For as long as soundtracks keep getting released on vinyl, I shall remain doing this. ALL rips will be posted in FLAC, there will be no MP3 down-conversions

Intrada and La-La Land are going to be doing vinyl releases this upcoming year, having seen a company like Mondo make money off of their hard work (as they infer). Intrada was even going to reissue their "RoboCop" album (which was awesome), but they can't - some other label got a hold of it for a new vinyl release!

Are you asking for a vinyl rip of that? Cause it ain't happening. I hated the movie. And half the OST I have on vinyl anyway.

I use Aduacity to rip the vinyl and then Audition to do all the editing.

Yes, I think I know why. I'll be in Manhattan (one of the best places to be on RSD imo), where will you be?

Ah ok. I only did one rip long time ago with VinylStudio (Mac).

I'll be in Germany. I hope I will get everything what I ordered and maybe something else :)

Dak,
What hardware are you using to digitize your vinyl? I have one of those Brookstone USB turntables (bleh) and it's terrible. I have an old Yamaha turntable from 1978 which I'd like to hook into my mixer, but I don't know what to use to bring it up to line level. Any ideas? Thanks.

I WISH I had a '78 turntable. Mine is also a USB and it's a piece of shit. It's this guy (http://www.amazon.com/ION-Profile-LP-Vinyl-to-MP3-Turntable/dp/B0029QRA1U/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1429332591&sr=8-4&keywords=ion+profile+usb+turntable) and I hate it. It's not an audiophile turntable, but it gets the job done and it's what I was able to afford. I record the vinyl via Audacity and then do all the editing in Audition. DO NOT use the directions that came with it. It will tell you to download a program and it will rip everything and split it up. That's what Audacity is for ;)

I have the ION model before that. For some reason, the device only sends out 16/44.1, I can't get it to output anything higher than that. That's why I want to use my Yamaha.

I'm reading Best A/D Converter for Digitizing Vinyl $500 or Less - AVS | Home Theater Discussions And Reviews (http://www.avsforum.com/forum/173-2-channel-audio/1486673-best-d-converter-digitizing-vinyl-500-less.html) this thread which says that vinyl doesn't have anything higher than 11/32. Huh? That contradicts everything I've read and heard for decades.

I always wanted a nice turnturable from Denon from the 70s. Back in the days those turntables were beautiful. Now they cost a lot :)
I got this turntable Audio Technica (http://www.crossfadr.com/2011/08/25/audio-technica-at-lp120-usb-turntable-review/). It's quite good (for the price)
Kinda a Technics 1200 copy with USB :D

Now off to RSD shopping :D

ok i understand

So I'm a big vinyl guy myself and I love the great time and effort that you put into it; that's always a positive and please bear it in mind when reading what comes next.

But what's up with all these rips? The sound is just awful. I just recently found this super thread and got so excited then when I went to listen to whatever I could download I was literally taken aback by the woefully disappointing quality of pretty everything. Granted that having to work in film post-production and mixing I have grown into a full-fledged audiophile and have some real high-end stuff I usually rip from, but I've gotten far superior rips from a barely 99 dollar belt-drive AT make. I can't fathom you not brushing your records, but seriously... do you clean them in any way? Or is it just poor hardware? Either case, you should seriously invest in a quality cartridge- that thing screeches.

Simple: I have shitty equipment and cannot afford anything higher right now because I don't work in the industry like you do. And as much as I love vinyl, a new table is way off at the bottom of my list

I understand and I'm terribly sorry if I lambasted you for it. I justify having slightly more expensive equipment (to myself) out of professional necessity but tbh, the equipment I mentioned I work on is a variable depending on financing productions demands and needs. I'm the only one to blame for my transformation into a self-righteous, entitled audio monster. Again I'm terribly sorry. You have amazing rips/edits out there and frankly I'm utterly surprised you're not in the industry considering your skill set and dedication. Keep on doing yo thing, oh vinyl one. Again, I'm sorry.

