How To Pirate A Vinyl Record

[DudeAsInCool]

That's right, you heard me. Ok, this may be low tech, but Lifehacker ran a column today from QT.Net on how to duplicate a vinyl record at home. So hurry up, run to the store, and get the supplies...when you are done you can go to the club and DJ for your friends...

I'd have to kill you if you did!!

Don't worry about it, I've got a copies of RUExperienced, Axis, Electric Ladyland and Band of Gypsies in vinyl somewhere collecting dust...

Nutty. Be a good way to make sure your originals stay intact, while playing your copies.

I thought that was one of many reasons why people rip vinyl to their hard drive. :)

Rip....? Vinyl......?

Does not compute!

I don't compute much.

Run a line from your stereo to the line in on your computer sound card. Lots of software will put it on your harddrive. The problem is it doesn't separate the tracks and it only rips in real time. Then you have to separate the tracks if you want and so on. It takes some time but once you get the hang of it ...... you still won't like it.

You can rip from the radio, tapes, vinyl the same way.

Sounds like a lot of work... I think I will patent a state-of-the-art 45 drive.

Honestly, I'd have to worry about the person that rips vinyl.

Oh, wait, it's that "warmer sound" thing isn't it?

It is always warmer when your music has that sound similar to a cracking fire running over it.

[Redneck4sure]

For me it has nothing to do with warmer sound. It has to do with albums that were never released on cd. I'd buy the cd before I would rip an album I have but if there is no cd to be bought then your choices are limited.

You can also run the files through a filter to remove the snap, crackle and pop. I've heard some albums that were vinyl rips and they sound as good as cd rips.
