So my usual method is to rip the vinyl on the desktop and bring it to the laptop on a usb to start sampling. I originally tried ripping directly to the laptop (in audacity and directly to Ableton, with the laptop plugged into the wall) but the end result sounds like ass. I'm assuming that the difference is that I route the audio in through the blue line-in hole in the desktop, but the laptop just has a mic input. Next year I won't have access to a desktop, so is there any (hopefully free) method I can effectively rip vinyl onto the laptop?
