Streaming Versus Vinyl - Can You Hear A Difference? 

😂😂😂😂

Mee too

Me too

Yep

Yeap I agree vinyl more smooth and relaxed

Because vinyl has a different mixing and mastering to cd

@@jaygopinath1694 This isn't CD they are comparing to, this is vs streaming. So it depends on which mix and master the streaming service is using as the source. I.E a flac will sound terrible if the source material is a terrible mix. A good mix going to MP3 will sound like a good mix that ended up on vinyl.

@@skorpers that's not my point at all read before you comment

@@jaygopinath1694 I read, the problem is that you don't understand how audio works, so you lash out when you learn. You literally said "different mix" even though there's no evidence in the video that the two even come from a different mix. And it's also not talking about a CD. The video didn't mention CD's the comment didn't mention CD's. You can literally record a vinyl album and then convert it to an MP3 file and it will sound identical to the vinyl. You can make an MP3 from the original recording from the studio, and use the same sample for your vinyl. Same thing. Nothing that you are saying applies to what was being said. CD's also never had different mixes, they just had wrong mixes because they were given the same compensation in equalization that they did for tape and vinyl, however the CD's didn't have the same losses as analog which make that redundant. When they realized this error then CD mixes became identical, and higher quality.

@@skorpers Does one have to consider how a song is mixed when recording to vinyl or is that commonly a mastering issue to determine? Mastering for vinyl is different. Particularly in that the amount of low end you can put on vinyl is limited, as too much will cause the cutting lathe to jump out of the groove. Mastering and mixing for vinyl is slightly different thays a fact so i don't why you're so confused about what i meant lol its cool i not mad tho you seem to be i was not lasting out i was just stated a fact Mixing for vinyl - basic rules The recording engineer has largely been freed from the limitations of equipment dictating how creativity should be tailored to work within a given medium. Working with vinyl, however, requires a return to awareness of what the medium can and cannot do - there are undeniable laws of physics at work here. The first aspect is playing time. Increased level on disc is created by increased lateral excursion in the groove and this eats up the disc surface reducing playing time. Your disc mastering engineer should be able to advise on levels versus playing time. Take great care with the extremes of frequency. High frequencies such as cymbals, some brass instruments, or vocal sibilance can cause real problems. There is already HF pre-emphasis applied prior to cutting in the form of the RIAA curve and if the signal has high levels of HF there is a possibility of cutter head damage, or an unpleasant effect on disc. The mastering engineer will employ acceleration limiters to protect his gear but may also have to process your master to get around this. Low frequencies have a different problem particularly if there are equal levels of opposing phase information present. This increases the vertical movement that cheaper cartridges will find difficult to track as the groove goes alternately shallow/narrow to deep/wide. Although this could be cut, it is likely that you would have an unplayable disc that nobody was happy with. To overcome this, a low frequency crossover system would be employed that allows the LF to be reordered and cut such that the LF is cut common in both channels. If this problem had been created by errors in mic technique then it would be advisable to use an oscilloscope to monitor out-of-phase material. However, some effects units can create extreme out-of-phase conditions that can be uncuttable. The vinyl disc doesn’t have the full usable dynamic range of modern digital media and this has to be borne in mind when mixing for it. If you make the right adjustments during mixing, the transfer to disc can be a relatively painless process. Otherwise you leave it to the skill of the cutting engineer to realise your mix on disc; he will have to apply what processing he needs to achieve that with no guarantee that it is true to what you had in mind when mixing."

The second one sounds better

Spot on

​@@glennmcdonald7673 The 2nd sounds warmer, but is it purely because of the vinyl, or is it caused by something else...?

You all do know that before a vinyl is pressed. The original music needs to be boosted in.some sound spectrum and suppressed in some sound spectrum to make up for the diamond cutters tone arms inherent limitations with ability to cut a grroove in the master metal platter . Some sound cannot be reproduced accurately as is the limitation of vinyl medium. It depends on the sound enginners's taste and skill. Vinyl has physical and laws of physics limitation. Digital is better able to reproduce the original sound. Vinyl deteriorates over time and number of plays and stylus wear out too.

This is a good turntable, ordinary turntable sounds very color and poor low

Must be awesome to have bat hearing 🦇 😂

​@@jlo8775lol

OK

Cool

Digital has more dynamic range than vinyl.

​@@roofpizza1250 While that's true, most digital releases compress the living hell out of the dynamics. On the other hand, most Vinyl releases usually retain atleast some of the dynamic range.

Which was 1st played?

@@yogawithcorey6042 the digital for sure was the first. This is somewhat unfair as the vinyl was mastered by Kevin Gray, and I have no idea who did the digital. This means there was much more attention to detail on the vinyl

Lol

😂

Spot on, I said the same thing myself in different words (about 20 odd posts above 👆)

Yes,vinyl has better bass response and mid range response than digital, which to my ears ,the streaming sounds compressed in my opinion.

​@@notmanatee2445The streaming version is likely taken from a modern remaster whereas the vinyl is an older pressing.

Awesome, thank you!

It would be complete analog from the turntable into the preamp/amp, into the speakers…

Thanks for sharing!

I knew the first was digital and second was vinyl, but the problem in vinyl it's always lacking the umpff there's no boom no bass, I also find the clarity and the blackness better in digital

I agree

Exactly.

and the source is artificial manipulated narrow bandwidth , COMPRESSED ROCK!!!

yes, but the difference in character is still obvious.

Ok

Lol

Ok

Haha
