Customer Reviews

Brings your LP collection into the 21st Century !!
I love the InPort Deluxe. Set up was a glitch-free breeze, and the included software (LP Recorder, DeClick, LP Ripper) work exactly like I'd hoped. Pretty intuitive, not too many parameters and options to cause confusion. Sounds very nice, probably better than the original record once you declick it.

The DeClick program does indeed work very well. I prefer to set the LP Recorder level manually, rather than using the Auto Level feature. This is because when listening to an LP MP3 file next to a CD MP3 file on my MP3 player, the Auto Level record feature causes the LP files to be a little softer than the CD files. Setting the LP Recorder level manually to "39" creates LP MP3's that are the same volume as CD MP3's for me. I detect no clipping using this record level.

Although I have 1400 CD's, I still have 700 LP's. A significant portion of my LP's are still not available on CD. I'm tired of waiting for the record companies. This product allows me to bring my remaining LP collection into the 21st Century. I'm now having lots of fun with this product, listening to my LP's at the gym on my MP3 player, and burning them onto CD's for the car.

InPort Deluxe met all of my requirements, exceeded my expectations, and I would recommend it to anyone who still has a pile of vinyl or cassettes.

This is Great!
I bought this elsewhere but checked after I bought it on Amazon for opinions before I opened the package. I need to transfer a large collection of 45 and 33 RPM records to CD's. I am using a Technics turntable and a Steinberg preamp to feed the unit. It works great!! As for the software it does a good job of recording, cleaning up the noise and clicks and ripping to individual tracks. I have run the software on Windows XP Pro and currently am running it under the Vista Operating System. Everything is compatible and works fine. The documentation is fine and I was up and running in 20 minutes.
I would recommend this product without reservation.

Xitel Inport Deluxe Audio Recording Kit
I set up my Xitel Inport Deluxe (received as a gift) yesterday and recorded and saved a recording of a two sided LP record. The process went very smoothly after in initial learning period and I got no errors at any point. The software that comes with the Inport does exactly what it is supposed to do if one follows the documentation carefully. I was especially impressed with the ability to remove pops and clicks (present with most older LP records) from the recorded wav files. The most difficult part of the process is learning to use the feature which splits the large single wav file into separate recorded tracks which correspond to the songs on the LP. Once I understood that it went smoothly.

The most time consuming part of the whole process is simply recording the whole LP record side which obviously must be played from beginning to end while Inport records. Once that's done, processing of the file, removing pops and clicks, and splitting and finally renaming tracks into the original song titles went pretty fast. Those tracks of course can be saved on your hard drive and, if you wish, burned to a CD-ROM (using other software supplied by the user) which I did.

Finally I can permanently preserve some really old jazz and classical recordings that probably are no longer available anywhere. I'm REALLY impressed with the Inport Deluxe Kit!
