tomstephens89 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Hi all, I wrote a guide over at VinylEngine a little while ago detailing my workflow when 'ripping' vinyl. I have just done a video version of that guide and hopefully it helps someone out! All feedback appreciated. Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Can I still love my records and NOT do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first step to really prove you love your records is to watch a 40 minute Youtube video. Then, you rip your records to the computer so you never have to touch them again. Gotta keep those grailz pristine. Thirdly, get those puppies up on the wall as decoration. Post that shit on reddit for that sweet sweet karma. Fourth step, you ask? Profit. whoa, faaip de oiad, Rip and 1 other 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoa Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 TL;DW? Here's 40mins condensed into a handy list: 1) clean your Thin Lizzy LP using a brush or windex 2) hook your turntable's audio prongs up to a soundcard (ground to pre-amp/paper clip if your turntable is ancient) 3) download audacity and change audio preferences to use said soundcard. 4) slap record in audacity and play your record. Don't forget to flip it. Make sure to walk really heaviliy nearby. (Optional step: add "vinyl noise" SFX onto recording for extra authenticity then use EQ to crank the treble) 5) export recording to a high quality 128kbps MP3 and put it on your Zune. I'll do another 40 minute tutorial soon on how to put this MP3 on your Zune. Roandy55, One Hundred Fifty-Two and gracetoo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I've never understood the point of ripping vinyl... besides ruining your ears so you can't actually enjoy the advantages vinyl has over mp3s when spinning vinyl. It doesn't sound better digitally than a digital source, vinyl ripping is a thing because of old records with literally no other source to hear them. You're not doing the world a service ripping your copy of Dark Side of the Moon, trust me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 And to think, there are people out there who insist we’re just a community filled with piss and vinegar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 https://www.wired.com/story/phonocut/ Looking forward to the sequel 80 minute video about ripping those vinyl rips to 10 inch lathes for listening to while at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyEnemy Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) Are there people out there that care so much about banal shit that they focus so much on that and only have 75 records? Oh and also, has Spotify not made it over to the UK yet? Edited October 14, 2019 by MyEnemy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not doing the world a service ripping your copy of Dark Side of the Moon, trust me. The point is listening to something that only exists on vinyl some place other than where you have a stereo setup... or posting it on a music sharing torrent site/archive (R.I.P. What.cd) to boost your ratio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
