Vinyl starts as a poor material for recording music and only gets worse with age and use. Take a picture if it on old film and develop it with old techniques, and you end up with the worst possible recording medium. I'm impressed they got anything from it.
- dredmorbius 5y agoThere's a recording medium which is worse than a photograph of vinyl. None. If an old photo is what you've got, make the best at extracting from it.
- Kye 5y agoThis seems like an argument against something I didn't say in the comment you replied to. Maybe I misunderstood you.
- dredmorbius 5y agoThere's at least a plausible interpretation of your earlier comment that the attempt was futile or without merits. The OP makes clear that this was the only viable way of extracting information. 1 >>> 0. Also, as a sufficiently early recording (anything before the mid-1940s), the medium would have been shellac or wax rather than vinyl. Shellac especially is immensely fragile and prone to shatter when handling.
- Kye 5y agoYour interpretation was incorrect.
- dredmorbius 5y agoYour expression was unclear. I'm not telling you what you meant. I'm telling you what I heard, and, in reponse to your implied question, why I'd responded as I had.
