Check out the bass in ‘Walk Like an Egyptian’, dirty as a hobo. Also features the best rendition of ‘My Sharona’, and the brilliant original ‘Diamond Dolls’.
This post kinda continues the theme from yesterday.

Fun fact: the original Vol. 1 and 2 were made by a dude who had an actual turntable with a ‘16 rpm’ setting. It wasn’t slowed down digitally.
Though using about the same trick works well with some other records, as I mentioned in the post from yesterday: particularly fast idm or edm. VLC’s realtime speed adjustment is alright (with the pitch correction disabled), and from command-line tools
soxproduced best sound for me, whileffmpeg’s output was rather poor. Idk about Audacity.Wow, that’s wild! My dad has a turntable similar, need to badger him to get it out of storage
TBF ½ slowdown is an extreme case. I’m mostly using the speed of around 0.7-0.8.
DJ turntables allow variable speed, afaik — which was employed back in the eighties to turn techno into slower and sexier Belgian new-beat. But they aren’t quite consumer-grade devices, of course.
