Chocolate and Ice Vinyl (swirled)

[EAZYE]

Yeah, the original cardboard covers aren't as easy to come by... I've had all of those photos backed up on my hard-drive, though, because in the future I plan on ripping the vinyl onto my iPod and using it as the cover art.

On that subject, does anyone know a good tool for ripping vinyl? I think Brian just used a microphone back when he recorded By My Car from Acoustic Citsuoca from us - it sounds great, but I was thinking of a more direct vinyl-to-PC utility than a mic.

thanks to the man himself (Kory) i now know how ;D and have been in the process of ripping a lot of vinyl.  if you need help send me a pm.  you really don't need much, just a mini to stereo rca cable, some software and a receiver with an audio out.

Hey Brad, windows or mac?

I've got a Mac G4 and a PC. I use my PC 99% of the time, including with the iPod.

Just ordered mine.  Decided to get an extra copy that will stay sealed (of course I'm gonna be tempted to open b/c I wanna see which one has the cooler swirl pattern :))  Also ordered a copy of Acoustic on gold, since I only had the red before.

[Kory]

I still don't have my c&i... I pre-ordered two on the first day they were available.

I got mine yesterday but haven't listened to it yet as I was spent most of my free time listening to the new Radiohead ::).  I'll see about posting a picture of my swirl soon.

Stanton st-100 turntable has a coax out, so I go from that directly to my audigy.

It is surely not as good as using a highend preamp with the phono out, but it gets the job done and sounds really really good.

Sorry I forgot this Brad. I don't know a PC program to use but you just need some program that will record your "line in". Aside from that, a RCA (red,white) to 3.5mm mini jack (headphone size) is all you need to get going. Whatever you record in will most likely allow you to cut up the recording as well. If you're feeling randy with that 1% of your mac usage, I can send you a program and the instructions i mailed to EAZY"muthaphuckin"E,  ;D

I use Audacity.  It is free, powerful, and simple.  Real nice for manually cutting up the tracks (I never had any luck with those apps that "magically" cut it up for you).

Yes, I have heard people talking up audacity left and right. I too am a manual cutter as well, no magic cutting at the silence for me either.

Hi David,

Your order will ship on Friday.

Enjoy.

FYI, they come in an unsealed heavy duty clear plastic so you can immediately see which one has the better swirl but neither will ever be "unsealed" really.

I just got mine....I can't tell by the pics that have been posted, but is anyone else's swirl brown and YELLOW?  I thought it was going to be more of a white color (more similar to ice).  Mine is more like chocolate and piss.

[sweatboard]

 ;D

[Nikkogino]

I'm serious...it is like neon yellow.  The other pics look more like a light yellow...mine is bright yellow.  I'm not complaining...still looks cool.  Looks kinda like the second one (eye-ballish).  

[sweatboard]

I heard they actually did piss on one single copy and then sealed it into the Vinyl, you should probably start an e-bay auction.  I'd be curious to see how much someone would be willing to pay for the lone copy of the Chocolate and Piss edition.  

[DaFunkyPrecedent]

mmmm piss

[BH]

That's actually the "Shit and Piss" edition.  It's a 1 of 1.  Very rare.

LOL.

[Nikkogino]

I'll start bids at $100.  One side is a good mixture of shit and piss.....other side, mostly shit with a thin rim of piss.
