Another interesting transfer...

so my LP-CD transfer game is on point this week, and I'm ripping this album right now:
an African musical that tells the story of the Xhosa tribe in Africa dealing with urbanization. Super cool funky toons with African singing, and one track is called "The Click" and is just a conversation between two villagers speaking that 'clicking' language - anyone know what it's called, my memory fades me. I'll try to post some audio later on...

it's a cool record. I have a pressing with a brown cover.
yeah, that's what I wrote. The liner notes say it's pronounced 'chosa'
edit: oh, you were talking about the language - doh!
also, what kind of coverters are you using? and do you edit the audio files, remove pops, seperate tracks, etc?
craigslist, and I have a sliding scale, but I ask for $20 per full length. And I do a straight to CD-RW record, import as a .aiff into iTunes and then burn an audio CD with all the artist info and album art.
It's a great way to make a little cash, and if the record is good, I get free music out of it too.
imbed it into the audio file in iTunes.
I think he meant scanning....
hmmm...nor do I, and I thought I was sitting here being the only one...seems like a lot of effort over a record that is meh...at best
only thing I'm transferring or working with right now is some 45s I pulled out of the collection for a mixtape...that..and my solo album...
fuck that! I would have to charge like $40 or 50 if I went through that much trouble. Besides, most folks are using their MP3 players nowadays.
CPR - any uninteresting transfers? Well, only done 3 so far, so none yet.
I don't remeber listening anything funk in it.
Peace
thats because there is nothing remotely funky on the LP.
ha ha! yeah that would be hilarious. So far it's been two records that the guys were looking for everywhere and could only find a vinyl copy on ebay, the other was that guys barmitzvah record.
One of them was my friend so he came over to my place and we had a listening party while recording, the other two I picked up and dropped off (with an extra delivery fee, of course).
as for this particular record being funky or not, I guess it depends on how anal your definition of funky is. Like, I think Grover Washington "Feels So Good" or Aerosmith "Sweet Emotion" is funky. And to be clear, I did not say that this record was 'Funk' but that it was 'funky'. Would you say the "Hand Clapping Song" is funky? Bambaataa thought it was.
But thanks all the same for registering your discontent, I'll keep it in mind.
