That's what I did with all my music before I moved back to my house to continue studying with ou guys! All my CDs & vinyl got transferred to my laptop! Less hassle! Not as impressive as watching a wall full of them but for practicality, it wins!
8:55 Input level is too high. That's what the little knob at 12 o'clock to the left of the meters are for. You can see the clipped tops of the peaks when the recorded track is dragged up to the player. Other than that, good tutorial.
At 5:35 he finally starts ... i hope ... And nope ... Downloading Rekordbox ... If the title is "How To Rip Vinyl Onto Rekordbox" I presume you already have that software installed :-/ At 7:15 perhaps ?
Hi! First of all, let me tell u that your channel is very helpful.So...I would like to explain an issue I have recently noticed while I'm ripping my vinyls with Rekordbox.My stuff consists in a Pioneer DJM850 mixer (and 2 cdjs850, not relevating) and a brand new Pioneer PLX500 turntable, which I use to digitalize vinyls.I have tried all connection ways (turntable-pc via usb, and turntable-mixer-pc with mixer's usb) and I have obtained the same results...One channel, concretly left, sounds a little bit louder than right one...as I can see in your video when u shows rekordbox screen while recording, note that the signal provided for both channels is not the same...Is it really a problem or is my brain playing tricks on me????After ripping, I use Audacity in order to see the detailed waveform and convert the file into mp3 320 to use with cdjs...and here is the point where I feel annoyed and sad...because as I said before...the left channel waveform is "bigger" than right...not so much...+1db more or less...but enough to drive me in this way...This thing happens setting the mixer in "stereo mode"...in "mono" it doesn't happen...but not same sound for me...and for everybody I suposse...I also tried to change RCA connections and the problem came to the opossite channel...Please...somebody help me or give me some advices or ideas about this...
Hey, glad you're liking the channel! It could be an issue with your turntable's needle, cartridge, or cables :) maybe one of the mixer channels are also faulty? Worth looking into one of those as a possible fault
Thanks a lot for your answer. The turntable is completely new...same for the mixer (6 months) I made different tests connecting it to channels one and four (which have phono imputs)...changing the poors rca cables that plx has included...and same results...
Hello there do you know if the Dual DTJ USB DJ Turntable converts digitally through Rekordbox. I know it has a USB output but not sure if it’ll work through rekordbox to convert?
Do I need to have speakers plugged into the record player in order for me to hear it? I have a plx-500-k with some good speakers but when I wanna rip some vinyl the computer's in the other room and I don't want to have to lug the turntable and speakers back and forth. Is there anyway I can make the output the computer speakers? thank you
Should I do it this way - or just record with Audacity and import the file then into Rekordbox? (I also would play the recorded stuff on cdjs afterwards...)
Can I use the XDJ-RX2 as interface to play digital tracks in my turntables? I used to have a Traktor setup with the turntables connected to an interface and my laptop. Thank you.
Can’t seem to get mine to work I have a vest tax PMC 07 pro, when I go into the settings the only options that he gives me for input is the rekordbox sound card nothing else. Support page for this product is also poor. And PIONEER can help you since they don’t do the software portion of it
Isn´t working out for me. I have a Denon record player with RCA Phono output and I have tried to connect it up to my laptop using the 3.5 jack audio input (I have an adapter but no usb adapter), I have also tried to connect the record player up through my Vestax VCI-400 controller and through the usb to my laptop and no luck there either. Should I get a usb adapter? Which way is able to keep the quality of the music? Directly through USB or through a controller? Thanks!
Does the Vestax have phono inputs? From looking at it, I'm not sure it does. You will need to buy some sort of interface, so that depends on your budget. The cheapest solution would be the Behringer UCA-222. I have one and it's so simple to use. :-)
Can this same principle work on DDJ 1000? To convert vinyl to MP3? And also is it possible to do live Vinyl mix (2 x 1210 turntables) and record the whole set in rekordbox? Please help!
Hi there, I'm using a PLX-500 connected to a preamp with phonos, and then connected to DDJ-RX's. I've managed to get it to record, however the sound is really distorted. Any ideas about why this might be? Cheers
Could be because you switched the PLX-500 to "Line" output, but when you plugged it into the DDJ-RX's inputs you have "Phono" selected :) Check your PLX-500: the switch should be set to "Phono" and then check your DDJ-RX's inputs and make sure they are set to Phono as well.
The sound of my vinyl-recordings (plx-500, direct usb: turntable to laptop) are really bad/trippy quality (and lot faster than the original), any idea what's the problem? cheers
I seem to be having an issue, I used to be able to rip vinyl easily with no problems through the USB on my plx-500 but recently it's not working. The time runs twice as fast on the rekordbox recording function and the sound quality is poor and seems muffled. Any ideas?
Sounds like a software issue :) I'd try going to Pioneer DJ and writing up a support ticket, they may be able to give you an answer as it's something that's more technical -Joey
+Digital DJ Tips apparently it's an issue with the latest version of rekordbox, they told me to download the previous version and now it's working again!
Are you ever see or hear a real rip from an audiophile? is not as simple like a low budget turntable connected by usb to a computer... is really more than that and is not easy, also is expensive. I don't want sound like asshole but is the true. Here's a couple of rings from some audiophile rippers that I know: ONE: VPI TNT Mark IV Turntable with VPI 300 RPM Motor and Flywheel Phoenix Engineering Eagle PSU Phoenix Engineering RoadRunner Tachometer Eminent Technology ET-2.5 Air Bearing Linear Tonearm Audio-Technica AT33PTG/II Dual Moving Coil Cartridge Musical Surroundings Nova Phonomena Battery Powered Phono Preamp Lavry AD11 external USB 2.0 ADC TWO: Hannl”limited” Record Cleaning Machine with Rotating Brush TT: Bergmann Audio “Magne” Tonearm: Bergmann Magne (tangential air-bearing tonearm) Cartridge: Transfiguration Phönix S Amp: MFE Tube One SE Interconnects: High Tunes “Explorer CMP WBT” Tascam UH-7000 AC connects by Goldkabel Speed verifying with “Platter Speed” from Dr. Feickert Wavelab 8 Elements recording software (recording & manual click removal)
it's nearly 2020, why are we still talking about Vinyls. Just download the collection from a pool. I remember ripping all my CDs many years ago, it's a long painful process and not all files were automatically tagged.
Agreed, but some folks like the option of digitising rare pieces that they may have from a long way back :) Rekordbox has that option at least. But I hear you - didn't enjoy transferring tapes and CDs to miniDisc either (remember those? Man that was tiring!) - Joey
