The Mastering Show #94 -The truth about vinyl (with Scott Hull)
Description
People are always asking me about mastering for vinyl, and I’m happy to try and help based on the experience I have. I don’t actually cut vinyl myself though, so that advice is always limited and second-hand.
So for this episode I decided to talk to a genuine expert on the topic - Scott Hull from Masterdisk - and really get into the details.
Scott’s knowledge and experience of cutting vinyl is enormous, as you’ll hear, and I took full advantage of that in this episode ! Some of the things we talked about include:
The 4 stages of vinyl production, and why each is important
How making assumptions about vinyl mastering can backfire
Why choosing which plant is going to press the records is crucial
The crucial role of the lathe - and it’s setup
The myth of duration on vinyl - why “20 minutes per side” isn’t a hard and fast rule
Why less limiting allows you to cut louder on vinyl
What is the magic of vinyl ?
