I now realize that a lot of this site is for the musician & live recording, but my deal is 78rpm records to CD. Do have a mic & my son has been rock & roll bass guitar for a number of years. So this is the corner of the front room that has the gear. ASUS laptop with Windows 7 & Adobe 3.0 (soon...

This is something that I have been a bit perplexed about. My receiver/amp has high and low pass filter switches along with a set of equalizer slider controls. Now, in my mind as I play a record(78rpm) I'll adjust these controls to have the best audio output available to listen to the record in...

As I make the BIG jump into this, I discover an issue with my work in Adobe Audition 3/ASUS laptop with Windows 7. I am working with a rebuilt DUAL 1002F turntable built between 1950-54 as the player for 78rpm records that date as early as 1905 thru the 30s &40s records.The path is like...

Walked out of the Sears & Roebuck store this afternoon with one of these gems all for $79.99! It's an ION Quick Play Flash that has all 3 speeds. In my case I need to use it for old 78s. the player can be connected to an amp with RCA connects or be connected to a computer with USB. It also has a...

New acquisition from retired military/electronics guy. Did tell me it had been in storage for quite a while. So will go through the clean-up, multimeter check, poke around it routine before I put it to use. Doing web searches for manuals, schematics, etc as I picked up other gear too. Question>...

OK, this is how it went. I recorded several songs onto a reel-to-reel tape recorder. Work flow went like this....TEAC 3400 reel-to-reel>Tascam MK122 PC interface>Adobe Audition 3.0>finished CD(or so I thought). The CD would play at home in my player, would play in my laptop. Then I went to the...

My deal at getting into home recording is to preserve and to be able to play a collection of 78s that I know date back to 1906. I am working with an ASUS laptop/Windows 7/Adobe Audition 3/Tascam MK 144 PC interface/ Shure 57B mic. At the other end of this lineup, I am using a mid 1920s Brunswick...
