I was just wondering how many people actually buy Records? Personally, i do. I tend to do a (small) bit of DJing for friends and stuff. Expensive hobby, but worth it when you see the smile on your friends face when you hand him your new tape. (aaaah.) |

NO! |

I buy the vinyl and burn it to CD, rather than buy both. A large portion of the voiceless 'IDM' we listen to sounds just as good (though different) at both 33 and 45. For instance my favorite AE song is 'Laughing Quarter' off of Envane played at 33 rather than the intended 45. It makes for a nearly fifteen minute emotional epic. |

i'll buy records occasionally, i like cds because they are easier to transfer to other forms, like tapes and mp3s. |

I'm generally strictly digital nowadays; CD & MP3s only...probably haven't bought any vinyl since the early 90s... (except this week, when I just had to have Astrob Pt2 .... fun using a turntable again, I guess, but I'd prefer to have it on CD as well...Hopefully I'll find a decent recording on MP3 soon and then I'll retire this 12"...) I used to dream of a single little box the size of packet of fags you could stick your entire collection in, probably because I've moved so many times since I left home and carting a large amount of CDs about is such a hassle...I was getting close with my laptop but I reckon I'm gonna get a decent little Mp3 HardDisk player soonish (an Ipod or something similar with a bigger HD)... |

|
no! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

with €25 a month and no turntable, it would be a little expensive for me... besides they're harder to find than usual cds (and usual idm cds are hard to find sometimes too)... and i always listen with headphones in my bed or when i'm at my computer... so... no (but maybe i'd like to) :) |

i'm broke and as a result get a little down these days not being able to go for pints, buy a sweet girl some flowers or get some nice PANTS,but when i see a vinyl i like and get it to-hell, i feel so happy! Last one was "burningn'n tree"-oh yes! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
burningn'n tree on vinyl... did you order it? i can't even find it on cd in stores. (feed me weird things neither btw) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah...just found it in a shop and they said that warp was doing a clearout and sent it over!.....sweet. if i found FMWD+T on vinyl then i'd cream those pants i don't have! You don't have FMWT on cd? i'm almost temped to rectify that! |

I don't buy Vinyl for several reasons... Using plugins and altering the speed +/- 20% on an MP3 makes the same change as using 45/33rpm changes. I broke my turntable scratching Beastie Boys "Intergalactic". It was quite good, I was scratching the acapella vocal mix, whilst the instrumental played on CD. Whilst vinyl sounds nice and I'm not very obsessive about CD quality, it is not as good quality as CDs despite what "audiophiles" say. The lower quality and difficulty/expense in connecting turntables to a PC make it an inferior medium for sampling or ripping MP3s. I don't have the shelf space for vinyl. Vinyl distorts in the heat, before now I have gotten vinyl home only to find it warped so badly that I had to press it under my matress for months to sort it out. Vinyl scratch = baaaaddd! CD scratch = No difference, unless you've taken a scalpel to it. The lack of spines on vinyl makes it a pain to find records. I get annoyed at paper (rather than jewel) cased CDs too. I tend to use music as "background sound" rather than a main activity. Getting up to turn vinyl over every 10 minutes or so would really annoy me. Especially when I'm studying/making sounds on my PC (yes, I make sounds on software synths whilst listening to other music). Okay quality turntables are so much more expensive than a good CD player. You can't get portable vinyl players (okay 7" decks, but you'd look a bit of a gimp carrying a pre-amped 7" deck connected to headphones). CDs make pretty multicoloured confetti when you through them against the wall, vinyl just makes an ugly mess. |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

But i only bought the Astrobotnia because i had to, i would have so bought it on CD if it was in that format |

I spend loads of ¤ in vynils man ! I usually make copy of cd (hooo!) and after deep listenings, if its rocks then I purchase it in vynil. ..adn you can make lots of things with a turntable ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
by the way I have lots of ae vynils but there are some I can't find even in secondhand sell (mainly the first eps) and if someone see the original '80 African Headcharge vynils (on-u sound') please tell me ! |

Ceri Jc; "Whilst vinyl sounds nice and I'm not very obsessive about CD quality, it is not as good quality as CDs despite what "audiophiles" say." My good self; "Please listen to Cordialotron on Vinyl compared to CD, It's all the proof you need that Vinyl is better then CD, The clicks and the like are annoying tho if you dont take care of vinyl." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I may add that some Vinyl has it's sound limited (making it very poor compared to CDs), I have some prodigy stuff on vinyl from around 1993 that is no use to me in a live set. If you want to know why and when vinyl is/was limited to a certain sound level I'm sure someone here can tell you why in much greater detail than myself. Jand would possibly be best to ask if interested. |

I didn't argue that vinyl is less pleasurable to listen too- merely that it is a lower quality (audio wise) medium. You can get utilities on PCs that make CDs sound like vinyl anyway and besides, artists should add any intentional clicks or hiss to the CD version, e.g. "don't leave" by Faithless |

anyone here like tape? kidding -although the quickest/cheapest way i have of recording all thoose lovely joyrex/warp streams is with my trusty recordable walkman. As a result i've tones of TDK's etc with slightly rough r4cordings on 'em. I also use it to record vinyl mixes i do myself and i'm quite proud of my lo-fi tape collection with homemade covers and scribbles! I know about MD's, stream interceptors etc, but this is a limited PC, i'm broke and i'm sorta attached to the messy lttle bastards! |

tapes is kind, reminds me of childhood. I make mixes or lives that I record on a tape, and I listen to it with friends in car travelling :it's like: yeah, guys ! I made a tape ! let's give it a try : poum tchak wwwwwrrzzzz bowww ha ha ha! you can make artisanal flangers with sun-exposed tapes :) |
||||||||

I once saw a fly for a tape-jay contest ! were there pitchable tape decks ? ha ha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"you can make artisanal flangers with sun-exposed tapes :)" I'm gonna try that with some BoC! I use tapes only in my car, but they're okay... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yay for tapes! wonder how quantum computing will affect things? or neural nets? iitelligent broadcasting systems direct to yer head? thought-reactive mixing desks? mood-alligned nano tunes? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Yes. I'm pretty much like you. |

you're right Keyfumbler ! thefaster the interface, the more spontaneous the control. so, no interface between brain and machines = total control of the sound ! we're going cybernetics. |