Oh I'm not offended by it - I am well aware my rips are mediocre and not of the highest quality. But what you hear is what you get when it comes to my rips, due to my turntable. I honestly have no idea if a new needle will fix the issue of surface noise, but I doubt it. And it's only with the film scores do you hear the surface noise. I said in another thread that the mainstream music I rip (mostly classick rock - I specifically mentioned Tom Petty's Don't Come Around Here No More) had almost no surface noise becuase you can't really hear it. Too much bass/drums/vocals to notice any surface noise. So a score is most definitely going to have that issue. I do eventually want a new table (and a snazzy one, too) but it's not a priority right now and I gotta work with what I got.

And coming soon:

Not trying to sound unappreciative - I'm genuinely curious.

I downloaded several albums, and have noticed some curiosities about the tracks. Firstly, many of the tracks are mixed. A single album can contain tracks recorded in 16bit, and also 24bit. Also, the tracks vary in Hz - some tracks are 48kHz, some are 96kHz. All from 1 album. And this is the case with several of the albums I downloaded. Usually, if you're doing a rip, the tracks will be consistent, as you would normally rip 1 side of the album, then the other, all using a single setting throughout. Then you split the tracks, keeping the settings the same throughout. Many tracks are in 16bit-96kHz, which is an odd choice. Why go 96kHz if you're setting it to 16bit? Usually it's 24bit for 48kHz or 96kHz. I'm no expert by any means - I'm just going by my experience and what I've learned over the years.

Also, all the albums I've tested from this thread are reading as "cutoff" or lossy/MPEG in various lossless//flac tester software. Not one album has tested as lossless. I know lossless testers are not 100% accurate, but every album I've scanned has failed, which is highly unusual. The vast majority of album rips in flac I download from this site and elsewhere test as lossless as expected, but these albums are not passing the lossless test. Spectrograms reveal the cutoffs are actually at or below 20kHz, which is troubling, especially when the tracks are supposedly 48kHz or 96kHz. A 96kHz track should not have a flat cutoff at or below 20kHz. This suggests lossy compression (or heavy filtering/processing) has been introduced before conversion to flac.

This makes me very curious as to how these tracks have been processed, for them to have such a mix of specs and failing to test as lossless. I think it's great to share these albums, but these albums do seem strange for the reasons above.

Albums I've tried include Gravity, Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic Park (Mondo), Halloween (Mondo), Escape from New York (Death Waltz) and Chopping Mall. There's no reason all of these albums should be failing the lossless tests if these are true straight rips from vinyl.

Life story? You're posting flac files which leads people to believe they are getting lossless files. I've voiced my concern that they may not be lossless, and I've posted the reasons why I have my doubts. I do not doubt your intention, but I think people should at least be aware when they are downloading files that may not be lossless.

I don't see how your turntable has anything to do with different files from the same album being in 16bit or 24 bit, or 48kHz and 96Khz, yet having a cutoff of 20Khz. You may not think any of those numbers are important, but they are to people who care about making sure their lossless files are indeed lossless. If your tracks are coming out in different formats - 16bit or 24bit or 48kHz or 96Kzh - it's because you're changing the settings in the software - the turntable wouldn't do that.

My intention was not to harass you, but simply to try and understand the reasoning for the tracks being mixed like they are.

I'm always grateful when others share their hard work with us all, but I just think it's important that people understand the importance of keeping the integrity of lossless tracks. I was simply questioning the characteristics of these tracks. I think it's reasonable to ask given the mix of tracks.

If someone wants lossless files, the Vinyl thread shouldn't be the place to turn to. This thread is for those who prefer the sound of vinyl over CD, quality be damned.

Okay, maybe not damned, but the sound of the files is more important than the quality when it comes to vinyl junkies.

Huh? Flac/lossless does not mean CD. If someone is posting flac files, then they are implying that they are lossless!! Your comment doesn't make much sense. You can make lossless files from vinyl. People do it all the time. I have lots of lossless albums from vinyl, and I make my own as well.

People shouldn't be posting flac files if they are not truly lossless.

