Subject:Just Getting Started... Posted by: Tom_Williams Date:4/12/1999 6:55:39 AM 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
