Your Music On CD
 

Thanks to all those who offerred me tips on how to make the process of
copying some vinyl LPs onto CD easier using my PC. I have had another
go using some of the software which was suggested and they have helped
make the process a little easier but with Christmas fast approaching I
think I'm going to use one of these online places which offer to do it
for you.

www.indicativeit.co.uk/yourmusiconcd has been mentioned quite
favourably by a couple of people. Has anyone been disappointed with
the CDs created by this company? Can anyone recommend any other
places - perhaps cheaper?

I've never used them, but I am fairly experienced in the LP to CD
transfer process, and after checking their website have the following
observations:

1. They say: "Full track separation and Digital 'click' and 'scratch'
removal improves the quality of your music before it is transferred
onto CD. We do not use automatic software tools as these can
substantially alter the tone and quality of your music." This
strongly implies that they hand-edit the transfers to de-click the
recording. This is without doubt the best way to do it. I agree with
their comment that automatic tools can degrade the sound quality.

2. They charge 11.99 per LP. This pricing seems very reasonable. In
fact, I would go so far as to say that it's very cheap.

3. Manual declicking is a skilled and time-consuming process. I
therefore find it very difficult to reconcile items (1) and (2) above.

Surely *most* LP's are available on CD these days? I've certainly picked up
a lot of stuff on CD that was once considered rare or unobtainable on
album - and usually for a lot less than 12 quid

Surely they can't remove *all* clicks and scratches manually. I mean,
I tried doing this kind of manual cleaning up myself (before I gave
up) and how would they differentiate between a click and a spike in
the audio that was intended?

From reading some of the other threads about Your Music On CD, it
sounds like they concentrate only on removing the *major* clicks and
scratches - i.e. the ones that are really noticable. That I guess
explains the relatively low cost of the service.

You've got to remember that 12 quid is just the cost for transferring
a single album. If you send them more than 10 the cost drops to £7.99
per album. Didn't sound too bad.

The only person who would do it cheaper would be CMOT dibbler.

if you had an hour of music it'd take at least an hour to do proper QC
on it, let alone rip it in the first place!

8 ukp over 2 hours (min) is 4ukp / hour. thats worse than manual labour
wages.

Precisely. That's why I said that I couldn't reconcile their
advertised process with their prices. I was trying to be tactful in my
first post, but let's get our cards on the table: something smells
distinctly fishy about what they are offering.

I don't know how they do it. Maybe some of the process is automated,
for instance making the initial recording from the record? And then
maybe, even though they don't use software to actually remove the
defects, they could use software to identify them so that all the
operator has to do is manually rectify the problem? I don't know.
Sounds possible I guess.

I know when I tried to do it manually it did take an awful long time
and that's why in the end I'm contemplating using them.

Sorry, of course this is a given. If the album is available on CD,
then buy it. Only transfer an LP if one of the following applies:
1. Not available on CD.
2. CD version is badly mastered.
3. CD version is altered in some way (eg. remixed, abridged, etc).

No, I have been delighted! I have recently had six records transferred
and all are excellent. The sound is slightly better than I can get off
the records myself (using my Shure M75E cartridge and Thorens TD150
turntable with Thorens pickup arm). They seem to have struck the right
balance between removing major clicks and reducing general surface noise
without degrading the sound. For the avoidance of doubt, I have no
connection with the firm other than as a customer.

Right, at last feedback direct from a customer. Given your good
experience, I must withdraw my previous suggestion that the very low
price was too good to be true and seemed suspicious. I can only
conclude that the people doing this service don't actually need the
money, and are doing it for philanthropic reasons. I shall add their
URL to the list I send to people who ask me if I offer such a service.

It must be automated. A good unix box can have any many soundcards
sampling at once, and as many burners going. Add a few LP and CD-Rs
autochanger and you have a process that takes virtually zero man hours.

Given the price, I can't see how else it can be done. Maybe the worst
damaged LPs are fixed by hand.

Plus... I wonder for stuff that they get in all the time (DSOM etc) if
they don't just use the same CD image over and over and just send your

fair comment. (mind you they'd have to be SCSI, IDE ones tend to hang the bus for an extended period at the end of the burn (2-5 seconds)

sampling at once, and as many burners going. Add a few LP and CD-Rs
autochanger and you have a process that takes virtually zero man hours.

fair comment. (mind you they'd have to be SCSI, IDE ones tend to hang the bus for an extended period at the end of the burn (2-5 seconds)

Given the price, I can't see how else it can be done. Maybe the worst
damaged LPs are fixed by hand.

probably.

Plus... I wonder for stuff that they get in all the time (DSOM etc) if
they don't just use the same CD image over and over and just send your
record back unplayed - who would know?

you would have to wonder ;-)

Thanks to all those who offerred me tips on how to make the process
of
copying some vinyl LPs onto CD easier using my PC. I have had
another
go using some of the software which was suggested and they have
helped
make the process a little easier but with Christmas fast approaching
I
think I'm going to use one of these online places which offer to do
it
for you.

www.indicativeit.co.uk/yourmusiconcd has been mentioned quite
favourably by a couple of people. Has anyone been disappointed with
the CDs created by this company? Can anyone recommend any other
places - perhaps cheaper?

I've used them a couple of times and have no complaints. My first
order was back in May and was just a single vinyl album. I think I
posted it on the Monday and got the CD back on the Thursday or
Friday!
CD case looked professional with full track listing on the reverse.
CD
quality was amazing. You can still hear a bit of hiss when the
volumne
is turned right up for a quiet section of a track but as I've said -
no worse than before.

I was so impressed I ended up sending about 15 albums/cassettes in
the
end. They obviously do some sort of cleaning or noise reduction
before
burning onto CD because there's hardly any scratches or jumps.
