I just saw some for Eminem, Katy Perry, Vampire Weekend…etc
I thought no one really owns record players anymore. Are they making new modern day record players?
Turntables (record players) are enjoying a resurgence of interest – they still are the purest sound – CDs clean up every breath and nuance whereas vinyl is the real deal.
Hi, i know you can buy new music on cd and cassete still, but what about vinyl record? im talking about music released 2000-2009.I think it would be awesome to have some taking back sunday, brand new, the used, something coropate, and jacks mannequin on vinyl record to play at parties we throw here. thanks for any help. and if you can where can you buy them at?!
yes you can… amazon.com has a pretty good collection of music from today. I just ordered jack johnson, paramore, and dashboard confessional on vinyl.
I mean, granted I don’t have a record player and listen to music on cd’s. Do you have to buy a certain type of record player to listen to these records? Why would you want too? Do they sound better? Is it the nostalgia?
Almost all the record stores are selling these records. But I don’t get it. There must be a market, or they wouldn’t sell. Who the heck is buying them and why?
People who love buying music get them. When you buy vinyl, you get a thing, a big old heap of stuff that you can touch, look at and feel. And yes, they DO sound better.
I’m very interested in vinyl records but I’m not sure if I want to start investing in them. I heard they are extremely easy to damage and they are also not the most portable (though if I do start buying vinyl I’ll probably get a record player that can convert to MP3.) I love the way they look and I’ve heard that they sound amazing. From what I’ve seen they are also more expensive than CDs, so I don’t want to start paying a lot for them if I’m really not sure. Opinions?
My OPINION is no, it is a waste of resources. As an experienced recording engineer / producer, I see no reason to go back to an inferior platform for music storage. Vinyl has it’s own "sound" which is coloration from equipment not capable of reproducing the full audio spectrum cleanly. So, if you desire this coloration, think it sounds better to you, and consider it good, get vinyl. If you like large pictures on sleeves (which is pretty cool) get vinyl. If you don’t mind putting up with playback location limitations, snaps, pops, static, dust, warping, speed issues, needle replacement, bass feedback, eventual groove wear, get vinyl. If you want to simply imitate that vinyl sound, roll off the bass end a lot, and treble end a little and that will cover most of it. (Yes, there is a lot more to it than that, but I’m trying to keep it simple)
Vinyl does not sound ten times better than CDs, but it might be ten times more colored or inaccurate.
I have spray painted some old vinyl records and im wondering what pens to use to draw on them. They are to decorate my daughters room and she wants to write her name on them.
I would use paint markers
Colored sharpies will work as long as the records are painted with a flat to semi gloss paint.
Sharpie will not absorb into a high gloss finish
