Cool. Do you want me to ship a disk or put it up on cmep or my ftp site?

It's pretty clean as far as vinyl noise.

Aw crap now I have to get my vinyl ripping shit together. I confess to only having a best-of collection of Derek and Clive at the ready. I made the selections myself. I have cmep'd them, in two parts. Not Safe for Work, Children, Wives or Anybody Else For That Matter.

squirell nutkin · 03-01-2010, 10:29 PM

OK will cmep tomorrow.

OK How OCD should I be about my audio quality? I was using audacity and I've ripped about six or seven albums. I was working on a particularly subtle Jean Redpath track from Song of The Seals, "Davvy Faa" and to get rid of the little bit of crackle using audacity it would seriously distort the sound of the harp even at very low levels of fixing.

Then I realized that I have Adobe's Sound Booth which has a much better noise removal tool and I tried it and it was really amazing at taking out only the crackle and not any of the subtleties of the harp or her voice.

Now I am trying really hard not to go and delete everything I've ripped so far and re-record them with Sound booth.

Another option, but I'm not sure if it gains me anything is to export as a 16 bit WAV file and clean it up in Sound booth.

decisions...

Some stuff is in worse shape and needs the extra help, some doesn't. If you've got lots of vinyl, this can be a long job. How good it needs to be depends on how much the noise bothers you.

glatt · 03-03-2010, 07:21 AM

You also need to consider what your time is worth, and if it's available on CD or iTunes. Oh, and how often you will listen to it after you convert it.

If you are having fun doing this, then none of that really matters, because you can consider the journey to be the main thing and the end result to just be the icing on the cake.

squirell nutkin · 03-03-2010, 08:05 AM

All good points, especially to a rational mind. I am only ripping stuff that is out of print or really hard to find. Everything that is available on cd I'm not bothering with.

I think pitting "How much will I listen to this?" against "How noisy is this?" is a good equation for making that decision.

I may go back and re-do a couple of them, but the rest, not so much.

I am enjoying the journey and it is enriching to learn about editing audio and audio files this way.

xoxoxoBruce · 03-03-2010, 08:20 AM

You probably ripped the ones you wanted the most, first.
