Or maybe you could just stick your index finger near the center of the record and speed it up manually? :fine: :lol:

Hmm... 1rpm would be really interesting! :smoke:

Edit: I've thrown the files into Adobe Audition and fixed the time on all three tracks. And Zero Gravity really sounds odd now. I honestly prefer the slower paced version and I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe it's because it sounds more like Tangerine Dream than it's supposed to be, but whatever. Not a big fan of Watching You, it's not bad but not really good either. And Conquistador is just boring ever since the release of the preview.

Can't wait for the entire album however, the four tracks so far are 'al right' to 'amazing'. And with more coming I think we'll be getting some more really good tracks! :nod:

It's a common misconception that that 'll do the job properly. It's because you also speed up the way the laws of physics work.

Your stylus is like a rally car riding a road with holes and rocks. Compared to a 33rpm record, a 45rpm record is a road with less holes and bumps per meter. If you record a car driver on film, riding a road with bigggg, loooooong, bumps....and let him drive slowwwwwwly.... and you postprocess the recording later by speeding it up it looks odd too.

I have no idea how such a "speed-it-up" software works but I assume it must be hard to "fake" the pitches exactly the same way as you recieve the turntable cartridge reading of a vinyl track at the correct speed.
You don't have a driving belt in your turntable that you can simple replace to a wider keyway on the motor shaft do you? It use to be seen under the turntable platter.

No I can't reach the belt, but it doesn't really matter if it doesn't adjust the speed at which it's supposed to rotate anyway. Audition has a whole bunch of options for speed and pitch. It works really good and I used the previews on the website to adjust the pitch. It's not perfect, but until someone else does a rip, it's the best I'm going to have until then :(

Aha...Oh Snap. I see the problem. I guess I'll have some rip-off to do a.s.a. my vinyls arrives. :)

OOh YES! I love Moby. Thanks you so very much Kanta for the great news! :clap3:
The first track I think of from Moby is that one called "The Sun Never Stops Setting". :mrgreen:

And the loudness war still rages on.

In a "digital download" world maybe it would make sense to release a "quieter" version for "connoisseurss" in addition to the regular "loundess-war-enabled" version. It's a win-win - diehard collectors will buy both, average Joes will buy the loud one, we will buy the quieter one :)

Well, at least the vinyl recording looks sensible compared to the other one.

Still haven't listened the albums in question to OR seen similar comparison photos of the Essentials & Rarities vinyl and CD versions, but I heard that the vinyl version was full of loudness war as well.

A shame, for example the vinyl version of Depeche Mode's Playing the Angel is clearly superior to the loudnessloudness CD version, long gone are the days when you could expect the vinyl version to still be more properly mastered...

... but in the case of these 12'' singles, I guess they've been done well? In any rate, I haven't received my copies yet and if they've been shoddily packed, well, that'll be just f'n dandy. :P

Most intriguing. But eh, "hey, here's part 1 and soon you can pay more for PART 2!" is kind of weird. And I've never heard of MyPlay Direct before (or maybe I have, since the page is quite familiar).

Not gonna lie, the deluxe boxes do intrigue me, but eh, we'll see. ;)
