- Godel_unicode 4y agoDigitally mastered audio laboriously printed to analog vinyl so it can be shipped to you and then ripped into digital format (and probably listened to on EarPods). Delightful.
- Jedd 4y agoI get the point you're making, but you're assuming a great deal. Vinyl records came out in the late 1940's. The first digital mastering was 1979 -- and it was quite a while before that became the default. So there's a huge window of exclusively analog mastering. And in both cases the likelihood that a random consumer would have access to the original (digital) master is negligible.
- jen20 4y agoPlus the decades of shellac before that…
- jamal-kumar 4y agoPeople who spin music on discs professionally could A: travel with their expensive vinyls in a case to whatever locations there may be, including when they get gigs in places like festivals in the jungle where the heat will melt those expensive things or B: Be happy this is a solution :) Back in the 90's in places like Goa the solution was using stuff like Sony's DAT format, or even minidiscs.

- goolz 4y agoSome people prefer spinning plain vinyl rather than using a DVS + control plate.
- endorphine 4y agoSo you're saying that, if a recording is digitally master, that negates any reason to print it to a vinyl? If so, I would be interested in hearing more (not very familiar with this stuff). Besides that, I would love to have access to some music, but it was only released in vinyl and it's too expensive for me. So if someone with the vinyl could do a decent rip and upload it somewhere, I'd love that. That's the point I'm trying to make.
