Does vinyl really change how the record sounds?
The needle that etches the first dubplate can't cut the 90° angles of a digital waveform, so it ends up rounding off all of the peaks and edges and creating a sinusoidal, analog groove, even if the original sound was entirely digital.
No, that's not how it works. All audio DACs have a reconstruction filter, after the sample and hold stage, so that the steps are smoothed out. You're misinformed if you think steps is what is output from digital playback devices.

may even master to tape and then direct from tape to vinyl!

Yeah, I thought that there are steps in the digital signal too but that's apparently a myth, this great video clearly debunks it:

I'll be listening to an 8 hour playlist I put together of all their studio work, including 2 hours of all killer no filler Old Tunes/35RTT and a couple choice remixes while I (try to) work before it starts. I'm ready!
Oh, you have the tapes?

I haven't got time to watch that all now, but yeah, the guy with the beard is right.
There are steps though, it's part of the conversion to go through that stage*. They just get removed before they get out.
*If you do the conversion in
this way. There are other methods.

Give it a shot on your phone, there's a chance it'll work. Most things are built to work on phones nowadays, anyway.

yeah I thought about that, but it gets a bit pissy streaming through the browser. if it was a Ustream or Soundcloud thing I'd be alright, but I'm guessing it's a site-native thing. blergh. I can wait a week for the wax if I have to.

I will be surprised if it is site native, considering the traffic.

I wonder will they use Mixlr to broadcast, like when Autechre done those 12 hour mixes before EXAI came out.

That site was great for streaming, but because they never let you close the chatroom in the background it ends up slowing down your whole PC and then you need to refresh every 20 minutes. I don't know why they don't just allow you to stop the chat.

It'll 100% be ripped by the time you get home, don't worry.

Yeah, I have class from 2-8PM so I guess I can either tune in for bits of it on break, or wait until I get home and catch up to the nearest time zone. Blaaah.

Damn, that sounds tempting... Since I already pre-ordered the vinyl and cd I wouldn't feel so bad, but damn, I want to wait till the vinyl gets to my house.
Decisions.
