I've been trying to import some old Led Zeppelin LPs for a few days now, and so far I haven't managed to get a decent reproduction of any of them. Problems are such:
- The built-in amplifier on my receiver causes tracks to clip too much while being imported, so I have the Monitor switch thrown to bypass it. As a result this causes the sound quality to become too tinny, and turning down the treble setting doesn't help.
- Stereo sound is heard over the speakers hooked up to the receiver, but the result waveform in Audacity shows that only one channel is being recorded, with some minor bleed from the left track creating a sort of pseudo-right track. I'm using a stereo-capable cable from the receiver to my computer.
- The audio quality being imported is terrible; it sounds like a badly-tuned FM radio station. The feed over the speakers is fine.
Would any vinyl holdouts have any ideas what I could do to fix any of this?
