Vinyl should be the answer to declining sales and the free market of modern music.... they took away the real art and feel to the experience, and cheapened it all when they FORCED the CD crap onto us and still charged the same amount for less.
Bring back Vinyl, with good art, great sound and "free" goodies, and I think they may have a solution to the digital downloads.... give us some value, and the rest will sort itself out.
I love cover-art of Vinyl's too. But...! Sound quality is worse.Vinyls are faster to destroy just by playing them.A Japanese old compact's are the best!!!
I have CDs and mp3s, but I've recently been fascinated with the way vinyls are making a comeback (i know they never really left, but hopefully you know what i mean). I just don't know enough about them to really judge, but I guess i'm worried about the record scratching, and the cleaning / repair / replacement. I'm also reading in the comments that the sound is actually better, but in the video some people said it's not as clean (more raw) and they liked the cracks and pops. Help, anyone?
@vnllawytchkltblndie It's not really hard to wash a vinyl, so that worry about that. Vinyls cost a little more then CDs, but if you start collecting in. You will not look back, it just gives more. It's a bigger artwork, so the cover art is more beatiful then it would be on a CD. About the sound, no it's not better. It's just sound more organic, it's sounds more live. You will feel closer to the music, Belive me. I can answer all your questions about vinyl. Been collection for years now.
As for "noise, Most people just play vinyl without cleaning it on a professional cleaning machine. I use a VPI. Most all of my nearly 1,000 albums are silent, and the audio is many times better than cd. I have had many people sit down while I "A-B" between vinyl and cd, and I have YET to have one person not pick the vinyl as the far superior sound.
It goes way beyond the artwork. Vinyl is THE original High Definition format! I was fortunate to work in a High-End Audio store for 5 years and went to McIntosh School, Nakamichi, B&O, Audio Research etc... Cd and now the HORRID mp3's are all about convenience and nothing about sound quality. It is sort of a joke to people in the High-End Audio industry when people say that cd's sound better. I actually feel sorry for people when they say that. They are totally clueless...
i hate when people say they like the cracks and pops. the whole purpose of listening to vinyl is that it sounds superior. that's like loving when you drive your ferrarri at a slow speed. i fucking cringe every time i hear a crack or pop. i guess because it's the only indication that i'm listening to a recording and not the musician in my room . . .
@newfuckingwave Ive been listening to my vinyls all da, and every time i heard a crackle or pop i would just smile to know how old those are and its amazing that they dont do it more. Of course, never had a record that more than 4-5 crackles and pops. I love them in btween songs and at the beginning and end of the reocrd. Nostalgia man.. (and I wasnt born til 92! :O)
Vinyl will always win when it comes to involvement whether its the sound or the medium itself. Digital music lovers hate this but it's the bottom line. That's one of the reasons vinyl is still around today and indeed still thriving.
Some things just can't be replaced with digital technology. The ear is an analogue device, so analogue audio just sounds more natural. Records are mechanical- it's a joy to watch a machine work- and produce music. Records just have more "magic" to them than just processing digital files. I'm not wholly against digital because it has great convenience and portability, but music is more real on vinyl.
my view is that you can get a musical sound out of a record with much less technical (financial) effort compared to a digital setup. only the best cd-players play music, but still not as fluent & "natural" as a analog deck. true music gourmets will never get rid of their turntable. not to speak about the aesthetic aspects.
Simply put...I got 5 senses. Which format of music involves the "most" of each sense Visual (vinyl wins), Hearing (debatable, but I think vinyl wins again), Touch (vinyl wins), Smell (vinyl wins) Taste (depends on where the vinyl or cd has been lol).
Over all you get more involved with vinyl... and anytime you give more you willl get more back!
Vinyl is great because it's the embodiment of the normally intangible music. I mean, you can see the grooves, you know they're there! Music moves people, physically, emotionally, and spiritually; how cool to be able to hold something so powerful, yet so fragile.
there is a solution. if you want the quality/sound of vinyl on a pocket-size mp3 player, then buy a minidisc. you can record straight out of your mixer onto it or transfer mp3s onto it using the usb. it plays 44.1kHz aka cd quality. but it takes cassette-like discs. the best combination of analog and digital - records sound the same as out of the speakers. cost 2-300 player 5 buck discs. and it's easy to use. had 2 since 2004 and 100 discs
I guess it's partially nostalgia. And some are just stupid hipsters. Vinyl has the best quality IF you have the proper equipment. Since this year I never thought CD would sound "bad". But then I got my first SACD, which still is not as good as Vinyl.
But of course you can't put your Turntable in your pocket.
Oh, and that woman is stupid. iTunes get less than a third. I don't know how much the artist gets from a CD or Vinyl record, but she apparently doesn't know what she's talking about.
@akawhut I got the idea to buy records upon playing around with a record player in my basement when I was younger around 2 years ago I just got the idea to put it to use and collect vinyl since so many of my favorite albums and songs were released in the format. Hipsters that do things just to be different give everything they touch a bad name, don't pay attention to them. As for how much an artists gets from a CD or vinyl I think that depends on many factors together, nothing set in stone.
