Vinyl; as follows,
I think the things about vinyl that keep it here are,
1) the artwork 2) inserts! Sleeve art! 3) the process, getting the vinyl out, checking for scratches in the light, setting it on the player, getting the stylus/ needle at the ready, watching the auto action of the dropping of the licorice pizza and the magical way the arm moves to the edge of the album. 4) and believe it or not, the static and extra noise that you hear first, the white noise before it is replaced with stereophonic sound. Brilliant. Note: Adidass , maybe your shrug could be replaced by a knowing nod if the right person had the record collection and the listening gear. Superior sound is good, don't get me wrong, I'm a Steely Dan man from way back. Sound counts, for alot. However you ever try scratching or dj mixing a c.d.? |
^^ No, I'm not into scratching or dj-ing, but I'd guess neither are 90% of the people that buy vinyl nowadays.
@jgd: So should we expect a big comeback of tapes? They also have crappier sound, wear easily and make it really difficult for you to skip tracks. *unsure* |
I started to collect vinyl back in 2004 and had a pretty respectable small collection but I sold them all in 2007 when I thought I was moving to the U.K. Since then I have noticed the trend of collecting it starting to rise, especially with newer artists, and big retail chains like Best Buy has started selling turntables and records. I really love the analog sound, it's a lot more full and round, it almost sounds like you're actually in the recording studio with the band. However they do take up a lot of space and are not portable playable. Still if you've got the space and want the sound then more power to you.

Nobody's Perfect; as follows,
Yes! I have this record of Muddy Waters and you can hear the sound of his chair scooting across the top of the linoleum, it's f'n brilliant.:afro: The C.d. had it digitally removed, I was looking for more backround noise( can you believe it) on C.D.... silly local.:rofl:

I only have one vinyl record, so my emotional stock in this is pretty minimal.
I've always wanted to collect a little though. |
I bought my own automatic record player less than a year ago, and I'm only buying albums that were recorded on analog or were meant to be played on Vinyl only (I'm looking at you, Steve Albini). So i'm part of that crowd, whether I like it or not.

I don't understand the difference between analog and digital sound, can someone explain it to me?
|
Analog recorded on tape and mixed via multi tracking, whereas Digital is not recorded on tape and it's mixed on things like Pro Tools.
I think. |
