Anyone getting satisfactory results?

I have been trying to set up a process to digitize my vinyl. So far I’m not happy with the results. The sound is thin and poorly equalized. I have a Grado MM cartridge on a Denon turntable. For turntable/USB interfaces I’ve tried both Behringer models UFO202 and UCA222, and the Dynasty Pro Audio UA2D preamp. I have a top notch playback system. I thoroughly clean each record.

I record to Audacity, and even with its depth of control I still can’t get close to the quality of original vinyl or other digital sources.

Hi Stan,

I have a guide on this that might help:

Recording Vinyl Records Into Your Computer: Step by Step (with Video)

I suspect the issue is with the quality of the digital converters in those audio interfaces/preamps.

With a higher-quality interface, you’ll likely get the result you’re hoping for.

Hope this helps.

I use Voicemeeter Potato to send signal to Wavelab Elements for recording my Vinyl, then I use VinylStudio to clean it up (if necessary) and download covers and track details from Discogs.
I have a Schitt Mani pre-amp, Fluance RT85 Turntable.

my interface is the Scarlett 2i2… I think it sounds pretty good for my tastes. I’m not trying to do it pro level or anything though. I just want the convenience of being able to listen to my records on the go. I do think it works well. I followed the instructions on the site here and it wasn’t bad at all.
