Black Friday RSD coming up this week. Some good highly limited stuff coming out, including a vinyl pressing of Death Grips' Gov't Plates. Also a split between The Bug and... Earth?? Weird but cool.Missed out on the color vinyl edition of Sleater-Kinney's whole discography. Now I can't afford the eBay prices. Poo.
Having said that, there recordings are so loud and insane I don't see any sonic benefit to vinyl, other than just for fun.
CD mastering, or is it in the mix itself? I don't bother with vinyl cut from CD, but everybody's recordings are loud and insane these days. I've pretty much stopped listening to digital entirely, it's just too exhausting. Case in point. Devin Townsend's Z2. Dev's mastering guy originally had it at DR9, and Dev decided to push it to DR5 for the retail CD release, you know, for fun. Geeeee thanks! I'm so glad it will sound like complete ass, just like Epicloud!
There's no sonic benefit to the vinyl per se. It's more about:1. Getting to play it on my vinyl rig which sounds bitchin.2. Having a physical copy of the previously digital-only Gov't Plates album with redone artwork and liner stuff (plus a little replica of the license plate apparently?)I'm someone who vastly prefers physical albums to digital only ones.
Do you want crates or some sort of shelving unit?
