hi, im placing this under newbie because its a very newbie topic and dont know where else to place it.
i did leacve a intro on the intro thread to let people know my situation and how it affects my making music,but i am non verbal classic autistic,mildly intelectualy disabled and severely epileptic among other things and its took me years to get to this stage of making music again as epilepsy has completely damaged my short term and working memory,ive also just got back into collecting vinyls, i still have my decks and active speakers-whether they work or not is another thing,the mixer was broke so i am currently making an art project out of it as it gave me years of memories.
my question i need to ask is what kind of set up do i need to record my tons of vinyl to one of my external hard drives- i will purely be collecting and cateloguing my music.i have lots of things planned, i am planning on starting a radio station aimed at other disabled people at some point in the near future and im getting a PPL licence before doing that- i already have a server i can run shoutcast off and open source software for mixing,ive got it all planned.
i was wondering if its possible to record from turntable to laptop like this:
1 X pioneer DJ PLX-500-K direct drive and hook it straight up to the laptop via USB cable,or do i have to have a mixer,an amp and speakers?
i dont want to hear it out loud as i live in a care facility and my own space is tiny, i also woud prefer just having 1 turntable and the laptop if its at all possible due to space again.
i hope i managed to get that across correctly, thanks and cheers to anyone who reads or replies to this.
