what I'm wondering is why you'd buy vinyl for an album where a good chunk of the instruments are just computer samples (as opposed to older albums where all the noise is brown townog)

i still get my mp3 copies i won't lie. some artists (jack white, most of daft punk's ram, etc) were all done in studio with digital recording (or if you're jack white totally brown townog.)

plus vinyl is mostly 48000hz 24bit audio. masters are usually better. cds/mp3s are usually 16bit 41000hz. the only records i ever buy are albums that changed my life for the better. every album/single i have has some life connection to it. some of my records i sold because i didn't have that much of a connection plus my tastes change.

i will say, most of my vinyl is ambient electronic or rap. i love rap records, it's the essential way to enjoy classic albums like licensed to ill, or even some newer stuff like mf doom. plus with beastie boys, that stuff was originally released on vinyl and was all samples. you can call that "computerized" way before FL Studio/Ableton/Pro Tools.

another edit: i gotta add some records to my discogs, i bought some in the past year and a half and totally forgot to add it to my collection. good examples are kanye west's yeezus (never was on vinyl, some german dude did a unofficial pressing) and yello's stella (the OH YEAH song in ferris bueller, c'mon that was a good 5 dollar find at half price books)

man why would you buy vinyl for any material that was made past like 1980

it's the physical tangible aspect of it. if you're buying newly released stuff, you're directly contributing to your favorite artists rather than streaming a track from spotify and them getting only a few cents a play. plus like, there's no DRM.

i was actually in a heated debate on this because i love streaming movies because i don't have to deal with bluray menus and bullstuff i can't skip just to watch a movie. with music, i pop my CD in or spin a record and there's no bullstuff to it.


on the subject of vinyl, i have at exactly ~61 records (didn't catalog some recent purchases at some brick and motar stores i went to recently). i have them all cataloged in my discogs collection here: https://www.discogs.com/user/TomTheGeek/collection

DOOM it is

too bad i bought it on GMG when it came out 2 years ago :(. at least i'll be able to stream all my games to the TV now. i have a xbone in there but like, noone uses it. we've had it for 4 years and i think it's been powered on at least less than 20 times.

I thought active monitors were the default because the glasses did the work mostly, and the monitor
helped with that strobe backlight effect.
Either way if I'm wrong this would make things a lot simpler.

nope. https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/2y55tf/can_i_use_3d_vision_without_a_3d_vision_monitor/cp6b3i8/

How tf has tech changed i just watched a video from the old ncix tech tips where all they needed was a 120hz monitor, ir sensor, ir active 3d shutter glasses. Done.
None of this "3d ready" bullstuff.

link me it. chances are that monitor was passive 3d.

this cant be real

/agree

nvidia isn't a picky bitch, it's literally telling you "lol dumbass i can't force active 3D on your monitor"

i will add my TV confuses windows display settings with "3D mode off" even though my TV is just a normal budget vizio.

because your monitor isn't a active 3D monitor.  these glasses are meant for active 3D TVs.

you can't make a non-3D monitor a 3D one, unless you wanna go the blue/red route.
