Hi Sajay! Welcome to headfi. Sorry about your wallet.
Vinyl can be very rewarding. The main reason I got into vinyl was because of the over compressed and over processed sound of music you find in stores these days.
What's even better is that NOW is the PERFECT time to get back into vinyl. Warner Bros. is issuing new vinyl records with fantastic sound, as is Blue Note Records and various other companies. PLUS - let's not forget the over 50 years of records that have already been made and can be had for cheap.
As far I know, the channels are not switched but I really can't remember and I am at work at the moment so I can't double check.
There are tons of EQ programs out there. I like to use the parametric equalizer which comes in Audition. It's easy to use and produces decent results (given you use it correctly).
My advice - get into vinyl now! It's a fun, fun hobby.

I can't believe the difference in the Norah Jones track you posted. I did notice one thing and maybe it's just me, but are the channels switched between the LP and CD track? Also what programs are you using to EQ with? |
