Ripping vinyls options

Guidance2 6:23 PM - 20 February, 2020
Hello,
I would like to rip vinyls from a Technics SL1200 through a recent Macbook Pro using a Rane Seventy Two mixer.
But I am a bit lost. Many questions actually :

- Is it better to use Audacity or is it ok to record directly with Serato ?

- Which of the Rane 72´s output shall I use to connect to the MBP : Session Out ?

- Shall I use the headphone output of the MBP and set it as an audio input ?

- How shall I set the levels on each piece of hardware so that the level of the recorded file is equal to the other soundfiles that I have purchased digitally ?

Thank you very much for your help.

You can easily record using “Thru” mode in Serato that’s normally how I rip my vinyl it’s like non DVS mode when you just want to play vinyl. You just use the recording option like normal.

Easier perhaps but not better.
