      How can a digital song be slowed down to 33rpms? Was it originally a 7" 45rpm vinyl single that was played at 33rpm? Then upload to YouTube?

      It just doesn’t make sense to have digital audio “slowed down” to 33rpm, that’s like watching the Simpsons, sped up to 50rpms

        You can get a lot of music on vinyl still, hell sometimes its easier to get than CDs. Even more niche artists like Hulkoff have music on vinyl.

        You know, it takes a very special blend of technical savvy and social ineptitude to generate a comment like this.

        My granddad, who still asks “what’s on TV” because he just can’t wrap his failing dementia addled mind around “Everything. Everything is always on because on-demand video streaming.” wouldn’t think to make this comment because he never learned how digital audio works and has probably forgotten how record players work.

        Neither would my niece, who I think hasn’t actually seen a phonograph in person but messes around with audio and video filters on the Tickagram all the time.

        Neither would any of my acquaintances who are in audio/video production, because they have meaningful opinions on things like this software with this plugin or that software with that plugin to achieve that effect, possibly choosing methods depending on the source and destination of said audio.

        Neither would my actual friends who know everything we’re talking about, but are socially capable enough to be friends with people.

        You, fellow Lemmian, have that special blend.

          That’s the nicest insult I’ve ever received. Thanks

          Digital audio playback speed still can’t be measured in revolutions. Downvote away…I guess
