Sounds Cards For LP Recording
When using your PC to store the original recordings from your LPs, the features of the sound card in your PC is a key factor in determining the ultimate quality of the sound that is stored. Most PC sound cards are promoted in terms of their sound output and not as much emphasis placed on the input features. Here are the key technical aspects that you will want to look for in a PC sound card for your Vinyl to CD conversion needs.
All sound cards have output jacks for external speaker connections . Most PC sounds cards will have additional ports for other external components such as surround sound, MIDI devices, microphones, and other input devices. It may be called 'line-in' or 'aux-in' or by other lables, but this is where we want to focus out attention.. You will want to make sure that the card has one or more LINE IN ports capable of capturing the left and right stereo signals independently. The device driver for the card should let your sound capturing software to adjust the input levels of the left and right channels independently. Don't worry if there is only one port just as long as the port is stereo and your jack is stereo at both ends.. Do not attempt to use the microphone port as a line in port although your jack will probably work in it. Micropgone inputs are single-channel inputs (mono, not stereo) which is not effective for capturing music..
The bit depth of the line-in port determines how much information is stored in a single slice of digital sound information. Most PC sound cards support a 16-bit depth which is the standard for todays CD recordings. 16-bits covers the full spectrum of frequencies that the human ear can hear. However for the audiophile, it is not enough to pick up just those frequencies. We want all of the sound that was available on the original analog recording. The high and low frequencies chopped out of todays 16-bit digital recordings take away from the richness of the music.. It is those omitted frequencies that contribute to harmonics and over-tones which give he music its depth. Beware that a lot of cards advertised as 24-bit my be for the output feature only. Make sure that the sound card you are going to use for vinyl capturing supports a 24-bit depth for LINE-IN recording.
The sample rate determines how many slices of sound data are captured per second. A standard music CD supports sample rates of 44.1K or 48K. A regular CD player is not capable of handling a higher sample rate. The data storage capacity of a standard compact disc would prohibit you from storing an entire LP at a higher sample rate. Why consider recording at a higher quality than your current players can hande?? Because the technology is evolving. An example of this is the Super Audio CDs which store 10 times more than standard CDs and support a much higher sample rate.!!! The true audiophile will want to store the original sound so that it is available when the technology eventually evolves.. In the mean time, if you wish to playback recordings that were captured at a higher sample rate than your hardware can playback, the original source file can be used to create a scaled-back version that is supported, but you will still have your original file or recording for the future. PC Sound cards are available that support bit rates of up to 192K.
