Usb Turntable for sampling records

Hello all,

Im searching for a turntable for sampling some nice records...

Do you have any recomendations?

Belt drive or Direct?

How is the Sound of an usb turntable?

Thank you all in advance

I'd recommend getting a nice record player with a built in preamp with a stereo output to an audio interface into your DAW. I have done this on many times before and it captures the warmth of vinyl but also ensures the high end is still there. I use an Audio Technica belt driven record player into a Steinberg UR44. I like this set up because it includes the analog sound from the vinyl/preamp but also the crisp high end as the UR44 is 24 bit/192 Hz. These have given me the best results, but there are many ways to record vinyl

Thank you for your reply

I already own an audio Interface (focusrite 2i2) so your recomendation is to buy a belt drive turntable...?

Yes. If you already have an interface you'll just need a good belt driven vinyl with a preamp. If you're looking for something pretty cheap I'd recommend this one: Audio Technica AT-LP60BK Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Stereo Turntable, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008872SIO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_El6fxbEJB5NGH
