    12 inch vinyl single versus digital transfer

    I'm NOT comparing the master tape to anything. I'm comparing the sound of vinyl to a CLEAN digital recording of it. Have you listened to the song I recorded? How can you say I screwed up the transfer unless you have???

    12 inch vinyl single versus digital transfer

    It's common knowledge that analogue sounds better than digital copies made of it regardless of what transfer technique is used, so what's your point again? Digital recording is purely SAMPLING the REAL THING (analogue).

    12 inch vinyl single versus digital transfer

    WRONG! The monitor, my pc sound system, is the same for both digital playback and source(the turntable), and therefore direct comparisons can be made between the recording and the vinyl input. Vinyl sounds better unless I suppose I record at a much higher sampling rate but I just don't see the...

    12 inch vinyl single versus digital transfer

    I outputted my turntable through a phono amp to a Lexicon I- Onix u82S digital mixer which outputs to my pc sound system. I recorded the stereo signal to Ableton 8 on a stereo track at 44.1Khz, 16 bit and compared the recording to the actual source, the vinyl 12 inch. The vinyl sound was more...

    12 inch vinyl single versus digital transfer

    Where did you get THAT piece of disinformation from? lol.. I outputted the signal from my turntable into a Lexicon I-Onix u82S digital mixer with AMAZING A/D and D/A convertors btw.. all I am saying is a digital copy is just that...a SAMPLE of the real thing and therefore cannot ever sound as...

    12 inch vinyl single versus digital transfer

    I'm comparing the actual sound of a 12 inch vinyl single to the level-only mastered digital copy of it played through the same sound system. Vinyl wins hands down! :)

    12 inch vinyl single versus digital transfer

    The digital replica was made using a Pioneer turntable and a Teac amp, both of some vintage, 1978 or so recorded into Ableton 8. Then it was level mastered only and saved at 44.1Khz (CD quality). The song was tested on various players and our collective ears did the rest, is that what you mean?

    12 inch vinyl single versus digital transfer

    IMO music lovers are best off buying a CD from Amazon if they want the best sound they can get from an artist simply because what they're getting is a WAV file versus a 128 kbs MP3's from ITunes. But I guess the convenience of MP3's makes them the preferred media. That's life! :) Cheers, Lu

    12 inch vinyl single versus digital transfer

    I was amazed to hear the biggest, warmest sound from our self-funded 12 inch single we made back in 88 when played back through my pc sound system that matches or exceeds the pure digital recordings we have also mastered! Size DOES MATTER when it comes to vinyl folks! The vinyl sound is far...

    1/4 inch 15ips master finally transferred to digital = PHAT SOUND!

    Thanks man! Not all the songs are that old :) The Answer and Morning Star are current recordings. We seem to have managed the shedding just in the nick of time it seems. No-one told us to bake it first and I'd be scared to anyway! Better to keep what you have before you lose it all right? LOL...

    1/4 inch 15ips master finally transferred to digital = PHAT SOUND!

    Has the mp3 Devalued Music?

    I don't see the point of 128 Kb/s MP3's. 320 Kb/s SHOULD be the minimum standard for commercial MP3 releases.
