...a mic input into my shitty netbook not connecting properly...
I've run into a balance problem though when I record
Is the main balance setting on the mixer ok? Maybe it's been calibrated incorrectly?
What tips do people have for archiving vinyl properly?
I have my Technics, a good audio interface. Saving as 16-bit, 44khz aiffs, which is fine to my ears.
Trust me. You don't want to be recording through this at all. And doesn't vinyl purism mean that you don't have to bother with any of this?

My USB recorder thing doesn't work on my shitty netbook does it?
when i first decided i needed to do this, i had to let it upload constantly for 10 days straight, but i don't notice it now as it just backs up incrementally. FWIW, i use SugarSync and it works well, that link from Blackdown is also a similar service. i hope i never have to use it and download all that stuff again, but still. it's good to know it's there! CDs are just shiny round receipts now.
(i keep meaning to blog some of my really nerdy stuff about managing digital music libraries, keeping on top of downloaded mixes etc but that would take me into territory dangerously close to my real job, which i try not to think about unless i have to.)
A USB recorder should be a much better option, but you were saying that you were having some problems with it? The mic input just isn't built for high quality audio.
Netbook doesn't recognise recorder, hence all the scrabbling with cables
