Why would you want to do that ?
If you must, add some crackle and pop and voila.

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
audio sample 3: http://pc.cd/7DP7
audio sample 4 (impulse applied) http://pc.cd/bw2

DSP - Vinyl Emulation Mode No where does it say what’s done to do it, my guess is to mimic the left to right separation that vinyl does so poorly compared to digital. What I said earlier in this thread "Here is the best channel separation a Lyra Dorian cartridge can do https://ibb.co/Vtm8bNx this if it’s done to a dac's output will richen things up, especially at the frequency extremes as they get mono’ized for want of a better word."

Ah ok... You want much less dynamic and separation. You want wow and flutter and bad channel separation. Not enough, you want physical angle errors, surface noise, crackles and stylus / groove wear... Vinyl is not that bad using premium recording / turntable / etc but for me, it can’t touch a good recording played back on a good DAC. But that's only my taste. For those who love vinyl, it's ok and i'm glad for you! Not trying to start a flame war!!! As for your "vinyl sound" question: Almost anything is possible with digital. Those who say that it’s not possible just don’t know digital, math and DSP... You apply transfer function using DSP. You can equalize,dephase, inset crackle and whatever you want with DSP. https://www.izotope.com/en/products/vinyl.html |
