I'm new here. I've poked about for tips about ripping LPs and eager for some guidance. It's a tall hill to climb and I want to do this right seeking to get good quality rips with a reasonable investment of money (done) and time.
I'm fairly new to ripping. I have a collection of ~700 LPs. I've been collecting and listening to CD rips and hi-res downloads for the last ten or so years. I've now begun to reach back to my LP collection from the 1970s and 1980s with the goal of digitizing the LPs and adding them to my library.
My ripping setup is: Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC Esprit SB turntable => Chord C-Line Interconnects => Furutech ADL GT40a ADC => Furutech ADL-supplied USB cable => MacBookPro running VinylStudio. Finishing off the set is a Spin-Clean record washer.
I have been testing the set up with VinylStudio and it works well. I'm unclear about the Cleanup Audio function. When I run Scan for Clicks, VS finds many (like thousands). If I run it again, VS finds more. I can keep running Scan for Clicks, but at some point (maybe even the first pass) I suspect that the Scan for Clicks may compromise the original sonic quality of the music. Is running Scan for Clicks advisable or is it best to leave the surface noise as that would be the case if I were to listen to the LP directly (note- my daughter still can't believe that I bought a turntable the doesn't natively play records
Since I new to vinyl ripping, I'd appreciate any guidance or tips.
