Back on my bullschiit. Another vinyl mix for Mother's Day. This time straight from the Skoll/Lokius stack into a Korg master recorder at double rate DSD (dsd128), then converted to 24 bit, 176.4K PCM using my own conversion software and filters (soon to be released free & open source). For all but one of the tracks I used the Denon DL-103 Moving Coil cartridge straight into the Skoll (no step-up transformer).

Real happy with the sonic results! Only very minimal fades and volume adjustments in Pro Tools, then used Reaper batch convert with Airwindows plugins for dither and overall gain boost. No de-crackling, though I did manually remove some of the more egregious pops. Wanted to keep it as pure as possible.

DM me if you want a download link! Tracks below, and yes, I put Yellowman tracks on a Mother's Day mix

1. Peanuts Taylor - Mamma La La
2. Astrud Gilberto - Windy
3. Astrud Gilberto - Manha de Carnival
4. Bill Withers - Lonely Town, Lonely Street (Live)
5. Johnny & The Attractions - Let's Get Together
6. Bobby Ellis - Step Softly
7. The Clash - Rudie Can't Fail
8. Jonzun Crew - Space Cowboy
9. Grandmaster Flash & The Furious 5 - Super Rappin' No. 2
10. Yellowman - Mr Chin
11. Yellowman - L.O.V.E.
12. Yellow Magic Orchestra - 1000 Knives
13. Vangelis - The Plum Blossom
14. Roxy Music - Tryptic
15. Milton Nascimento - Cravo e Canela
16. Neil Young & The Stray Gators - New Mama (Live)
17. Roxy Music - True to Life
18. The B52s - Topaz

Buy me a Kraken and we will talk. Omg we are making great use of dual ice makers on our new fridge. Back to entertaining. Oh and when did Oklahoma change from red to pansy blue? I must have missed it.

Kraken ordered. I'll forward the Kraken trackin' number as soon as I get it.

That’s quite the mix there!

You sure that is five channel? It looks more monaural.

 

[Ripper2860]

Don't you mean monoral?

Could be yours for the low price of $0!

That will teach you to stick to name brand products like GE, Ford, Orville Redenbacher, maybe Schwin. I did GE and my group named the rest. Did that help? Those are the PG rated responses.

Hmmmm. A GE phono cartridge or......this. Probably about the same.

I have a Hana on my VPI table and it is excellent.

Good to know. Thanks!

Over on the "Post a photo of your turntable" thread there's a regular who's been gushing about some really affordable but supposedly well made Chinese MC carts. I think he got them off Alibaba

You don't take requests, do you?

Turn it over, it’ll be fine. Pointy part down. Sorry to get technical on you.

What kind of requests are we talking about?

There's an album I've just been really hoping I'd find a vinyl rip of, more than any others and I've never seen it. I don't know how any thing like this could be done short of me sending you a record, its just something I'm always asking people about. The album is "The Turning Wheel" by Spellling.

Aw bummer, I don't have that one. Back in my DJing days when I would get a request it was usually to turn it down

If you already own the album and are just looking for a rip of it, you could try Soulseek. Lots of vinyl rips on there.

Is that a private Usenet tracker?
