a false (and foolish) assumption is that everything on ebay is used

Money making scheme:

 

Purchased one of these bad boys:

 

http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?module...CFcJd4wodhUSRuQ

 

got tons of vinyl, a lot of it on the rare-ish side, so thought I'd get ot all backed up on to a hardrive and flog the lot for ££££s ;)

 

 

However,

 

It is currently annhilating "headache" by Frank Black; the recording is beyond tinny with no depth whatsover and the stylus is just scratching the fuck out of my vinyl making the recording barely listenable ;)

 

I realise I've gone for the cheapest possible option, has anyone else given this a go and acheived good quality recordings?...if so what kit did you use? Cheers.....

have you still got a turntable? (must have a headphones socket).

 

1. get audacity off the net. its free so dont worry

2. run a lead from your headphone socket to your pc mic input (small jackplug)

3. run audacity. go into project and select 'new stereo track'

4. start the record and press the record button in audacity.(make sure the input level is ok)

5. do the same for side B

 

you'll have to split the tracks manually but its a piece of piss to do. make sure you use the 'export as Mp3' option when saving the individual track.

 

hope this helps

 

edit: just remembered you'll also need to download something called the 'LAME mp3 encoder'. it explains how to do it on the audacity site. (iirc)

Loads of walking locally without going there dude ;)

 

 

Never done much walking round here so some suggestions would be nice, especially if you consider I will have a five year old in tow.

Yep. Ebays ideal for this sort of thing. Cant see any problem with it and would rather waste five pounds than 70 or more only to find out its not for me (as the bloke selling them did).

 

If I go ice skating I wear shoes others have worn, same if I go bowling some deffo no hang ups here for me.

Very true. Even the likes of thomson holidays and Argos have their own ebay shops. However used products are where you get the best bargains.

 

I once got a £3,500 fenwicks 3str and 2 str for £100. The blokes wife had bought them as her pride and joy 6 months earlier and then ran off with another fella so these were first to go.
