this twophase workflow natural by baking it into the process Initially you set up your recording preferences which refer to the nativeinternal recording format Go ahead and set this to some highresolution format These will become the Albums you record into VinylStudio while creating MP3s out of them comes as part of the export process Save Tracks If all you want out of the deal are MP3s you can always delete the Set internal Album recording format to AIFF Process a dozen or so albums skipping the Save Tracks export step Before going to bed one night go to Save Tracks select all and output to MP3 VBR0 and import to iTunes Delete all the saved Albums from the Save Tracks tab If I wanted to keep the highresolution AIFF originals in an archive I would simply skip step 4 and manually copy those AIFF files from the Finder to a longterm storage drive or service Thats it Youre digitalized baby Keep at it you should be able to complete 23 albums a day during the work week and more on the weekends I expect Ill be at it for the better part of 2011 before pillaging my friends collections for more Update end of 2011 There were around 500 LPs altogether but many I had since also acquired on CD or MP3 so didnt need to do those Also skipped quite a few that were just too surface noisy That left around 300 Heres a little screencast of the ones that actually needed digitizing I also got really anal about finding good cover art What I couldnt find on the net I photographed myself Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video

Range Report Springfield Armory EMP 4 By Dave Dolbee published on May 19 2016 in Firearms Range Reports I know there are a lot of fans of the 9mmparticularly after the FBI switched back to the 9mm and a ton of police departments followed suit On the other hand the 45 ACP has it followers led by the champions of the 1911 The solution How about a purpose built 1911 for the 9mm Its sacrilege to some and perfection to others but how it performs is all that really counts The Springfield Armory EMP 4 pistol is a winner and worthy of trusting your life to The EMP is not a new line for Springfield In fact Springfield launched the Enhanced Micro Pistol EMP about a decade ago The intent was to offer a subcompact 9mm in a 1911 configuration It was the perfect blend of caliber and the 1911 platform in a concealable packagethanks to the 3inch barrel The EMP was the perfect blend not because two popular elements were brought together but rather because the EMP was built from the ground up to be a 9mmunlike many 1911 45 designs that are merely converted to accommodate a smaller caliber To do this engineers had As was true with cell phones tablets and other technologies devices keep getting smaller and smaller until they become too small to be useful for many Pocket pistols suffered from this to a degree although there are a few pocket or micro pistols that I regularly employ as a BUG Back Up Gun For me the key is as a back up To ever need a defensive pistol means thing has to have gone very wrong To need a back up to a defensive pistol means things have gone horribly wrong That being said BUGs have their place and I The dual magazine holder is handy on the range or during minor competitions Enter Springfields new for 2016 EMP 4 Smaller than a full frame 5inch 1911 but more controllable and accurate than a 3inch model And because it is chambered for the 9mm the EMP 4 also enjoys a capacity advantage Speaking of capacity in addition to the 4inch barrel the EMP 4s grip has been extended by 5inch This provides just enough length to get all of your my anyway fingers on the grip plus it adds a round giving the EMP 4 a 101 capacity All totaled the EMP offers a familiar manual of arms and a fine balance for The Details As would be expected for a pistol of this size the EMP 4 is a singlestack singleaction semiauto pistol The design is pure John Browning inspired right down to the linkedbarrel design The slide is constructed from stainless steel while the frame cuts the needed weight to make it a viable carry option by utilizing a matte black hardanodized lightweight aluminum frame The result is a sleek and stylish twotone finish Target acquisition is quick and sight alignment sure thanks to the low profile dovetailed Novakstyle rear sight featuring dual white dots The front sight is an orange fiber optic infused blade that is well placed for durability The sight placement makes the most of the sight radius for increased accuracy potential The EMP comes standard with a lockable carry case three 10round magazines paddle holster dual magazine pouch cleaning brush rear sight tool and cable lock The EMP 4 features a 4inch stainless steel matchgrade bull barrel with a fully supported feed ramp There isnt a tactile loaded chamber indicator but the top of the chamber has a small witness hole that serves as a visual indicator The barrel is fitted at the muzzle with a removable barrel bushing The recoil assembly utilizes a fulllength steel guide rod which supports a single flatwire spring held in place by a reverse spring plug The aluminum frame follows traditional lines so it does not have an accessory rail The trigger consists of a long skeletonized aluminum matchgrade trigger with a serrated face and broke cleanly at 5 pounds 3 ounces The front strap of the grip frame features Springfields POSILOK reverseconeessentially a cross between dimpling and checkering that provides a solid hand purchase without requiring a flesh donation every time you fire it Adding to the POSILOK s grip enhancement are the Thinline Cocobolo wood grip panels that also feature a diamond pattern checkering