Pleased with my effor...Life without Tom – Part III<br /><br />Pleased with my efforts at tidying up my iTunes library my attention turns to my vinyl collection. When I now play some of my records I’m puzzled as to why they were purchased, but a few merit a listen and to that end the hardware and software were bought at great expense some years ago to enable me to record my vinyl onto computer. <br /><br />To date I have managed a total of one LP. I’ve no excuse, it’s comparatively easy to do, launch the software, put the needle on record, and hit the record button. But then there is the dive over to the computer to stop and then start it again in between tracks. It doesn’t sound too difficult but I get distracted and miss my diving cue that means I have to start the process again from the beginning.<br /><br />I resolve that it would be better to have my LPs on my computer as one whole side at a time if this would help transfer the music. I could after all go into the software, bring up the tracks and insert a 3 second silence to divide up the tracks properly, at least that is the theory, likely to happen… no!<br /><br />I’m cracking on with the hallway although I’m lamenting real old-fashioned cotton dustsheets. The modern plastic ones seems to have the knack of tangling around your foot as you move, dragging themselves away from the area they are supposed to be covering, or just blowing into a heap when you open a door.<br /><br />I manage to record 4 LPs onto the computer, although several now appear to have painty marks around the edge. This was mainly due to my lack of concentration and not getting to the record until I heard the ‘click, click, click’ which means the end of that side. Never mind, it is a definite start and with yet another week of Tom’s holidays to go who knows as to how many might get processed!<br /><br />Chools<br /><br />Sunny NairnNairnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03860925312675238011noreply@blogger.com
