Analog VS Digital... Again!
This is a different perspective of how to compare vinyl to digital. Instead of saying one is better than the other, I explore some facts about both.

All About Reverb - You've heard it millions of times - How does it work?
Переглядів 14 тис.3 роки тому
Reverb is a crucial part of music production. It adds space, ambiance, and musicality to instruments and voices. It used to be hard to achieve, but technology made it easy, and very affordable.

A-Ha - Vinyl Needle drop - The Sun Always Shines On TV
Переглядів 13 тис.3 роки тому
"The Sun Always Shines on T.V." is a song by Norwegian pop rock band A-ha. The song was written by guitarist Pål Waaktaar. It was released as the third single from their debut studio album Hunting High and Low (1985). This is a very clean copy on Vinyl, using my Fluance RT-81 Turntable and an AT440mla cartridge.
Dj'ing with vinyl - Old School and New
Переглядів 19 тис.3 роки тому
The term Disk Jokey has taken on a different meaning as of recently. Old school guys like me just wanted to spin hit songs on the radio. New age DJ's are ramping it up with beat matching and effects. Let's talk about how they use fancy turntables to do what they do, or did before digital. We'll also throw in some vintage back cuing techniques.
Recording Songs on Only 4 Tracks
Переглядів 15 тис.3 роки тому
When a musician wants to record a song they wrote, but they can't afford a studio, what do they do? Buy a 4 track! Considering that most popular music was and is recorded on at least 24 tracks, or more, 4 tracks is quite limited. In this video, we'll talk about what tracks are, why more it better, and how one might get by only using 4 tracks. Some tunes of mine: soundcloud.com/user-551461074 Cr...

Tape Bias - What Is It?
Переглядів 55 тис.4 роки тому
This video talks about the technology that allowed us to use tape to record audio. Without "bias", we would have had much trouble getting tape recordings to sound good. Many are familiar with bias because they used cassette decks to record their records, and there were buttons that changed the bias, depending on what kind of tape was being used. It's not very understood by most people, so I dec...

    Just received some lathe cut vinyl of our new single and when the breakdown happens and the fuzz and organ climax two of the grooves are so close together! This has resulted in some of the discs having skipping and sticking issues. So gutted. Majority are fine but 10% have a visible merging of the groove areas. Searched on UA-cam and this came up so will forward it to my cutting engineer.

    This is easy to answer. LP if you have the money. CD if you have a decent set-up. Cassette can sound surprisingly good, if your player ain't the worst deck out there. It wasn't so rosy with cassettes back in the 80's and 90's that they should go for the exactly same price as CDs, as they do these days. Underground black metal cassettes are a different matter and they cost as much as all the cassettes should cost. But even cassette is a fad these days. LPs are ridicously overpriced, hopefully the hype will crash and burn.

Antique Sound Labs AQ-1001DT with Fosi Audio preamp feeding my Meadowlark Kestrels. Everything just works together perfectly. I love listening to great music... unlike what I find with many "audiophiles" that want to listen to "issues" with their systems.

    Good point about the placebo effect. Qualitywise listening to analog or digital it comes down to if it's good enough. Analog has what I call the "gadget factor" - turntables leading the way with reel-to-reels close behind. Digital is convenient.

    I have followed this tutorial for years now. Since I do not need to change carts often, but every few years I do, and this is a video I have saved and always go back to. It has helped all the carts I have bought be the best they can, and sound. I want to say thank you for this video that is easy to follow, understand for everyone, and making it not about you need this, or that you need to get something expensive to get the job done. The only thing I would say you should buy is the digital scale, just like in the video. This could be bought in a kit for $25 (scale, alignment protractor, scale gauge block). Very happy that this video has been seen as much as it has. It shows how many people appreciate the video, and how many people have gotten into vinyl records/turntables.

    I dusted off my turntable and set it back up after 40 years to realize why I put it up 40 years ago ! It’s an antique I can show to kids who don’t know what they were ! That’s about it ! Reel to reel , cassette decks are the same ! It’s a bygone era , replaced by massive amounts of streaming libraries ! The blue tooth receivers facilitate a wealth of music to be taken off your iPad or iPhone ! The quality of the sound has never been better ! I guess all my old equipment will be dusted off by someone else one day after I pass away ! Their curiosity will be short lived as they laugh at how electronics and music has changed ! lol I am 73 and I have and continue to enjoyed music ! That is really what it’s all about !

    You seemed to imply a couple times that digital sounds bright, or harsh. IMO, that's largely due to the DAC you're listening through. This sound of digital is easily identified, because for most people it causes listening fatigue. You simply can't listen to it for very long. With the level of DACs available today, you can dispense with that fatigue for about $200USD. Even the inexpensive DACs from China have cured that problem. Now the dynamics of digital (and a good DAC), is another things altogether. And it may not be for everyone. Personally, for me, I like to hear the breath of the vocalist, and the fingers moving on the guitar - along with the music. After all, you're hearing it all. And, the easiest way to test your system - whether an album or digital track is with acoustic instruments. With a decent DAC, you will hear everything. The trailing reverb of an instrument string, or the well-executed sustained note by a vocalist. My .02 cents. :)

    I really appreciate your thoughts here. I'm in the process of upgrading my stereo and as you have already demonstrated, there is a forest of what is available. I'm interested in the Fluance, even though it is built in Taiwan. My personal desire is getting just good sounding music. So when it comes to turntables, I'm between 300 and 600 dollars. That's a pretty big spread. The Fluance just as how it looks, looks great.So here I am, I can spend 300 or if I really think the extra money brings better sound, I can go up to $600. I really do like your sensible thinking though. It comes down to just this. I want the stereo to sound good.