The framemounted controls including the slide stop magazine release hammer and grip safety is all constructed of matte black 4140carbon steel The thumb safety is designed to be low profile and ambidextrous for concealed carry The magazine release button is textured and otherwise standard fare From the back the EMP 4 utilizes an extended beavertail grip safety with memory bump to enhance grip consistency The EMP 4 comes standard with three 10round blued steel magazines that are manufactured by MecGar in Italy and feature a metallic follower and Slam Pad polymer base plate It also has a quality hard case At 10 yards the EMP 4 outshot the author regularly shooting groups such as these Overall the fit and finish on the EMP was beyond excellent In fact it borders custom grade On the Range Concealed carry may lead to last line of defense so many prefer selfdefense loads rated as P I am normally hesitant to shoot these from a compact pistol so I started with a variety of loads ranging from range ammo such as Winchester white box and worked through 115 124 and finally 147grain loads The EMPs balance feel and textured grip left little doubt when I grabbed the first of the P loads The hotter the load the more you are going to feel the snap of the recoil with any pistol and the more wear you are going to The Springfield Armory EMP 4 pistol is a winner and worthy of trusting your life to It is accurate enough to confidently defend yourself at the outer limits of selfdefense ranges but still small and sleek enough to comfortable conceal and carry Best of all for a fan of the 9mm such as myself you can afford plenty of ammunition which will lead to longer and more frequent range sessions However for those looking for something that pushes a bigger pea The EMP 4 will soon be offered in 40 SW The look and more importantly feel of the EMP 4 is all 1911 with excellent balance and controls Specifications Manufacturer Springfield Armory Model EMP 4 PI9211LP Action SingleAction SemiAuto1911 Caliber

Aug 12 First Spin 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye and Dodge Challenger RT Scat Pack Comments Written by Rick Cotta in Coupes Dodge Engines Fastest First Spin New Review SportyPerformance Cars 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody left and RT Scat Pack Widebody You had to figure this was coming After setting the record books ablaze last year with the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon and keeping its promise that it would be a oneyearonly model Dodge unveiled a more streetable version of much the same car for 2019 Plus it carried over some of the Demons dragracing technology to a more budgetpriced model aimed at well drag racing Certainly theres an allure to an 800 horsepower car that can do the 14mile in under 10 seconds but the Demon not only sacrificed some streetability to achieve those numbers but it cost nearly 90000 and was hard to get even for that So Dodge followed it up with a Challenger sporting nearly the same power but with more of an everyday focus and a much lower price Although Challengers aimed at such had long been strong performers Dodge really upped the ante for 2015 with the debut of the SRT Hellcat which made great waves at the time with its 707horsepower supercharged engine And though the model continued for 2018 it was somewhat overshadowed at least in terms of press coverage by the Demon But not only does the Hellcat return for 2019 with 10 more horsepower now 717 its price has been dropped by about 5000 to start at 58650 61745 after destination and gasguzzler tax and its offered with either a 6speed manual transmission or 8speed automatic Furthermore its joined by a Redeye variant carrying an only slightly detuned version of the Demons engine rated at 797 horsepower which comes in at 11 grand more Both models get a new dualsnorkel hood reminiscent of those offered on the original early70s Challengers and both are available in Widebody form that adds a sport suspension and fender flares covering wider wheels and tires a combination said to cut lap times and provide a bit more traction during acceleration Both Bee fender badges now face forward on the 2019 Dodge Challenger RT Scat Packs But if your tastes run more to under50grand machines Dodge has you covered Next step down the line is the RT Scat Pack and theres now more than one The base model starts at 38995 40390 with destination an extra 1000 with the manual transmissions gasguzzler tax and features a 485horsepower 64liter Hemi V8 392 cubic inches for you Old School sorts offered with either a 6speed manual or 8speed automatic transmission Its also available in Widebody form with wider wheels and tires fender flares stiffer adaptivedamping suspension integrated front splitter below the bumper and a rear spoiler from the Hellcat model all for an extra 6000 But added for 2019 is a new RT Scat Pack 1320 model an upgrade that costs 3995 thats specifically intended for grassroots drag racers 2019 Dodge Challenger RT Scat Pack 1320 Angry Bee fender badge The name plays off the fact that theres 1320 feet in a 14mile It comes with a host of features many previously fitted to the likewise dragoriented Demon including Nexen 20inch drag radials Adaptive Dampening Suspension with Drag Mode TransBrake Torque Reserve and heavyduty half shafts It also gets unique Angry Bee badges similar to the returning Bee badges found on other Scat Pack models The 1320 comes only in narrow body form for better highspeed aerodynamics with the 8speed automatic Furthermore it comes standard with just a driver seat which Dodge says cuts 114 lbs off the total though a front