[QUOTE="sirius, post: 463163, member: 258"] For a start, Id move your decks or computer or get a long lead, as you sound to be doing it twice. Ive got over 5,000 tunes, and I record every mix (when I rarely do ripping), the thought of doing every record to minidisk and then MD to PC makes me :o . I may be wrong on this, but as far as I was instructed, a 128/44.1/stereo [B]wav[/B] file is the same quality as youd find on a commercial CD. Its only when you convert the wav file that you need to set it to 192. 192 sounds a bit high (for me) and Ive found I can do one notch down with no difference - although thats upto you. It makes sense to do it as high as possible, but if only dogs and bats can hear whats missing I dont see the point of going to ridiculously high rates. As I say, I have over 5,000 tunes and say an average of 3 tracks a record, thats 15,000 mixes, 15,000 mixes at say 6 minutes a track and 3 minutes trim and conversion time gives us 135,000 minutes or 2,250 hours, thats 94 days, which is over three months SOLID pure recording time with no piss breaks.

I use Adobe Audition, and I record a heap of wav files, then say on a saturday morning/afternoon before I go out for a few hours, I make sure I have enough hard drive room and run the batch processor on say 30 tracks. I come home and its all done and the original wav's automatically deleted. If you havent any audio software, I [B]think[/B] "Audacity" is still freeware. For free, its a godsend. Dont know if it batches though, but there are stand alone tools for mass conversion. I used to sit and wait whilst it processed, but that eat into my recording time, so I learnt to batch.
