Still waiting for that entrepreneur who can figure out how to lay a hissing/popping track over the digital stuff to at least fake the experience.. though digital will never sound as warm... sometimes we move too fast forward in our quest for perfect that we forget how beautiful imperfect really is.

To my ears, the sound of music on vinyl is so much broader in range and depth. Nothing quite like vinyl. Probably never will be! It’s not the pop/hiss that I miss with the disappearance of vinyl.

The problem with adding pops and hisses digitally is there is no "random" popping and hissing like you get with analog playback. So, you get a predictable pattern of pop and hiss. What we're doing now is writing some software that allows a semi random pop and hiss that varies slightly from pop to pop, hiss to hiss so the average listener can't really tell the "noise" was added digitally. Like everything else, when you try to mimic human traits and attributes, the digital version is almost never the same as the real thing... complex thing, the human body! @dotcalm Already experimenting with that.

You can find it on Sourceforge.com. Someone told me once that we don't hear digitally - that's why we enjoy listening to vinyl more - we being those of us that appreciate the warmth, feel, and flaws of a great old LP. I have an original version of the Oklahoma soundtrack (with Shirley Jones) on vinyl - wouldn't trade it for a shiny new cd anyday!
