Sampling quality: vinyl vs CD

with today's technology the end result could be just about the same....

well no one barely prints them anymore and people love thick production these days so they're gonna die out at some point

This is true. I have a couple tricks up the sleeve to emulate a record when need be. But still, its not authentic.

For me when it comes to digging, I dig through vinyl crates and CD racks, to me they're both the same as game. Both are tangible media with artwork. For every rare record I got, there are also rare CDs in my collection.

For sound I prefer vinyl because its quality is raw compared to the CD where the sound is clean and cut. Personally, for sampling basslines, I prefer cassette tapes though.

As long as the music is dope and brings me to the studio to sample it, then I don't care if its vinyl or CD, but that as far I'll go, you never hear a beat from me that was sampled off mp3.

Yeah sampling from mp3's seems a little bit too thin. After all the format is a *lossy* compression. When looking for sounds on the internet I try to look for lossless compression formats like flac.

both works good for me. Generally speaking, cds might come in a better quality. Me, I like putting a record on the 1210 and jus listen thru it trying to find some decent sounds. The music itself seems to me a bit "warmer" sounding when it comes from vinyl, and a little crackling and vinyl noise don´t bother me at all. Either way, I always do some editing on the files after I sampled them so in the end both sources are welcome.
I know a lotta people feel like it´s more "real" getting their sounds from vinyl, I totally feel your point but hey I´m trying to find some good music I can use, so even if it´s an mp3 file I´ll try to get the very best out of it

the noise is all part of the beauty of vinyl to me, and i bet i aint the only 1

You can find cooler stuff on vinyl. Not that you cant find cool stuff on cd...

THen so will hiphop......

yeah but not entirely

i'm not saying vinyl will entirely die out... but who's still pressing it? the white stripes?

I'm not sure what's going on in Perth but my local HMV hasn't had this much vinyl in about 10 years. All sorts of albums are being released now because the world has jumped onto a "retro/vintage" bandwagon. Even Urban Outfitters, some huge w*nk fashion chain on the highstreet stocks vinyl.

It's outlasted tape, minidisc and now CD essentially. Vinyl will go nowhere.

yeah but only the smallest bunch of bands will release on vinyl for novelty reasons

it'll never completely die out but second hand record stores are about to and will go bust

once people go and buy out all the good shit and leave all the nana mouskouri records that no one wants then they'll go

Ironically, record stores are probably the last place I'd go to get vinyl!
