Granted, that is harsh. But then again you have to consider that the person listening to it may not know that you are trying to make it sound like old vinyl. Unless you make it particularlly obvious that you actually want it to sound like old vinyl the listener may just think you did a crappy recording job. Personally I've used this meathond and the less of a rolloff on either end and the less mix from the fuzz from the record the newer it will sound and vice versa. It's ultimately up to you though how you want it to sound. regards -Reuben -----Original Message----- From: Florin Andrei [mailto:florin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Fri 10/24/2003 1:22 PM To: linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Subject: RE: [linux-audio-user] ... like an old vinyl On Wed, 2003-10-22 at 20:14, Reuben Martin wrote: > First: Using an equalizer, kill all frequencies below ~600 and above ~2k. Use a graphic EQ for this. (The two values are just examples, you can play with both frequencies to get the desired sound you're looking for.) That's pretty harsh. Recent vinyl records actually have a pretty good frequency response. > Second: get a recording of the inside blank track that comes after the last song of a noisy record. Loop this noise and mix it over top of the song once you've done the band pass filter from step one. It's actually the dust motes that contribute the most to the "vinyl feel". It should be fun to simulate that, actually. Should be like... lemme see... white noise shot through narrow and tall envelopes. Pretty much like the attack phase of the piano sound, except that the parameters are different (hence it sounds more like "plastic" than "metal"). -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