passenger seat and rear seat can be added for 1 each as was the case with the Demon Dodge claims these modifications cut about 3 seconds from both the 060 and 14mile times Standard interior configuration of the 2019 Dodge Challenger RT Scat Pack 1320 has drivers seat only to help reduce weight by approximately 114 pounds front passenger seat and rear seat are available individually as 1 options Future Collectibles 20172018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 The base model RT Scat Pack is an allaround performer with the 64liter V8 providing strong linear power We drove both manual and automatictransmission versions of Widebody variants and both impressed the manual has a slick shifter and easytomodulate clutch while the automatic kicked down quickly when the throttle was stabbed at speed for great passing response From there one can fork to either the acceleration or handling branch of the performance spectrum The 1320 is aimed at providing optimal offtheline grip and acceleration for drag racing while the Widebody versions lean toward higher cornering capability Indeed we drove the Widebodys on a racetrack Club Motorsports in beautiful Tamworth NH and found the car to be very grippy and balanced at speed Yet it also rode quite comfortably on the ride up there so these are very capable yet livable performance vehicles with enough passenger and cargo space and available amenities to make them suitable for everyday That also holds for the Hellcat Redeye Widebodys we drove though their extra 312 horsepower and the extra weight needed to produce it makes for a decidedly more exciting experience in more ways than one Although shrunk from 64 to 62 liters the Hellcats engine adds a supercharger that boosts power in all speed ranges and unlike a turbocharger delivers it instantly and in very linear fashion But that means an engine that was very strong before now delivers brutal power at the touch of the throttle and particularly if you choose to turn off the various tractionaiding nannies that can lead you into some dicey situations Indeed stories abound of Hellcats being wrecked during their first day of ownership by people who didnt respect what 700 horses can do and how quickly they can 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye fender badge What all this means on the racetrack and curvy roads is that the Hellcat Redeye Widebodys are touchier than the Scat Packs partly because they carry more weight over their front wheels added largely by the supercharger and its associated plumbing while also being able to apply more power to the rears That means corners have to be approached a bit more slowly and exited more carefully as simply flooring the throttle if the front wheels arent straight will send the back ones sideways in a notsograceful pirouette something several black curvy lines on corner exits illustrated But entering the Speaking of horsepower its simply amazing that 60 grand will buy you 717 worth another 11 grand bringing 797 But for most folks paring the ante down by 20000 still nets you 485 and on the street that should be plenty enough for anyone Which isnt to say I dont desperately want a Redeye 2019 Dodge Challenger

Home Growing FenceFriendly Vines Dos and Donts Growing FenceFriendly Vines Dos and Donts Posted on July 17 2017 Has your fence already been damaged by vegetation Are you in the market for a new one If you live near West Chester PA and the Delaware Valley youre in luck Request a quote for professional fence installation A structure covered in vines is one of the most classic and beautiful features you can add to your backyard Vines climbing a fence not only enhance aesthetic value but make your yard more private Unfortunately vines can be as destructive as they are beautiful Theyre resourceful plants that crawl up structures in order to soak up as much sun as they can and sometimes they hold on tight and bring the structure down You need to make sure your fence is suitable for vines and also that youve chosen a vine that wont cause damage So if your dreams dos and donts to consider before growing vines on your backyard fence Vines that Arent FenceFriendly The types of vines that are most likely to be unfriendly to your fence and your outdoor living space are fastgrowing woody vines and invasive species of vines Though many of these are beautiful such as hydrangea or English ivy they can destroy your fence and shouldnt even come near it Woody Vines Some woody vines are favorites of gardeners for good reason Many of them like wisteria or trumpet vine bloom with bright fragrant flowers that attract hummingbirds or butterflies However when these vines begin to spread over your wooden fences surface they hold excess moisture against the wood This opens the door for rot as well as fungus bugs and other hazards that can wreak havoc on your fence The wood part of the woody vines anatomy can also cause a problem the vines strong wooden roots can get between the slats of a wooden fence or into existing cracks and Invasive Species Many a hapless homeowner has introduced a beautiful vine to their fence and a short time later they ended up fighting an ongoing war with a vine that turned out to be a member of an invasive species Invasive species of vines are often related to native species like American bittersweets relative oriental bittersweet These unwelcome cousins of naturallyoccurring vines have been known to overtake entire geographic regions choking out ecosystems and individual gardens alike Invasive species like chocolate vine English ivy wintercreeper and Japanese honeysuckle pose a hazard not only to the environment