when you're lucky, the freshly cleaned record will play without clicks or pops, so no need for digital cleaning (which almost always sounds s**t)* highest possible preamp quality (not necessarily expensive) turntable suspension with low hum and motor noise pick-up arm without resonances and well engineered geometry record player with low wow-and-flutter specs Otherwise it simply doesn't make sense to digitize IMO.įor compilations without existing master tapes I once asked a High End store if I might use one of their record players (and brought my own AD) or I have the records transferred in a vinyl mastering studio. The needle movement is translated into a very weak current which has to be amplified AND equalized) the conversion process should meet some demanding requirements. Usually I am not esoteric at all, but when it comes to vinyl, I feel that due to the purely physical nature of the information (needle picks up a signal, written as a groove. Now if all that didn't scare you away - good luck with the transfers! A poor transfer on a cheap DJ turntable will be trumped by a lowly mp3 in most cases. A decent turntable setup with a quality cartridge and a class A preamp is exceedingly expensive and that's really what it takes to capture every nuance carved into the grooves. If this is only a casual thing quality-wise, you'd be better off buying a chirpy CD copy. It takes just as many hoyrs to do a transfer with the switch set to low def and at the end you don't have anything to show for it. Use HD 24 bit 96k format and keep the final FLAC files at HD. It was fun to hear records that bettered the CD copies over the last 20 years but it's kind of a moot point now with HD digital releases.Įvery single modern HD release with a 24 bit 96k transfer of the original master tape has trumped the vinyl release every time. I was always impressed by the well made productions but I have zero tolerance for vinyl noise and distortion. If I'm honest, I've felt cheated by the vinyl format about 85% of the time. (Yes, the root causes go beyond the limitations of the old 16 bit digital format.) I've also heard many more albums that were so poorly made that a low res mp3 beats them badly. As in the vinyl (for all it's flaws and the analog generation loss) is a more accurate copy of the master tape than said CD reissue. I've heard many albums that put the 16 bit CD reissues to shame. If it's truly something rare and can't be found again, then iZotope RX is what you want. Restoration work for that kind of damage is exceedingly time consuming. If the album is damaged (hence hearing clicks and pops), spend some time looking for a new copy. or- is Audacity the best thing for this?
