ripping vinyl to garageband with audio 10 - what am I doing wrong?
Posted on: 29.10.2011 by Terese Marceau
Hi all,

I was in the process of ripping all my 12 inches from vinyl to MP3 with a firewire audio interface, now i have discarded that and am using audio 10 soundcard with TSP2 in my setup.

however, Garageband doesn't seem to receive any sound. I have input and output set to Traktor audio 10 and monitor on, but no sound or soundwaves appear, does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

im obviously using direct thru from TSP2 to my mixer, and the only thing going from audio 10 to the laptop is the usb cable, I assumed this was enough?

Hopefully i've listed all the info needed but if there's other info needed i'm missing let me know!
Thanks in advance!

any ideas? thanks again

Was going to post the same thing! Use Audacity to digitize your vinyl.

And like others have said save in .wav format.

so just stopped using traktor and put an out from my mixer to the in on the audio 10 instead, and that way I could adjust levels.

Even if you haven't got tsp... Just wire mixer to an input on audio 10 and set up deck c or d to receive that input?
hey Maxone, I had understood that was possible but you cant crop with that function, so if you miss the start or end you cant get rid of it? i suppose not really a problem as you would avoid playing it in traktor

Why not just record in traktor and the cut and chop in a DAW as needed? You can't bring WAV files into garageband?

Also, rip them to wav, not mp3. You can keep the wavs as backup and convert to mp3 to play if you want afterwards.

ok just tried something that I hadn't tried before posting because i didnt believe it would make any difference, but in garageband I changed the input from channels 1+2 to 3+4, and now it works! strange as I was sure I would only have been using channels 1+2...

hope I didn't waste anyone's time!
