You'll also need a good turntable and pre-amp to
get the most out of
the vinyl. When weighing up the cost, bear in mind that the
remastering people producing official CD re-releases will probably be
working from studio master tapes, except for very rare or old
material.
yes, but they normally let a monkey into the studio at some point and it
changes all the eq settings and makes it more of a re-(un)mastering.
I've heard all the funkadelic records got remastered and they took the
'p' out of the p-funk.
Personally, having looked at the time it would take to
record all my
shellac and vinyl, and allowing for the possibility that some subtle
properties of analogue recording would be lost in the transfer, I
decided to keep a couple of turntables around.
yeah - you'll be glad of all those lovely records when you can fit your
entire music collection onto a pea and you drop it down a drain or
something.
