CarlSeibert Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 The MP3 download that comes with the new Ryan Adams LP (Cardinology) has leadin/out groove and surface noise effects. Maybe I don't get out enough or something, but this strikes me as pretty strange. There must be a story behind it. Does anybody know? -Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Not likely -- they even have a preset on the Clavia Nord Modular to synthesize record crackle, it's probably something like that or a sample. It's the audio equivalent of scratched celluloid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlSeibert Posted May 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 It COULD be a needle drop. But normal people clip off leadins and leadouts when they separate the tracks. There is one track where there are a couple of faint ticks. And a bit of surface noise on another. A little too perfect to be sloppiness. Too subtle to be a canned effect. There's got to be a point to it. Although maybe it's only on Adams' head. -Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grawk Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I still think it's an official needledrop. I have a couple of digital copies that came with LPs that are like that. I dont' really care either way tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont' really care either way tho. The MP3 sounds fine, so indeed, it doesn't matter. Of course, that also means, why go to the extra trouble? It's just the journalist in me. I want to know. What WERE they thinking? -Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Because the LP probably uses a different master from the CD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wouldn't even conjecture why until I had my own opinion on whether or not it was a true needledrop or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
