hi,no you cant to it
vinyl has a diffreant mastering work than CD
But... if you are realy want to convert it ,you can give it to sound engnire that will try to do this convert
coz we have this kinde of tech to make it sound clear
& good
but remmbear that the results wont be good as CD
you can do it if you have the original wav(without mastering)

yes.....play it off a turntable, take the output n shove it in the soundcard input. record into cubase n then use ur engineering skills to clean it..n make it sound to ur taste. im assuming that if you dont have the equipment, ull take it to a studio near you. |

weird, my post in this thread got deleted 
I'm wondering about the quality issues in the conversion. For example, how essential is it to have a turntable with a digital out? Obviously the less number of times it goes through a set of RCAs the better, but how much does it affect the sound?
Also, is there much sound quality difference between the phono-ins of different mixers?

Just use Steinberg's Clean, or any other audio editor with basic effects. Basically what you need is declicking, dehissing and/or denoising. There is no basic rule for that coz it depends on the vinyl quality, the needle condition, the turntables's output, even the cable, so just experiment. Most probably you will need to apply some EQ as well.

I think people are getting a bit carried away here. Simply recording the turntable through a good mixer and input, will yield great results, good enough to play out at least.
If the equipment is fine and the record is new, it'll sound fine.

I agree with 14-year old e-tard, what the point of vinyl then if no bit of noise coming from it. Polishing it will only damage.
Anyway it will still sound vinyl at the end because there is no high end so do not use it as reference or playback as Dj. "there once was a lesbian from Cancun

hmm.. well the track I have is only available on vinyl, but I'm not playing vinyl at gigs, especially not this one (it cost me $180 for one track), so I have to play the recorded version
it sounds fine raw, I was just wondering if there's a good way to clean up the pops. Specifically, if I clean it up before normalising it, will it cause more damage than if I clean it up afterwards? Of course I will try a few different things, just seeking some advice...

Normalization basically is raising volume up, so highest peak will end close to 0dB, think yourself does volume increase affects any other process?

no, the ratio of noise to signal already in the recording will remain the same, but I don't know whether removing that noise is easier at lower volumes or not.. I'm guessing not
anyway, I will prob'ly just play it raw / just normalised
it sounds alright...

You had answered yourself! It doesn't matter what volume you work at since noise level change is equal to peak level change once you normalize.
Also the idea of removing nothing is much better.
