Aug. 3, 2024

I've got a vinyl mastering project lined up to work through today and it’s always fun to revisit some of the practical considerations we make in the process.

I’ll detail simple steps, that if you follow will make your cutting engineers life a breeze.

Unfortunately, most people are copy-cutting dribs and drabs of advice on vinyl mastering blindly without context.

So i’ll be sure to share proven tactics that help achieve great sounding masters for vinyl and those will be;

1. How we consider side lengths and sequencing
2. Managing levels between tracks 
3. Excursion
4. Width
5. Velocity
6. Assembly of files
7. References and documenting