Right, the Analog sounds better than a bad (like now-a-days) Digital. Everybody tells so and me too. I ask my self WHY bad Digital continuously are produced and WHY at this point the industry doesn't come back to meet the needs/wanting of Consumers? Quality = Percentage satisfaction of the client.
Artists want their music to be loud, for today's youth. They want their songs to be louder than, or at least equally loud to, the rest of the iPod listener's catalog. They achieve this, at the cost of fidelity, with massive compression -- so every part of the song plays at a similar volume.
.
Most artists demand it in pursuit of sales. So the studios must comply.
It probably started with the "lossy", "throw out samples", "low bit rate", mp3 format. I am not sure.
.
Too many people believe that all CD players sound the same. So they buy cheap instead of quality components (and many of these folks can afford quality). So their gear hardly reveals the difference between good vs. bad digital recordings.
.
BTW, the iPod is not to blame. It just plays whatever you throw at it. Give it a quality wav file, and it will play that, too.
@NoEgg4u yeah but the DAC inside the iPod is not great quality. Modern music is badly compromised by artists who simply do what the record studio says, lack of talent, poor recording quality (compression is a HUGE issue). Most of the younger generation are lazy and ill informed and happy to believe the BS that they are fed.
@zachlikesbmth It can be either of them, from what I've heard; Death Magnetic is mostly the fault of Metallica themselves, for example, because it was given to the sound engineer (himself also responsible for clipping earlier albums to hell) already brickwalled, and it made even HIM criticise it.
@NoEgg4u I love loud music as much as the next guy but the loudness on some CDs and MP3 I have is just insane. It literally sounds muddy because of how naturally loud the recording was produced and it sounds terrible and harsh on my ears.
@NoEgg4u That's not correct. Studios demand it. I've known a few bands personally who had to have their albums mastered hot against their wishes. Most bands want their music to be heard for everything it is, not clipped to hell with every nuance drowned out.
I like vinyl for one simple reason..God gave me five senses and I want to use all of them to experience music. With an ipod : one inch screen, one button, piece of metal and chips that fit in your palm. Vinyl? I get to look at the huge artwork, the music needs me to interact with it in order to play. Visual I get to see the Lp/turtalbe operate. Each carries a new smell or a smell from where it was stored for years. Touching the cover/lp.
That girl makes a good comparison between music and cars, no one ever really questions why certain people love to drive stick shift, why should people question if I prefer to listen to a vinyl record over mp3s?
@wtf66611 Oh yeah. Vinyl has made/ is making a HUGE Comback. I live in a major metro city and and the three largest record stores here sell more vinl than any other format. What are some of your favorite bands?
my argument is just cause of the physical contact between needle and groove, is what makes vinyl sound so much better then a laser on a peice of tinfoil that gets converted and all that crap.
The comments about vinyl that I get tired of is the "clicks and pops give it an edge ",etc. Vinyl should be relativley quiet and I hate the clicks and pops if there is too much of it,there should not be any noise other than a calm windy "White Noise" background sound when no music is present that does not interfere with the listeining .Crackle pops are from dirt in the grooves mostly or it has been carelessly from lying around and dropped..
@CrashMarket LOL I know what you are saying. LOL I think when you really get down to it, the crackles and pops or more of a trade mark of the vinyl. You know, hering the contact of the vinyl and the needle. I think that is what people are really saying when they say that. lol
Personally I think the crackles and the pops are cool in the sense that they make each record kind of have it's own identity. Pretty much every mp3 download will sound the exact same (outside of personal systems)
@mrhoffame It gives it some character and a sense of nostalgia ,even a brand new audiophile album will have some crackles after you clean it before the 1st play even but they do tend to fade after some plays.I have a used copy of Streetlights by Bonnie Raitt and it is rather noisy but the sound Q is great ..Yea the 1st Drop and a litte crackle gives the listener something that digital formats cannot match.CDs are my limit,no Mp3s,IPODs,USB sticks..I realy cannot say much about them ..
@CrashMarket I agree. I think that is one thing we can all agree upon when it comes to the formats. Every single one has something that the others don't lol. I think that is why I do them all lol Take care my friend and thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Artists do get a bigger cut from vinyl in terms of the profit margin compared to other formats. The issue is that you're not likely to sell that many vinyl these days. Labels take bigger cuts from CD and the margin is smaller anyway. When things sell on iTunes they take a miniscule cut even when there is no label involved.
I would post some article links but youtube won't let me.
In terms of digital music bandcamp.com is the way forward in my opinion. In terms of audio quality vinyl is king.
@dag451 "another reason that I buy vinyl is because I support the artist more, if I buy it on iTunes they get 1 to 2 percent and iTunes gets the rest with this they get the entire bit ya know we get some Rhino but they get what they made." There's no way in hell that the artist ever gets the entire bit when you buy a vinyl record.... If the artist is still signed with the record that you buy that artist will get around 20 percent and if you buy music from iTunes the artist will get 10 percent.
@DivinityOfDoom True. She may be dumb, but I think she was trying to make a point and wasn't putting it together very well. It is just plain naive to think that the artist will make back all of the money from vinyl sales. I'm sure she didn't really mean that though. She just didn't articulate herself properly. The point is that the profit margins correspond to the mediums. 1000 units of vinyl sales will give the artists more money than relative sales on iTunes.
