Hello, I have just purchased "Rescue you Vinyl's and Tapes 2016" have installed the CD and that works fine. The problem I am having is sound or the lack of it, have connected the record player to the silver box, and then the USB to the PC. But no sound.
I have a Cambridge Sound works 5.1 system connected to the computer via Optical, this works fine.
Any solutions? As I am looking forward to transferring my vinyl's to digital. Thank you for any help. K
Hi and welcome to the user to user forums.
I have browsed the Magix website for this product and it is not listed. Nor is an audio convertor.
I have to assume you bought this from a third party or shop. In which case you have to take the problem up with the vendor. I would ask for a refund.
My guess would be it is a withdrawn product with no support for Windows 10.

Thanks for that, disappointing to find people will sell out of date software. Would you please be kind enough to link me to the most up to date version of the software. Thank you so much for your help. K.

I would agree completely! Hence, as a first step I would suggest you return it to the seller, at the same time asking why they are trying to sell you such an old product!
As to a link to a later version: I do not think there is one!
Essentially, to carry out this task, you need a record player (which you have), feeding its output to (almost certainly) an RIAA pre-amp, this in turn feeding the audio to some kind of external audio interface and thence to your computer.
In my case I have a Sony record deck, feeding an ART DJ Pre II RIAA Pre-Amp, with the signal then going to a mixing desk (this mixer stage is not essential but makes monitoring of the signal easy). The mixer line output then goes to two channels of my MOTU 8-Pre Audio Interface and then, by firewire connection, to my computer.
The RIAA pre-amp is needed because the actual disc will have had a specific equalisation curve applied, the so-called RIAA curve, when it was created and the direct signal from the disc player needs this equalization curve to be "reversed" so that the signal does not have an artificial boost of certain frequencies, which is what the RIAA curve does.
Some record players include a "line out" facility where the signal already has the RIAA curve "removed" by the player's own electronics; for those players, the additional pre-amp is not needed.
