Hi, I've got a load of happy hardcore tunes which i've ripped from my vinyl collection...any recommendations on which software to use to clean up the audio?
I've been messing about in Soundforge but I cant for the life of me get the levels right and it geneally sounds cack!
Any help appreciated!

I Use Audacity when i dub my vinyl, i just export it to wav
the best thing to do is clean your vinyl and have a good stylus
(Edit: What stylus are you using?)

I've got the Ortofon Concorde S-120...pretty decent. I also clean the vinyl before recording.
When I compare my recordings to other MP3s the levels sound pretty different and thats not just the hi end.

Noise removal kills the sound quality in your tracks so the best thing to do is to experiment weith EQing and see what sounds best to you

if used properly, I think Magix Audio Cleaning Lab can do a pretty good job

My approach is try and get the best take from the start with the best possible signal routing available to you. I suggest recording 44.1khz at 16 bits cuz you're most probably gonna downsample instead of up from there anyway. I have a few soundcards but I've found that the best one to rip vinyl with is my Traktor?s A6.
Soundforge has a setting for vinyl ripping and imo does the job. You CAN fiddle with eq's or compression/limiting but to be honest I don't recomend it unless you have a decent set up that actually tells you what you're doing to the sound.
to summarize: good converters, clean take, normalize.

just buy a decent analog to digital converter for ?15, with a small pre amp on and plug it into your usb port
