I attempt to get an album pressed on vinyl through Diggers Factory.
Maybe you can all learn from my mistakes.

Hi Landon. Really dig your videos. We almost had our last album pressed to vinyl. Unfortunately, we got caught up dealing with the PledgeMusic fiasco and lack of funding. Luckily, we (or our fans) got most of the money back, but we ran into some other issues while trying to have copies made. We were going through Third Man and even got a couple of test prints, but they were saying 10 songs was going to diminish sound quality so they recommended we cut out a song. There were some tensions in the band, and I didn't want to compromise, so we ended up abandoning the project. I ended up ordering copies on cassette instead, which was way less of a headache, and those are actually selling, so I guess things worked out. Would have been cool to see the vinyl work out, too, but we didn't have enough of a following or support to do so. Best of luck to you and anyone else out there doing their thing! It ain't easy. 🤘

Thanks for sharing! I’m glad you got most of the money back at least. Here’s to reaching our goals and building an audience!

@magicspiral3323 Thanks! If you're ever interested in having tapes made, there's a guy out of New York that does really good work at a great price. His company is called Cryptic Carousel. If you reach out to him, tell him Ian from The Velvet Ants sent you. All the best!

I was just looking up this topic again. I’ve had 10 records lathed which was pretty rough and the website even warned about it. I’m very curious to try out vinyl post. That ones a Flexi disc on a postcard. And you can single order for super cheap. But I haven’t tried it yet.

Hey Landon, I'm a big fan of your work. your mixing and mastering is very interesting. I'd like to talk to you about some ideas regarding recording, mixing and mastering. Oh by the way my name is Emjay. I use quite a bit of out board gear including a Roland VS 2480, several drum machines, samplers, keyboards, drum sets, guitars and effects. i also use Reason 10, most times as a sound source. I record in it every so often. Any who I'd like to hear more about your process.

I tried to make a vinyl release with my band Insomnia's Girl. One thing I found out is that it is much easier to do a CD release. To do a CD release, I just bought the raw materials and since I already had a printer, I just printed off the things I needed and then I was golden! Also if you would want to do a CD release, it would be really cool to do one for you! I would be very willing to do small quantities.

Hmm. Is it worth resubscribing? How likely are you to upload on a reasonably regular basis again?
