Vinyl Reviewthe best just gets better - Version: 1.71, 8/30/2005 06:23AM PST

this recent release of vinyl osx really brings some welcome new features. i have noticed that tick, pops, low-rumbling and high scratchy sounds are even more realistic now, and have a deeper more three-dimensional sound. the pops in particular seem to resonate more, and the new version seems to add some subtle analog sound degeration at random intervals as well, a really nice touch, imo. as to the e-mail address question, i dont think that my spam has increased much since i began using vinyl, as i still get the same 15 or 20 spam e-mails per day that i always got, and they go straight into the junk folder and are then deleted anyway. acutally, i think the e-mail address is only used as a asci-variable by which the plug-in triggers differing personalized sound output. i say this after trying entereing different e-mail addresses and subsequently hearing alternate vinyl sound modificaitons to the original track. in all, a wonderful and highly useful bit of software that will be appreciated by today's cutting-edge digital music artists and nostalgia buffs alike.

Lets see, it's freeware, but you have to give up your email address. NO THANKS. I get ZERO spam on all 3 of my email accounts. I like to keep it that way. I can't see why they would need that only for spamming or selling it. If your making it freeware then just let us download it and cut the crap.

Vinyl ReviewHas anyone actually used this? - Version: 1.7, 10/15/2004 08:19AM PST

First, a reason for this is to simulate the sound of an old record. Say, for instance, you're doing a period show, and you can't get your pit orchestra to actually BE scratchy, you can make 'em sound scratchy.

But not with this plugin, apparently. Aside from asking for registration every time I've relaunched the host program, it doesn't return the right info, so the host tells me something is wrong with the plugin, and/or crashes. This is true with both Audacity and Amadeus II.

Wish it worked. Not much of an ad for their pay plugins as it is now.

wonderful little app. now all my cold, sterile, all-too-perfect digital tunes sound the way i actually remember they used to way back when. simply delightful. i guess the young folks today have no appreciation of the way things used to be.

"He knew all the tricks, dramatic irony, metaphor,
bathos, puns, parody, litotes and... satire. He was vicious."

Wow, it's like this program said something mean about your Mothers!

Obviously, it's merely intended to simulate the sound of playing a vinyl record. No, not the sound of an audiophile playing it, but the sound of us regular shlubs playing it, with all the snap, crackle, pop, hiss, wow and flutter. It's just a special effect filter. That's all.

(And someone always pipes up to point out that Vinyl Is Superior To Digital. Yes, in some ways it may be, but ditching the attendant problems (see snap, crackle etc. above) for us ordinary folk more than makes up for it.)

I'd guess not based on this app! Vinyl is much higher res than cd,dvd,sacd or any of the others.

Hot damn -- I've been hoping something would come along to help me get rid of all this darn clarity and lack of white noise that showed up when I bought my favorite albums on CD. Can this change them back to mono, too? The stereophonic sound is driving me crazy! ;-)
