| Pure Vinyl - linking the warmth of analog LPs with the precision of high-resolution digital music reproduction |
|
Pure Vinyl is the first software of its kind to directly link audiophile-caliber analog vinyl playback and the advantages of high-resolution digital audio reproduction. When used with a quality audio interface, Pure Vinyl is capable of providing stunningly dynamic, detailed music reproduction, faithfully preserving and conveying all of the music contained in the grooves of your vinyl records. And it's fun: Pure Vinyl uses the audio information in the sound file to recreate a realistic-looking and -spinning replica of the vinyl recording. The vinyl image assists in editing and provides a tonearm style cueing controller and entertaining display during playback. Pure Vinyl features (click headings for detailed information): - High - Quality Playback Pure Vinyl applies an extremely accurate inverse - RIAA vinyl correction curve in real-time during playback. Your music is reproduced as accurately as possible, by eliminating the distortion and frequency response errors of analog based vinyl EQ correction hardware. - Recording Pure Vinyl was designed specifically for creating high-resolution, archival quality transcriptions of your precious vinyl, at sample rates up to 192 kHz (or higher). Pure Vinyl automatically can downsample and mirror to CD or DVD-A formats during recording, for digital jukebox use. - "Revolutionary" Editing / Exporting Pure Vinyl uses the "scratch" style, grab-and-spin metaphor employed by professional DJs, with "needle drop" track cueing. It's an intuitive, fun way to assign track markers - a potentially tedious task with linear-style waveform editors. After editing, individual tracks automatically can be extracted and exported from the original file. - Peak Detection / Normalization / Pop and Click Removal Pure Vinyl incorporates features to streamline this tedious (but ultimately rewarding) task. The built-in peak finder and waveform inspector is useful for setting proper normalization levels. All editing, normalization and click removal operations are nondestructive to the original file. |

A representative comment we received from a Pure Vinyl user (a professional recording engineer), regarding Pure Vinyl's RIAA correction, used for "live" vinyl playback:
August, 2007: "I love to listen to my records with Pure Vinyl... After I connected the cartridge, the sound became much more 3D and the reverb tails are much longer and wider, also the dynamics are bigger. My cartridge is the Van Den Hul MC Two Special mounted in the SME titanium tone arm." This Pure Vinyl enthusiast used an RME FireFace audio interface, with the turntable / cartridge connected directly to the FireFace's built-in stereo microphone preamplifier.
| *Perfect interchannel phase and amplitude match (zero interchannel error); no capacitors needed in the signal chain! Residual distortion with double precision (64 bit) DSP is far below the resolution threshold of 24 bit audio interfaces, and is superior to the 32 bit ("single precision") signal processing used in many other audio applications. See Specifications for in-depth information, and the Pure Vinyl FAQ page if you have other questions about Pure Vinyl's RIAA correction curve. |
