Playing Digitized LPs with Pure Vinyl™

Playing LPs with Pure Vinyl

The PLAY mode of Pure Vinyl was designed to closely recreate the experience of vinyl playback.

Just as in the editing process, the stylus can be dragged and dropped anywhere on the surface, to cue a particular track. This is made simple by employing the spinning vinyl record metaphor. To flip the record, juct click on the label. Records with more than two sides (double, triple, etc. albums) can be used with the player - each click moving to a different side of the next disc.

Pure Vinyl also can automatically "flip" the record at the end of the side - for uninterrupted playback in "album" format.. (Or not - you can even have the stylus "bump" endlessly in the run-out groove - Just like the old days.) But better, because there's no stylus to degrade the recording with repeated play, nor a vinyl surface to scratch.

The high-sample-rate transcription created during recording can be used in conjunction with the track edits performed on the downsampled file. The file's pristine, but large, high-sample-rate archival "cousin" can be archived offline, such as on a DVD-R, and used for later playback. The track marks made during the editing process are mirrored perfectly in the high-sample-rate file. Every play sounds like the first one - at super quality 192 kHz 24 bit (with the proper audio interface).

Finally, nearly any audio file can be imported into Pure Vinyl - drag any non-DRMed music file from your iTunes library, and create a vinyl "single" that can be enjoyed in the vintage way.
