Update - American Audio TT Record 192 KBPS Upgrade!

[feedyourspeakers]

I agree with brian, but for the 320 crowd (like me lol) I would have to rip them more manually. I have a creative sound blaster Xfi that allows me to record in at 96k/24bit, then once I have the uncompressed wave, I rip that to a 320 mp3 with LAME mp3 encoder. Honestly it doesn't get any better sounding than that unless you rip to a lossless format for the uber audiophiles.

Anyone know why this was discontinued?

Just got this turntable and its awesome. I have an extensive collection in mint condition and so far it could not be any easier. Would highly recommend this turntable. Its just a good turntable, period!

[DJMonger1]

just grabbed one of these off eBay new for $134, man this turntable rocks!

Is the AA TT Record good vinyl player? I mean just to play records, not to record them to a usb stick.

[mattbastardsen]

@TM261180 you can hear it play with the headphone adapter but there is no amplifier so it's not quite listening quality. But, there are output RCA jacks and cable that comes with it that you could connect to an amplifier. Haven't tried this yet but it's hard to believe that it wouldn't work. Check EBAY for prices - got mine for $100 (fantastic!) as an overstocked item

Just want to point out that the new ones are already formated to record at 192. The 256 upgrade is good. Don't try to copy the mcs file from a mac though. I kept having problems, it would never finish the upgrage. I loaded the card in my pc and realized that the mac system puts these funny extras files on the disc that can't be seen on a mac. The .mcs file needs to be the only file on the card.

cool ! Das hat geklappt !

cool ! That's worked !

[divinejudge1]

No one needs to buy USB turntable. Audacity software (free) or Ableton Live set up to any turntable is fine. Just connect the turntable to a good soundcard/sound interface then a computer, and you are ready to rip.

[deejayinzane]

lol i just said 128 kbit is to shitty quality for club playing and then i see this video. respect brian!!!

[noijja]

great vid brian, cant keep up with jons vids anymore, soo many but it's nice :)

[FunkyRob]

Well, 192 is better.....(almost there)

If they get to at least 256 I'm getting one.

[seanoxide3]

well, go check out their website now then. 256kbps is available

[FunkyRob]

Oh snap,

bap!

Bing! Bang! Boom!

I'm getting one now, that's for damn sure.

Thanks for the heads up

[mike71flores]

Let me know if you need some screen capturing software...

[scottadj]

The TT-Record addresses a mass market of "Baby Boomers" that would like to convert their "OLD" LP's to digital format. The original old LP's didn't come close to the quality of digital CD's. With that in mind the TT-Record is a great product for the price and delivers all the quality of the original albums in the majority of theses old LP collections.

[DJMGM88]

Great video,

Im definitely lookin' into one of those, i have a record box with alot of it that i would like to put onto cd...

[EFSpro]

Now that is fancy

[thisdjbeme]

I already have this product, and I wouldn't have known of the upgrade if it wasn't for this! Thanks again Brian.

[briansredd]

Exellent!  Glad I could help :)

[texs2007]

I actually like both 129 and 192,so this product had already gotten my interest. Besides,if I want to save a file to 320,I have a program to do that already,although I use it to go down from 320 to either 192,160 or 128.

[djisfan]

192 is just fine. this baby just got more attractive. I see how this unit can be much more convenient than the way I rip my vinyl.

[DJmisplacedmarbles]

good  to know but i couldn't justify spending $£$ on one of these already having decks ....is there any point for me ??

[briansredd]

Well like I said in the video, this machine is made to rip vinyl to MP3.  It's not a MUST HAVE, but it's a nice handy little unit

[DJmisplacedmarbles]

yeah I know man :) ...I was just pondering the idea of one ... I've never ripped any of my vinyl and was thinking of doing it soon so was wondering what would be the benefits of a machine like this one over say getting something else to rip my vinyl with or is it fast enough doing it via set up I have ( decks mixer pc)

thanks

[briansredd]

There are quite a few less steps with this method. The other thing I like about this method is that you don't have to worry about audio volume or EQ settings on your mixer. This is just a very easy way to make MP3 from vinyl compaired to other methods.

[DJmisplacedmarbles]

cool , thanks

[sleeperawaken36]

Nice to see they did the upgrade. I think the 192 upgrade will get a lot more buyers.

[traderpete007]

I wonder if 320 would add any value as there would undoubtly be quality loss due to vinyl damage, warping, vibration, cartridge imperfections and only God knows what else.

320 is absolute CD quality, and as we remember back from the beginnings of CDs - only digitally mastered tracks really provided full CD sound - and they used to label it as so... Remember AAD CDs??

[briansredd]

I was thinking the same thing. It's not like we're making a digital to digital recording here. I'm sure there is a quality difference when the bitrate goes up and down, but is it going to matter THAT much in this application? Sounds OK to me

[destroyer84]

192 is definitely better. Pretty cool they have an update.

[johngr2007]

The 192 upgrade makes this turntable a nice little purchase. This could save me a lot of time by bypassing the computer all together for vinyl rips. Great video brian.

[brettland]

I'm sure as these things develop it will be near to 320 soon, but great info brian.

[syntse]

Nice that they have made upgrade. Think the 320 is very close to original and still packed that's why it is wanted and all the mp3 shops sell their mp3s as 320... gotta say that the sound quality difference between 192 and 320 is noticeable.

[theminority5]

nice video brian
