Ion Audio TTUSB 10 Vinyl Recording USB Turntable with Audacity Software, Dust Cover and Analog Stereo Input customer reviews:
Forces you to infect your computer with itunes! This turntable, as all ion turntables, forces you to use itunes software for no reason. Any software could convert from wav to MP3 but they rig it so the wav files go away before anything other than itunes can get to it. The answer for vinyl This turntable delivered all that it promised. It was simple to assemble and set up, it is direct and easy to use, and the results are more than acceptable. This model also has the capability of converting other analog sources through RCA plugs, making it especially versatile for a variety of old formats. The good and the bad of the ION TTUSB 10 Turntable I am giving this unit 5 stars for the actual Hardware..... The Software is another story.
I am going to start with the bad (the Software)
The EZ Vinyl/Tape audio conversion software was included with the Turntable, So I put it into my computer (a PC) and started the installation process.
It wasn't until after the set-up was almost done, did it prompt me that I would need to install "ITunes" to make the software work. ( Almost anyone with a PC knows what happens when they let an Apple product invade their PC computer)
So I declined and tried to use the program without ITunes, it kept prompting me to install ITunes in order to work.
So the next thing was to uninstall the EZ Vinyl/Tape audio conversion software.
To no surprise, after I uninstalled the EZ software, the codec associated with the audio files for my Windows Media Player library became unusable.
It flagged most of the library items as errors, fortunately my audio library (almost 1000 albums) is on a external drive and was powered off, so all I need to do was fix the actual Windows Media player, empty the library and reload it after I pulled the registry items pointing to the EZ software.
So moral to this story is; If you have a PC do not put the software CD into your PC. You can download the Audacity sourceforge net
Tip: If you want to listen to an LP without recording it in Audacity, make sure the "sound activated recording" feature is off, then click both the pause and record buttons it will play through your sound card without having to actaully record the album.
Ok now the good part (the Actual turntable).
After some slight assembly and tweaking in the sound portion of Windows control panel (remember to change from mono to stereo both in control panel and preferences in Audacity), the turntable was ready to go.
The sound is great with very little noise from some interferences that you would normaly find from a turntable as in a 60 cycle hum and so on. The speed (pitch) is right on and constant. It also has a 1/8" input so you can hook a tape deck or a portable CD player though the turntable, good feature if you need to make an analog "backup copy" of a CD that wont rip on your computer.
The one thing that is lacking is a tracking light so you can see where the breaks are in the record. But all in all a great way to put those albums that you will never find on CD in your collection.
Good times Ion TTUSB Turntable with USB Record Just what my husband wanted to enjoy his LP collection. Bad Recording When I record my vinyl, the program is just recording from the Mac's speakers, resulting with quiet, tight sound quality. So basically, it records everything, even me talking. I'm not sure if I set it up wrong, or if that's the way is works. When it's recording, the record sound fine. I can even put in my headphones and it would sound just like a regular song I bought from iTunes. But instead, it records through the speakers, not the computer. If you know the solution, please help!
