vinyl EQ curve over a digital setup?

[rhythmtech]

i usually put an eq and compressor over the master in live for that very same reason.

usually use waves API 2500 and 550a - 2 very very sweet sounding plugs that add huge warmth to digital.

Hmmmm. Traktor has no VST support.

Arse.

Devil's advocate:

Why would you want to knowingly cripple your audio signal?

One of the key advantages of playing digitally is that it gives you frequency possibilities that vinyl can't even begin to attempt.

The RIAA curve is something you should look into though.

Theoretically, if you apply a cut using that curve and then boost using the inverse you should get the same effect you hear on wax.

Past that, a tiny little bit of harmonic distortion on the low end wouldn't go amiss.

thru certain systems it can be very harsh on the ears.. especially the highs.

Doesn't that just mean that the system is more "true"?

Good monitors can be harsh on the ears over prolonged periods.

not necceserily

vinyl has less top than digital so surely a system tuned for vinyl would come across a lot more bright with digital pumped thru it?

all i know is that digital sounds a little better with a touch taken off the top on a lot of systems

Even if that is the case I wouldn't want to listen to totally true and slightly harsh on the ears when I was out having fun...
