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.

I have a similar question, is it possible to make CD sound like vinyl? That’s what I did for the older cd’s. It’s to "ruin" the 120db of channel separation that cd has by bleeding left and right together has from 20hz to 20khz and bring it’s channel separation down to only 30db in the mids, and 10db!!!! at each end (highs and lows) that a vinyl cartridge on a vinyl can do. https://ibb.co/Vtm8bNx And it makes those old L/R ping pong sounding cd’s that are taken from the master (no vinyl involved) far more listenable like the vinyl does, because it’s the vinyl cartridge that ruins the channel separation that’s on the master in the first place.

Many do not realize. When there was only vinyl? Not everyone was always happy with it. Only a few records out of an entire collection may have sounded excellent. When digital came out I began hearing drums and bass like I never could on records. Being a musician I understood how real instruments can sound. Vinyl always frustrated me in that area because it blurred the distinctions. Digital on a good system is more true to what real instruments sound like. |
*...the WayBack machine settles down...J approaches Nipper....* C'mon, boy! We won't tell them the run-out grooves sounded like yowling cats...*scrathes behind ears*... *Nipper rises, stretches, and happily bounds into the WB....* I'll bet you're good and hungry...it's been way too long.... *...the WB bounds back to the future...* |
