Re: Extracting CDRs - Issues

My joy knew no bounds when I found that the tray to the Philips recorder could easily be pulled out with your fingers. So all you had to do was put a blank "audio" cd in the recorder, let the machine recognise it and then go idle, and then pull the tray open and replace the disc with a ch...

I may be not be 100% correct but surely there should be no extras to pay.

VAT on books is 0%
Duty is 0 as value is less than £135

Or am I missing something?
Oh, I have no idea, as I am importing to another country.

Re: Mach Schau - new book at www.apcor.net

Thorsten the book looks fantastic but the postage is absolutely astronomical. It's almost the same as the price of the book. I really want to buy this but cannot afford postage like that. Is there any chance of you using a different carrier? I've spoken to other people and I think you are losing ma...

Re: Disque Americ Revolver

It seems LPs, which according to some seem to have certain natural sonic benefits over digital options, cannot by their nature contain hi-res audio. I always thought that was pretty obvious from the very description of the LP mastering process, where the mastering engineer had to limit and/or tweak...

Re: Extracting CDRs - Issues

I remember the time when my boss wanted to invest into, ahem, a "ZIP-drive" :mrgreen: of course, I prevented him from throwing money to the wind, and the latest word on the subject, a CD-Rec drive was duly bought. The first results were awful, as I remember; it was almost useless for copyi...

Re: Question on Ripping Vinyl

Depends on the quality of your vinyl first and on your plans, what you intend to do with your rip. If your vinyl disc is not close to EX, M, it makes sense to apply the standard Redbook conditions (16 bits, 44.1 kHz). If it sounds great and is not burdened with too much defects, and you are not rest...

Re: Extracting CDRs - Issues

I have 2 kinds of software for extracting CD-Rs, EAC (freeware) and SoundForge (not free). As soon as EAC starts giving me blues regarding audio extraction because some tracks are badly readable or not at all, I stop it so as not to waste time (there is no guarantee the end result in EAC will be a q...