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------


What the fuck, people. Why are you all that high about the technical stuff? Why care? Who the hell cares, really? THE SOUND IS THE SAME. And so is the music that never changes. WHAT DOES IT MATTER if it's been edited and changes frequency. YOU WON'T HEAR THE DIFFERENCE. THE POINT IS THE MUSIC. THE POINT IS TO LISTEN TO THE MUSIC. UGH.

No, it isn't!

MP3 is not the same sound quality as lossless flac. Not even close. Excuse me for caring about lossles actually being lossless. I guess it okay to you then if people just start taking low-quality 128kbps mp3 and transcoding them to flac files and claiming that they're lossless then, huh?

Do you see why this is important? Some people do that - they take crappy low-bitrate mp3 files and transcode them to flac and try to pass them off as "lossless" flac files. I'm not saying this is what's happening here, because I'm sure it isn't. But it's important that lossless files are truly lossless. That's the whole point of flac .

Huh? Flac/lossless does not mean CD.

CDs are often true lossless.

And I was talking about how the sound of vinyl is different from that of a CD.

So you're implying Dak should just start posting VBR MP3s instead because the spectrograms on his FLACs don't look good?

I agree that his files aren't the best quality in the world, but what are you gonna do about it? He's trying his best, and honestly a few pops and crackles are a small issue.

If he could make ultra mega-lossless files then he would. His turntable disagrees with him. He's just trying to make everyone happy by making it 24-bit FLAC, and preserving as much quality as possible.

Okay, fine. I can understand that. My turntable is nice but nowhere near professional, so I can certainly understand technical limitations. I agree that vinyl has a different sound than CD - that's why it's great when people post lossless vinyl rips. I just hate to hear people say "Who cares?"

All I did is inquire why every album seems to be such a mix of various formats, from 16bit to 24bit, etc. - I've never seen albums posted like that before - usually a single album will have whatever settings in the capture software/processing to flac, and it's consistent.

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------


Really. You didn't get what I mean at all. I listen to FLAC a lot and is my choice of preferance, for my own reasons, because IT IS LOSSLESS and I like lossless and because IT SOUNDS BETTER TO ME. But not because of frequency, of how many bits or all that technical stuff! OF COURSE I do prefer a FLAC over a MP3, THOUGH I don't mind a MP3 of a good quality when there's no FLAC because I'M NO FLACOPHILE. You're just complaining over the silliest thing all technical, and you forget what matters is THE MUSIC, and the music will sound the same, be it 24, 18, 343, whatever.

Okay, I understand that. And I agree that the human ear can generally not tell the difference between 48Khz and 96Khz, etc.

Again, I was only inquiring because it's still odd to see a mix like that in a single album. Everybody jumped down my throat when all I did is ask. I thanked the original poster multiple times for all the hard work he does. It does seem odd that the cutoff is at or less than 20kHz. I don't understand how the turntable itself can do that. And that does make a difference in sound quality.

There is just something about the sound of vinyl that CD can't reproduce. All of the crackling & little pops just can't be beat. And besides, all we had back in the day was vinyl & 8 track tapes. And if you were a music guru, you also had reel to reel.

oknihcap has a point - you rip a CD on iTunes, Foobar etc and it rips at a consistent quality because you tell it to. Either the turntable is completely ballsed up, needs replacing and shouldnt be used for ripping, or someone is intentionally fiddling with the settings for import. On every track.

The reason people are up in arms about the consistency of quality is just that - while we appreciate the work that goes in to producing these rips, that many of us won't be able to acquire due to their rarity - the expectation is that because of their exclusivity and rareness, they should be presented as efficiently as possible. FLAC is a great container for lossless music, but only if it's truly lossless, otherwise it's a waste of everyone's time and an utter fib.

I see people on here asking for FLAC versions of MP3 files and think to myself, you shouldn't be on here requesting FLAC if you don't truly understand the concept behind it.

thank you !!!

Been meaning to have this thread closed for a while. I've come to the conclusion that my turntable was just not meant for ripping vinyl in the highest quality that I would like it to. The signs should have been clear from the beginning: it came with a CD and program to automatically rip an entire side of a vinyl and convert it to MP3 for iTunes.

Anyway, this thread will remain locked until I get a higher quality turntable, one that was meant for this purpose.
