The simplest way to describe “the vinyl sound” is close-mic’d instruments with high quality mics, and certain mics cooked with compression (not file compression; i’m talking dynamic range control in modern parlance) and maybe a bit of tape distortion if you wanna get crazy with the even-order harmonics that analog recording mediums will give you when you exceed 0 dB. Digital doesn’t distort in a pleasing way. That’s the “vinyl sound.” It has very little to do with vinyl itself.
oh, this is too much. You have a podcast called “Old Grey Mayors?”
This will be a fun listen. (I’m not new to campus radio at all. Been on the air before, actually. But this is the first time I’ve really heard 102.7 for longer than it takes to drive past KW on 401.
