Anyone digitizing vinyl to disk?

[riktweed]

Looking for an elegant way to bring turntable into DP, with shortest signal path and minimum cost per input.

Is an amp necessary between table and interface such as 828?

I need to get multiple (4+) turntable feeds simultaneously tracking.

Tips appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
you need a turntableamp to get the right level. The turntables have to be grounded (hope that‘s right in english...). To get a good sound i would prefer 4 small vinyl-amps, put them into a 828 or into a mixer and then the direct-outs to your interface...
I use 2 turntables with a dj mixer (for scratches and mixIing) and then in my "big" mixer and record via my subgroup and have a third turntable which is connected to a normal hifi amp with the "tape out" connected to my "big" one for sampling stuff.
If you need 4 you should look for some small "converters" that just have a phono in and convert this into a line signal... I think "monacor" builds some of these... Just a small box without any levelfaders...
Good Luck !!!

Danke sehr, Kayuza.
I did find a simple amp with ground post and built in RIAA curve made by Griffin Technologies. It is exactly as you describe.

I've used a preamp by Rolls (www.rolls.com) and have gotten good results.

Another possible solution I heard of (I haven't tried it, though) is to digitize WITHOUT a phono preamp, then use a Waves equalization plugin to apply the RIAA curve to the signal. I was told that the Waves plug-in have the RIAA plug-in as a preset.
