Conroy Recorded Music Library (24bit FLAC)

There seems to be a runtime difference of BMLP 145 when comparing the vinyl run times to that of the digital download as discussed here, the digital download runs 7.7% faster and changes the key:

I suspect someone at EMI thought this might sound better at a faster tempo than the original vinyl but this is just speculation in the absence of evidence, it may be the case that this is the original tempo but I doubt it. Anyhow I've altered BWP's very generous download so that it now matches that of the original vinyl tempo and run times. Thanks for the hard work BWP, this again is in 24bit FLAC.

For reference here are the original vinyl run times:

Thanks DT

Gosh. Depending on which version I listen first, the other one seems worse. Weird.
But assuming the original tempo is the one from the vinyl, is it advisable to keep that one?
Thanks DT.

Hey DT, you altered the tempo of an existing file? What program did you use for that?

Hey DT, you altered the tempo of an existing file? What program did you use for that?

I used Audacity, there are two methods for altering the tempo, one which changes the speed which also the changes the pitch (i.e. frequency) and one which changes the tempo (i.e. BPM) but doesn't change the pitch. If you go effect > change speed this is the former and effect > change tempo this is the latter. In this case we wanted to select speed change as the source material had both the pitch increased and the BPM increased when compared to the vinyl release. I created a chain to automate the process, I've discussed chains before with respect to something Retronic wanted to do with batch increasing the volume on a collection of FLACs, see here:

If you've any more questions please don't hesitate to ask and I'll do my best to answer.

Very handy. Thanks for the info, DT!


*UPDATE*


I just checked DT's tempo adjusted files against an old vinyl rip of BMLP 145 by Frayker and the tempos match near perfectly.

Thank you BWP. Some of these I never even heard before.

And a few that slipped through the cracks, probably due to the missing tracks (copyright issues most likely).  Ignore the (WAV) in the folder, I forgot to rename it after converting.
