About 78 rpm records Vintage Music

All these recordings are straight from the record to the computer, no EQ or pre-amp used. I plug the single output from the turntable into the MIC input on the back of the computer using an adapter from Radio Shack. The cartridge I use (GE VR II) produces plenty of voltage for volume and no preamp is needed. The stylus is designed for lateral cut mono records and has a rubber 'bumper' to dampen up and down movement of the needle within the cartridge, shutting out almost all the random scratch and hiss generated by the up and down movement of the needle. Got this cartridge at an estate sale in an old Garrard turntable for $2.50 on half price day. I am currently using my 4th - 3 mil stylus (sapphire now, the diamond ones are no longer available).

When I first made these videos, I used the soundtrack from the camera audio pick-up, mediocre at best. It recorded the music from my tinny little computer speakers. And the washing machine, and trucks and airplanes. After a few dozen of these, I decided to record WAV files as I was video taping, then convert the WAV files to MP3 files and replace the camera audio track with this MP3 track. Much better sound.

Hope this answers all the techie questions.

It's all about the music!

Enjoy!
