To factor out identifying pops & scratches, pre-record a vinyl song onto digital...
This would simply be a digital reproduction of a vinyl recording. (Something I quite like BTW). Vinyl is a "thing" because the process plays a part in creating that sound people love and not just reproducing it.
- sjtrny 13y agoIt's more a "thing" because of other social status reasons.
- abalone 13y agoWhich is fine, but that nobody admits to that. How many vinyl enthusiasts would be just as ok consciously listening to a digital creation of the pop and scratch filter they enjoy? PVC is as awful, environmentally bad material and heavy to lug around. Why wouldn't DJs rip their vinyl to digital or just apply a filter to digital sources? Most enthusiasts believe vinyl is actually better (quite adamantly) and that's what this experiment would test.
- noonespecial 13y agoI don't know about a pop and scratch filter but I like some of the recordings of my old records I've captured more than the clean digital versions available now. I don't want random pops and scratches, I think maybe I want my pops and scratches.
