what are you listening to?

Deep Purple - Machine Head - Sourced from Quadraphonic Vinyl on my Thorens TD 160 Super, Played back at 24-bit/96khz wav file (you could call this a 'needle drop'), oh yeah, and the mix is different in certain places when compared to the original, I found that most interesting. I know the album back to front and there are some parts/tracks from the master which don't even appear on the cd.

it's just that I'm not that familiar with converting to wav, as on a Mac, we convert to .aiff.
the only time I've seen reference to bits'n'khz is when I convert to .flac
just educating myself.

Wav file is the initial format that the needle drop is recorded to with pc's, in your case it would be aiff format for macs. Both are lossless formats and space can be saved by using lossless flac codec at the end of the day.

I have over 250 needle drops which I need to split into tracks, found some amazing software to help with this, but at the end of the day manual adjustments have to be made, big job but will be nice to have tracks to select and randomize, not to mention a subsonic filter applied to protect those oh so precious jbl 4311b's when played at high volumes.
 
Also, 16-bit/44khz is cd standard, 24-bit/96khz is higher resolution and i use this because its the highest my soundcard supports, takes much more disk space but flac helps with that.

LOL, you would need 4 solid state drives running in a raid array, and if you are lucky that might just keep up with the amount of data being laid down during recording. :laughing3:
