Subject:Just Getting Started... Posted by: Tom_Williams Date:4/12/1999 6:39:29 AM Want to record my album collection onto CD for preservation.

It will simplify things such as marking the separate tracks and so forth. There may be a way to do this in SF but I never looked for it, since CD Architect makes it so easy!

Want to record my album collection onto CD for preservation.

Appears SF will do this (with optional Vinyl Restoration plug-in), but just wanted to make sure.

Will I need anything add'l to my sound card, PC and the SF software? (either required or
recommended optional components)

Will I be able to record the songs as individual entities as opposed to just recording an entire
side of an LP? I'd like to have these individually indexed/accessible on the CD like a regular
digital recording. If I can do this, is it fairly automated?

I suspect I would not get opposing views, but are there other ways to do this without SF, either
PC-based or outboard via AD converters and such? Just looking for plusses and minuses of
alternate ways of doing this without needlessly bouncing back/forth through the A/D conversion
more than once.

Thank you,

Tom
