When i sample vinyl i dont want to hear the static, cliping and the record playing in the background, i want it to sound clean as possible. I know many producers who sample from vinyl but it sounds very clean. Is there any way to get rid of this - new needle? quality of the record? sample from cd? I know thats how vinyl is supposed to sound, and im aware that i could get alot of shit for this question, but if theres a way to eliminate static and the above, let me know.

DONT SAMPLE VINYL THEN,

your ears are shot ,your to use to listening to music that has been digitally recorded thats why i dont like CD's you dont get a TRU sound,

if you want to get rid of that sound then buy good records usually from the record store not from the dollar bins or from the thrift store i mean really go out and find some records that are clean and well taken care of
,if you want toget rid of the sound you neeed to clean your records and maintain them after every use. wipe them down before you play and after you playCHECK THE STICKY NOTE ON THE TOP OF THIS FORUM VINYL CARE.

plain and simple if you dont want that static sound and the rest of the sounds that come with vinyl then stick to that digital sound

also if your running a DAW some plug-ins are designed specifically to remove crackle, hum and whatever noise you dont want. But honestly when you dealing with records thats what you get. You may need to select better records, keep your needle clean and clean off your records before sampling.

There are some real good progs to do this..

It could be that ur runnin ur levels wrong on a sh!t turntable / sh!t needle / sh!t pre/mixer etc etc which would cause more crackle and sh!t quality of sound, electrical hum, turntable rumble... etc etc

It could be that and not ur records, try on a nice set up

adobe audition has this feature where you can remove the hiss, the clicks and the pops
its what i use when the noise becomes a problem

Just keep in mind when using these plug ins that you eq the sample after your done. Because when you remove the noise from the sample alot of the time you lose some of the samples "sparkle"

word!
the thing is with any destructive digital processing, the program is sort of improvising....it only removes what it was programmed to remove, but like the last dude said, you may lose more than the pops...you may lose that snap & crackle.....honestly, if the sound of the MEDIUM inherently bugs you, why torture yourself? sample from cd's & tapes & make some sh*t....

i prefer wax myself, but i have a couple homies that use everything...mp3's, cds.....and they make dope beats regardless......

depends how u remove the sound tho.. and how u process it after...

If u cut alot of the top end to eliminate hiss (theres various diff ways to do it resulting differently from each other) and its not as bright u could use harmonic exciter or something of the likes to bring the top end back out and get it sparkling again..

Theres various ways to improve a sound and add brightness etc which can work wonders when done right, u just need to understand a lil about what ur doing and how processing certain frequencies can effect others so that u can work whatever processes u use properly to achieve a nice result

I don't mind the static or even a light crackle, its just the loud pops that i cut out using the MPC edit function (delete section)
