I have a Sony turntable with Sound Forge Audio Studio 9 LE. I want to record my old vinyl LP's, save to a USB flash drive to play in my car. How can I do this?
Playback the record though a phono preamp for the correct RIAA EQ curve and record it though your soundcard or interface to Sound Forge and save it as a 44.1kHz, 16 or 24 bit stereo PCM WAVE <.wav> file. Do any restoration and editing in the PCM format. You can then encode (Save as) the MP3s from the PCM master. Them copy the MP3 file(s) to the flash drive. You may want to look into the Sound Forge Audio Cleaning Lab.
If the turntable is the Sony PS-LX300USB then see this topic. - no RIAA preamp is required, the turntable was designed for what you are wanting to do as the output is via USB ie the RIAA preamp is built in along with an analog to digital converter.
