I use Adobe audition. It has the same features including crackle removal, mastering. I have ripped ALOT of vinyl over the years. And to get a good quality rip. You need to prep. The first question I ask myself before ripping a record is - can you not get it digitally already? A properly mastered digi file will always be better than a vinyl rip. Then step 2. Cleaning the record. Is the record battered? If so then don't bother as no amount of editing/mastering will save it. Step 3 - equipment. Is the equipment of a good standard. I rip all my records using an ortofon elite cartridge with a good condition stylus. Don't bother ripping vinyl if your using a knackered old Stanton 500AL. Record the record with all levels at 12OC and max dB of between -7 -5db. This gives you some room to boost levels in mastering without clipping. After all this. I use Adobe audition to clean up crackles and apply mastering. Then after all this....wonder why I did all this and should have bought it digitally!!!

I think I might give this a shot because the pricing for Audition is a bit high to use casually. I bought RX 8 a while back and it does well for cleaning things up but the markers and regions aren't as nice as Audition. I think this with its Discogs integration, combined with that, might be a good, inexpensive solution.

The thing about ripping from vinyl is that even though there may be a Digital version of the track, it may not have enough volume to it, such as first CD issues on The Association or Buffalo Springfield.

For best results, I would add a couple of things. First, I wouldn't use a DJ phono cart to make the recordings. Its not what they're made for. You don't have to spend a lot of money, but I would definitely get one made for listening, and not DJ use. Get the lowest output cartridge your budget allows for and you should be fine. Also, I'm assuming you'll be looking at a MM or high output MC phono carts. Anything with a lower output and you'll need to get a new phono preamp, and is not necessary for this application. One other thing that applies to not only this discussion, but to many others, as well, is gain and volume. Its absolutely critical that you know the difference between a gain control and a volume control. This applies to recording vinyl, but also any time you're setting up equipment. If you're one of those people that do things like setting all your knobs at 12:00, or something similar, this applies to you. Volume and gain controls are not clocks. You put them where they need to be, and here's why. A volume control can't distort the signal. Only a gain control can. If you don't know the difference, you may get it acceptable results by playing with all the levels, but its no substitute for just knowing how to set them properly. Its a pretty big topic, and can't be dealt with in a post like this. Just look for some reference material on gain staging and you'll be fine. This is something every DJ needs to know.

Since the SW knows the length of the song, it should move the ending marker when you move the beginning marker.

a good Thing to digital the owning Vinyl Collection, but maybe it has to be said , that mostly the Digital Result is terrible in terms of Beatgrid ! Cause most People use their dj Slipmat under the Vinyl instead of using the original Rubber Mat! with the Dj Slipmat the Wow & Flutter becomes much more bigger . And i would recommend always when possible to use a Technics SL 1210 Mk 2 or MK 5 (ideally a refurbished one ) they are the most accurate Turntables out there ! about the mk 7 i can’t say something, not testet yet.
