THE CHARM AND FINESSE OF VINYL CAPTURED ON CD
The Brief To produce a clean transfer from a vinyl LP onto CD.
The Process After sourcing the disc it is cleansed on the Pro-Ject VC-S record cleaner.
Transfer of programme content at 24-bit 96kHz resolution using a state of the art analogue to digital converter for maximum quality to a Mac using a Rega Planar 1 turntable.
Assessment and analysis of music file utilising studio quality iZotope RX 6 Standard software.
Sensitive reduction of surface noise and removal of undesirable elements such as clicks, crackle, rumble and other various artefacts related to the pressing process. Retention of existing detail being of paramount importance. Each track then painstakingly headphone checked in real time to further reduce or eliminate remaining undesirable elements where possible.
Tracks burned to music CD.
You are buying PRIMARILY the LP with a restored transfer to cd as a backup copy to the vinyl disc.
The Project and outcome
A charming and dynamic 60 year old recording that still sounds superb today. One of the very best releases showcasing the new wonder of stereo! Various record companies issued these demonstration recordings but this is up there with the best and has become a classic demo disc. An exciting mixture of excellently recorded sounds from a bowling alley to a New York subway train as well as from a Symphony Orchestra to the sultry tones of Nat King Cole.
