Synth clips!

And just now I got some analog sythesizer sound clips from my buddy Ned in Portland, OR. He just picked up some used synths and is getting used to them.

Analog-to-Digital

A few years ago I realized that I wanted to digitally record music from my large collection of vinyl records. My audio-savy buddy Ned turned me on to the Sony Mini Disc. They called it a Net MD Walkman. The early models allowed you to go straight from the output of your tuner/amp to the Mini Disc Recorder/Player. Play the record, hit record, and then you have a digital copy of the vinyl record, or a variety of songs from different albums. I could go on and on, but go here to get more info:

My albums are a big part of my musical life, so my little Net MD Walkman has been great for me.

Pangloss, I downloaded Audacity per Glatt's recommendation, but have yet to get a preamp for my ancient turntable. I have a mountain of vinyl that is not available on cd at any rate.

I miss the pacing of a vinyl life. Now I can put Itunes on shuffle and listen to music for 3 weeks without ever hearing the same song twice.

There was something about having to get up and flip over the doors or van morrison halfway through that gave us a moment's pause for reflection.

More than just something. Albums forced artists to think about how songs would flow together, how one song would follow another. And that nice "crackling bacon" sound added a tangible reminder of the physicality of the medium. And the tactile and visual pleasure of just holding and looking at the album cover...how can one replace that with a CD or just a naked song on an iPod?

Most audiophiles still swear by vinyl with tube amps. Sweet.

Thanks guy, it's been forever trying to get in another act because nobody wants a greying 42 yo for originals and the cover acts are kind of spotty. This one seems promising... the song list is very rock oriented (I really have to bring it) but geared towards playing loud to a lot of drinking, partying people. And that is fine.
