🎶 A vinyl with Amstrad CPC game music 🎶😚

[Orko Ready]

I present to you the only copy of the very first vinyl containing some cult music from Amstrad CPC games!

Such a cool vinyl!

Oh
I didn't know it was possible to do personalized vinyls.
Would be a great companion of futurs musicdiscs

Interesting! But... how were the music recorded?

[Orko Ready]

This vinyl was produced by Yado Vinyl (France).
I simply sent my audio files (in .wav format) along with the artwork for the cover, and a week later, I received my personalized vinyl.
The advantage is that you can order them individually.

Interesting! But... how were the music recorded?

[Targhan]

Thanks! But my question was more about how you recorded the wav. Is it from a real CPC?

[Orko Ready]

I downloaded the audio files in .ym format from CPC-Power and then converted them to .wav.

Ohhh nooooo... Sorry to say this, but this defeats the purpose of project. YM is the worst format for what you try to do.
- YM may have frame skips, wrong loops, and simply sometimes cannot capture the subtlety of the original player in some (corner) cases.
- The engine you used is not the hardware: especially if you used the CPC-Power engine which, I'm sorry to say, is not very good and far from what a real CPC sounds like.

PM me if you want the WAV files for these games, from the real hardware. I have already recorded them for the CPC Scene Radio.
