Truth is that that "ghost" signal that is heard on some vinyl recordings can be easily removed during the editing process both in an analogue way [ splice a section of clean tape at that point ] or a digital way [ simply find the annoying section and hit delete]. It would be interesting to know the age of the recordings in question as editing techniques have changed and improved. I would imagine that recordings made before the use of magnetic tape would not exhibit this characteristic ? I'll pay more attention in my future listening sessions !
Sound right before song begins on vinyl, what is it?
I have found on many LP's, that there will be a faint "pre-song" sound. Is this a mistake in the recording process? It is the music starting faintly before the music actually starts. Who understands this better than I do? I know we have some recording guys here. Why do we hear this on a lot of LP's? Thanks,
Bill

@nubiann +1 I've heard this on d2d recordings as well. No tape involved. |
It seems like the only explanation in that case is the vinyl flaw, which was explained by someone earlier. It is kind of hard to imagine that one sounding as an exact but faint replica of the song that is about to begin. Does it? I don't think I've ever heard it on a D2D but will pay close attention when I listen to one in the future. I have quite a few and they are among my favorites to demo something new in the system. |