but to the appearance of your All of the problems that come with growing woody vines on your fence the moisture and accompanying structural damage are compounded by invasive species tendencies to grow rapidly on every inch of available space This includes your fence lawn other plants and trees and even your house if left completely unchecked Once they take hold of your yard its likely that the only way to get rid of an invasive species is with a series of controlled burns and applications of vinekilling chemicals both of which are likely to damage to the beloved plants and trees you actually want to FenceFriendly Vines The type of fence you own determines the type of vine you can safely grow on it Even the gentlest vines hold moisture against the parts of your wooden fence they touch However aluminum and vinyl fences respond well to most types of vines since they are more durable and less vulnerable to environmental damage than wooden fences For Wooden Fences If you have a wooden fence most species of vines are likely to be treacherous to your fences longevity The rotting cracking twisting and other structural damage that vines can cause to your wooden fence mean that most species should be kept away The safest vines for wooden fences are annual herbaceous nonwoody vines These vines stems can wrap around your wooden fence but wont cause the types of structural damage that woody vines will You can guide these vines to grow around fence posts or along your fences upper support beams which will provide them with plenty of light while keeping them away from your fences more vulnerable slats Though they should be removed at the end of the growing season annual vines like morning glory moonflower sweet pea and climbing nasturtium all work well with wooden fences These plants are airier than most woody vines which minimizes any moisture trapped between the plant and the fence These vines grow readily from seed and can reach lengths of 10 to 15 feet at the peak of the season They do not provide much privacy but they do produce flowers that are vibrant in color and sweet in fragrance brightening up your summer garden and attracting butterflies and birds Gardeners who like to vary their planting from year to year will enjoy the opportunity to plant new herbaceous vines each growing season For Vinyl Fences Vinyl fences which are made of hardy weatherresistant material can withstand almost anything so the structural concerns that wooden fence owners have about growing vines on their fences mostly do not apply to vinyl fences Because of their durability vinyl fences are ideal for homeowners who want their climbing vines to enhance the privacy of their spaces Coral honeysuckle or clematis are perennial vines that climb vinyl fences readily These plants provide a lot of coverage in a short period of time and they can usually span the height of your fence within a single growing season Though even the strongmantype woody vines will have little structural effect on your vinyl fence the plant can still trap moisture against your fence and with moisture comes a whole host of organisms from algae to bugs Thankfully algae growth on your vinyl fence is no big deal Vinyl is a nonporous surface that does not permit staining making it easy to clean your vinyl fence Bugs on the other hand could pose a problem The moisture delicious plant matter and tough structure of a bushy vine may seem like a courteous invitation for bugs looking to homestead placing the other members of your garden in danger Make sure to check on what bugs if any are fans of your chosen vine and take the proper steps against bug infestation to keep the rest of your outdoor space safe For Aluminum Fences Aluminum fences are perhaps the most readilybeautified of all fences Their durability and openlattice framework provide an excellent foundation for a living fence Wisteria climbing hydrangea rambling roses and other heavy strong woody vines that might overwhelm other fences are no match for aluminum which withstands moisture and resists rust Even grapevines grow enthusiastically on aluminum fences These plants can provide full coverage within a few growing seasons adding intense color and aroma to your space The thorny stalks of some vines like bougainvillea might even further discourage intruders Quick Tips for Growing Vines Visit a plant nursery Taking cuttings of random pretty vines from wooded areas may leave you quickly rueing your decision and even your very existence if the vines turn out to be invasive Plant nurseries do not frequently cultivate invasive species since theyre often banned from sale by state governments However even vines not considered invasive can overwhelm you and your garden Nursery staff can provide you with a wealth of information about how you can ensure your chosen vine stays under control Your vines have needs too Carefully research your vines sunlight space and soil requirements While some vines are relatively lowmaintenance its often said that some vines sleep then creep then leap an apt descriptor of how it may take several growing seasons of work to help your vine reach its fullest potential Consider your alternatives If you have a wooden fence but are deadset on filling your garden with climbing hydrangea or wisteria look into other methods of introducing these plants into your space without destroying your fence Arbors and trellises often provide a good structure for flowering vines to cling to and allow you to keep your vines growth in check Strategically placing these structures can also help you enhance privacy Many people place a series of posts a few feet inside their
