A few things digital generally doesn’t do nearly as well as analog. Air and squeaky sounds and applause. Oh, and raindrops.
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.

sam here again and this time i made an impulse file for processing digital audio from an 8-track tape from 1978 100% analog not sure if any of that sound was transferred to the digital album. due to the placebo effect i’m not sure if it made any difference please listen to before/after and let me know if you can hear any difference when the 8-track impulse filter i made was applied to sample (2) and if so did i make it sound worse? original. http://u.pc.cd/wDF impulse. http://u.pc.cd/Ag2ctalK vinyl (2006) http://u.pc.cd/hs7otalK |
