Vinyl succumbs to Loudness War: more than just collateral damage!
The vinyl record is an analog medium. How can it be affected by the loudness war? So what’s the impact?
🎶🥳 Congrats to Teenage Engineering for inventing a machine that lets hipsters create vinyl records with "superior sound quality"—because streaming isn't retro enough! 🤯🎉 Exclusive access is the name of the game, because who wouldn't want to spend a fortune on a device that makes music even fewer people will listen to? 📀🙄

Ah, the riveting saga of
#mildew vs. analog tapes—truly a battle for the ages 🎻. Who knew mold was such a connoisseur of sound quality? 📼 Maybe next time they can research how dust affects vinyl, because clearly, that’s what the world is waiting for with bated breath. 🙄

Since 1947, analog tape recording has become the dominant method of sound recording and has been widely used in music, cultural outreach, scientific research, and news gathering, producing a large number of important audio archives. However, due to the presence of adhesives, mildew often develops on the tape magnetic layer and edges, posing a serious threat to long-term preservation and sound quality. ATR-FTIR and SEM were used to characterize the chemical and physical properties of magnetic tape. Penicillium and Aspergillus were used to prepare samples with different coverage degrees of mildew, and the corresponding audio samples were analyzed using Praat. The relationships between spectral characteristics, acoustic parameters, and mildew coverage were analyzed. Additionally, surface morphology and roughness were observed using laser microscopy. The research reveal the mechanisms by which mildew affects sound quality and provide a basis for improved preservation strategies.
