hmm, as Steevio pointed out, the sound can even be better from a vinyl rip if done with good equipment. I bought special needles for the job actually (ortofon nightclub E I think) which really made everything sound great. And Rodec has a vinyl cleaning solution which does wonders for even old vinyl that has been battered in many club sessions.LouisVee wrote:haha same here. I realised that my vinyl rips were equivalent in quality of a ±128k mp3 -.- its ok to play at home, but never tried thoses rips in a club.PsyTox wrote:I once began at digitalizing my vinyl, but after a week or so I was so completely fed up I gave up.
But as I said: the real problem with digitizing your collection is the utterly dull work it takes, especially if you're both lazy and perfectionist like me.
Took ages to properly record them, then fill in the ID3 tags, load them in TS and add a picture of the artwork,...PsyTox.

like i mentioned, save your DJ needles and just buy a dedicated archiving needle; the one i suggested is only US$65 or so on Amazon.LouisVee wrote:Since I have switched to mixing with 95%CD now mostly because of the money issue [sorry for the blasphemy!], I don't really have the budget of buying pretty good 150-200$ needles -.- for that price, I could actually buy all songs I really wanna rip on mp3!
