[SLL] Vinyl to CD

[Cameron]

I used a pre-amp/receiver and tape deck to get my Dead tapes onto CDs. Plugged the deck right into the mic input on my laptop, used Audacity. Worked great!
I think I tried it with my turntable, too....but that was a couple of years ago...having trouble accessing those brain cells.
