what a fool

making mp3's aint science

mp3's ain't worht NOTHING, especially if sold by a third party


Please stop..Your coming off like a newbie so allow me to son/school you for a moment.

There is a "science" to making mp3s from vinyl if your selling CDs/making playlists for ipods/mp3 players like I do. Customers buy my CDs/playlists expecting quality in what they pay for. I could not possibly just press record and stop, and burn it in raw form and expect to sell it because:

a) The audio is untrimmed (Trimming is fixing recording start/stop points so there is no dead air before or after the song).

b) Fade ins/outs from vinyl have irrelevant noises (hiss, crackle, air, hum, etc) that need to be eliminated.

c) Each song is recorded natively with different audio levels (volume, bass, treble, etc) which have to be evened out so whoever is playing it is not constantly adjusting THEIR system to YOUR piss-poor recording.

d) I also ID/tag songs so it pre-populates on compatible players so the listener knows exactly what they are listening to and can access/categorize it with ease.

e) If I mix the songs (like a real DJ should), the tracks have to be broken up because no one is gonna buy one 90-120 minute track of continuously changing music, that's a b**ch to skip thru.

f) My reputation is for making CDQ, and there is no way you can make a recording from an analog source sound digitally clear without processing, irregardless if the vinyl is static cling new.

when has bootleggin mp3's for money become a thing that "real DJ" do? plus what the heck has mixtapes to do with "youre" playlists or what you want to call them?

cause I don't have posted here much doesn't mean shit. ask anyone who really is serious with digging/collecting, that shit what you do - sell mp3's is wack.

many people rip and share a lot rare records in their blogs, they do it for the respect and love for music. they wanna share the knowledge and help people who dig good music to research it. there's nothing wrong, but don't you realize you're just being an **** for money.


I'll let this offtopic be, peace

Whatever happened to just hookin a brotha up??? ???
Bedouin... IMO... you are probably better off buying it on vinyl than paying for a compressed version of it bro.

The vinyl is OOP and cost 50.00 plus shipping from those selling it (HERE'S A LINK). Why don't you (or anyone else talking s*it) stop running off with their e-lips and buy it, and record it for the homie? Nah, it's much easier to sit back and talk s*it right?!? Why buy a record for all that dough that you might not like, to record it for somebody else right?!? That DBA dude said he had it, so I'll just bi+ch about how he should distribute his collection, and that cost nothing. I didn't ask for that record so I don't need it (but I'll download it when you post that bootleg mp3 link tho'). Yeah, I know!!

Read my 1st post. I made no mention of dough. I said "what's it worth"?? That could mean money, could mean he'd trade me that vinyl LP/12" I been searching for, could mean he'll send me some mp3 tracks, could mean he'd offer me 6 happy meal coupons. We came to an agreement that he'd send me some tracks that I need if he had 'em.

Bedouin, I'm still working on locating the record. I've searched my house and a few closets so it's probably in one of my storage bins. When I locate it I'll start recording it. I know it's with all my Tuff City break records (Mark 45, Weldon Irvine, Bernard Purdie, etc).

Listen newbie... I got records worth 4x that much and have ripped them to 320 Kbps MP3's and put them up on the forum here for all to enjoy... for free. Just ask any old timers around here.
I'm not out to make money off of it but sharing my love for the music with others of what I got in my collection.

Chill...

Let's see... 4 x $50 = $200... just doing the maths for you. Yep... I got 'em.

Well, I'm not going to get into no e-beef with no youngster sitting in his bedroom, bro.
I'm a grown ass man who works in other countries and i dig for records while I'm there.

I know what I got and (you assume) you know what you got as far as vinyl gems. It's all about having love for the music.
Do a search for the MP3's I posted up on here way before you joined the MPC-Forum.
Go ahead... I'll wait...

Well, I do have a blog where I share some of my favorite records every week:

http://vinylarchaeology.blogspot.com/

And if someone asks me for a rip of something and I have it I usually take care of it. Want me to rip every record I have? Well no. Want me to rip something that's freely available on P2P or some blog with about zero effort? No.

Something rare that you won't get ahold of easily? I feel obligated to.
