AnalogPlanet Radio

Recently, I presented the idea to AnalogPlanet editor Michael Fremer that I could do my very own online radio show to post on AnalogPlanet. I could transfer most of the songs from vinyl, stitch them together, and speak in between DJ sets. MF said “try it and let’s see how it turns out.”

Now, I finally have my first radio show prepared, with 15 songs spanning genres and time periods from the late 1950s to today. In addition, you get to hear yours truly speak for an excruciating 13 total minutes between sets.

Vinyl transfers were done at 44.1kHz/24bit using my system of a Rega P3 (2016 model), Ortofon MC Quintet Black S, and MoFi Electronics UltraPhono preamp. I used budget RCA-1/4" cables to connect the output of the UltraPhono to the inputs of the ZoomR8 mixer, which I then connected to Audacity with a USB cable. Three songs in this show are from CD-quality sources - those being Vampire Weekend's "Sunflower," Stereolab's "French Disco (Early Version Mix)," and Tyler, the Creator's "Boredom." Those 16 bit files are upsampled in the 24bit AIFF download of the show below. (An MP3 version is also available).
