Recording Tapes and LPs to CD

Keep in mind that the wav. format is the one that is used for burning directly to CD. To do this, you just need to open your CD burning software, find your wav. file and drag or drop it into your burn list.
Also keep in mind that you can record directly to wav. and forgo the midi. format completely. Midi. has some specialized recording uses that I will cover later in subsequent articles.
For now, some useful things that you can do by recording directly to the wav. format;
For example, someone asked about recording your old L.P.s (What's that?) or tapes to CD.
To do this, you need to hook-up a tape player or record player (?) to the input of your sound card.
Most newer computers have a sound card, accessible from the back panel. If you look there, you will see the inputs to your sound card; an input for a microphone that will usually have a little microphone picture by it and another input for stereos and such. You will usually also find outputs for additional speakers.
The general input for stereos and such is where you plug the output of your player.
Next, find the software for your sound card. This can often be found in accessories. The software should include a recorder. You may have to select the proper input in your recorder's options or file menu.
Next, play your tape or L.P. while recording it with your sound card recording software. This recording can be saved directly as a wav. file and then easily burned to CD.
If your source is an older L.P. that has scratches, there is software available to clean it up.
If, by chance, you don't have a sound card, you may wish to purchase one. Go down to your local computer store and pick one up for a surprisingly low price.
I have recorded entire L.P.s to CD including some rare 45s of luminaries like Mario Lanza
