is it possible to make digital audio sound like vintage vinyl
sam here with another question. is it possible to make digital audio sound like vintage vinyl ? i realize i'm gonna get ripped a new a-hole however this is not a joke question. honest answers please i can take the heat
as crazy as it sounds it seams perfectly logical to me. now here is what i did using my 2013 dell pc windows 7 32bit.
using foobar 2000 with the convolver dsp filter i made an impulse file consisting of a 1 second wave file extracted at 32 / 88
from the intro to pink floyds us and them on 1st press vintage vinyl u.k harvest label. just the surface noise before the music
starts and applied the impulse file to a digital album to see if the digital album now sounds like vintage vinyl.here's the results
not sure if i made the digital audio sound worse or really what i achieved ? feedback will help me decide if i should
abandoned this pipe dream and move on. source is digital download flac 16/44 same source for both before/after samples.

audio sample 2 (impulse applied) http://pc.cd/7eA

sam here,something else i noticed that i believe is hampering my efforts at making digital audio sound more like vintage vinyl https://postimg.cc/LJQZYNF2 and even when you lower the volume on the digital file the compression remains? for some reason when the audio has more dynamic range as with vintage vinyl the sound stage is more open with less distortion. i believe if i can remove the digital compression this will get me closer to the sound of vintage vinyl. i have tried numerous denoisers and declippers however they seem to make the audio sound worse? or at best different like somethings missing? after doing some experimenting i stumbled upon a free foobar2000 filter called IIR dsp plugin. it has a preset called allpass and when i run the digital audio through the allpass filter the digital compression is gone. i'm not sure what the intended purpose of this filter is? the difference in the before/after sound quality is amazing here are my settings for the filter. https://postimg.cc/jCbxQmTv i had to use replay gain to prevent clipping due to the increase in dynamic range. to check that my results are correct i ran another test using the worst loudness war offender i could find. metallica death magnetic. https://postimg.cc/bSvSYwzY before waveform: https://postimg.cc/VdKvL8T5 allpass filter applied: https://postimg.cc/NLYRKQNx |
