macolganYes I suspected something like that as I couldn't remove that top end harshness on the music.
I cant control levels from "tape out" on pre-amp so will follow your advice for the mac end ... thanks.
sm2nGood first effort. However the recording level was much too high. Completely overmodulated. Try turning the volume output from your record player down, or reduce the recording level on the iMac's input. It's better to record the levels a bit too low and then you can always amplify the signal back up digitally after you've captured it into the iMac.
