Overview

Equalizer is an application to assist when capturing and restoring audio from gramophone records whose equalization and/or speed does not match your equipment. It has been developed over a period of many years. There is a user manual that is part of the download package. Equalizer will not operate on compressed audio files, such as MP3, and there are no plans to incorporate such a feature.

Holy cow! I'm pretty old and even I can't recall every having gramophone records at home, much less a gramophone. Our first "hi-fi" device was a 1950 Hoffman AM radio that included a decent record player/changer that played vinyl records. It provided years of entertainment.

"Gramophone" is an old term that still applies to modern vinyl records. Somehow, vinyl recordings have become fairly popular again and quite a lot of modern music is now released on vinyl as well as digitally. All vinyl recordings are noisy to play thanks to turntable rumble, pop, warp, etc. Extracting music into digital format and cleaning up the sound is the goal of tools like these. Where I live, we still have a large used vinyl recording shop and a massive used vinyl trading show each year. I still have hundreds of vinyl recordings, despite the fact that I'm a digital fanatic.

@ Derekcurrie: Indeed! From what i understand of this revival is that there is no A to D conversion and purists claim that they can detect the sampling in a digital version of an analog performance. Of course there are two major factors (besides the ubiquitous 'form factor") that any vinyl record presents: extreme careful handling and storage, and the absolute top of the line turntable where the needle is barely touching the groove so it isn't eroding the analog waves cut into the record. Way above my income level, not to mention that the hearing of a 73-year-old could ever tell the difference.

Thanks for your comment.
