The industry standard is +/- 8% because that's what Technics 1210s can do. In reality more is useful, but only with pitch correction as a record played more than about 10% off real speed is very noticable. As for that pitch correction, well you're right, it's hard to do well. Even pro performance software (such as Ableton Live) can have trouble, and provides different algorithms depending on the type of music/sound being adjusted. Whilst I can go through my sample library testing each one and choosing the best, that's hardly suitable for general listening. The best I ever heard was from Pitch & Time, a protools plugin from Serato that costs around $800 on it's own. In fact, Serato are pretty damn good at the whole "realtime speed adjustment" thing as their Scratch Live product does an astonishing job of syncing digital audio to vinyl turntables. Maybe we should contract them :) -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20484 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
