Step 2: stereo recording
Most of the answers to your questions will be solved by going into your computers audio set up. In windows you right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar. You can then set the recording levels correctly.
How many grooves are on a typical 45 rpm record?
The question could be answered easily if records had a fixed groove pitch. However, they use a variable pitch so that loud passages do not overcut into softer passages. According to the RIAA Bulletin No.E4 of 1963, a 7" 45 r.p.m. record should have between 16 to 32 grooves-per-inch.
Wurlitzer 1015
It will require a phono preamp...designed for a magnetic phone cartridge that takes into account the RIAA rolloff so you don't lose bass response. A mic preamp won't work properly.
Where can I get an old vinyl recording repaired and converted
yes it can be done i have done this many time for many people... you will need to find someone who knows what they are doing with delecate vinyl... you could either locate a specialist on the web who will be able to take the track off the record and remaster it before it goes on the cd taking out all the clicks and cracks sounds and any imperfections in the sound caused by the damaged vinyl. this option could be expensive. Just type "vinyl to cd services" in google and the search should yeal what you are looking for.
or...
you could ask any good dj/bedroom dj you know or a friend might know to do it for you, as any good dj will know how to treat a damaged record and will certainly be able to transfer on to cd for you. although... depending on the dj's skill level he may not be able to remove any click sounds or audible imperfections? throw him a tenner and supply the cd im sure he will be happy to help!
Bad sound quality
You cannot connect the turntable via a microphone port. You need to connect via a USB port. If you have not got a USB port to connect it as the others are in use, you can buy an extension USB socket which, will allow you to put more devices via one USB port.
Not all of the sound/music is being transferred
I know this is an old post, an I dont' have a solution yet, but t seems the same problem as on my Ion USB recorder - One of the input channels is not working. Like you, I found one of my music tracks not plying right - there was only the instrumental and no vocal. When I experimented, and changed round the jacks on the cable coming from the turntable (red and white plugs), I then got only vocals and no instrumental. Obviously one of the input sockets on the USB recorder is no longer working (I already checked the turntable and cable itself by playing back he same track with both stereo channels through my amplifier). You can either get the item replaced if its still under guarantee, or fix it yourself, if you have the necessary skills, neither of which apply to me.
Just switched my needle on an ION Profile LP but no sound will come out of my speakers.
Disconect the wires to the cartridge. With the amp on touch each wire one at a time with your finger. You should hear on Two wires a buzz- one for each channel. If you do then the cartridge has failed. If you don't then there's either a bad connection to your amp, or the magnetic cartridge pre-amp inside the amp has failed. This will not effect any other part of the amp.
Got record and it is
Hi, maybe the record is worn and that's why the sound is low. By using third party audio editing software (i.e. cool edit [paid] or audacity [free]) you can improve quality and volume of digital sound.
When recording i hear the music,but i do not see
it depends on which program you are sing but alot of times you need to acsess the settings and allow the turn table to be used in the program. so that the codec can be translated into the program
