I mainly mix and master as a hobby so I doubt I'll ever mix and master for vinyl, but the engineering and science nerd in me absolutely loves this kind of content.

I thought about fixing my analog cassette tascam.but plugging it into the audio jacks of a VCR and using another VCR as my playback so i can overdub.VHS tape is nice and wide.i havent fleshed out the idea fully but ill let you know if it works.be cool to wind it onto reels and use it on an 8track reel to reel recorder

Very nice explanation, I always wondered about the cutting level of each side of the same record. Is it the same? Even if one side is say 1 minute longer than the other. I have my South African vinyl records I bought in the 70s and 80s and also some German, US, Dutch etc pressings. Those most of the time sound better, seems that my local SA pressings were cut just putting in the parameters and not really "mastered", there were more care taken to artists like Michael Jackson, Fleetwood Mac, Depeche Mode, Abba etc. An album that sounds great is America's Greatest Hits from 1975, the SA mastering is excellent.

Interesting question. I would think that would be at the discression of the mastering engineer. I would hope a good engineer would match levels on both sides.

My tascam dp8 has Auto mastering.and it converts to WAV file.im going to put 14 songs on a flashdrive and mail it to a record lathe company.my budget and knowledge is limited.so should i pan my bass and drums to 1 side,like right or left? And should overall master be somewhat loud?i usually set my master volume at 4 and it sounds OK on cd.doesnt overwork my speakers.any info would be appreciated.also my terminology is rudimentary.
@audiokemestry3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for taking the time. Im sure it depends on the music, but are there any target RMS levels that are recommending when mastering for vinyl?
@biasedaudio3 жыл бұрын
Hmm. RMS. Well that makes me think two things. First question would be are you talking analog as in Vu? If so standard practice would be good. Try to keep it around 0Vu and peak at +3 is a general rule but yes true program dependent. If you are pure digital then it matters less as the mastering engineer can drop or raise the level. But again limiting is the real question you can keep your "Vu" low with a lot of limiting but it will not have the vinyl sound people love. Hope this helps.

Very useful information thanks a lot Brad.By the way do you have and any suggestion for a good mixing headphone?
@biasedaudio4 жыл бұрын
Headphones are a pretty personal choice. I try to not mix on headphones so I'm not the best person to ask, but I've had good results with Beyer DT770pro but only the 80 ohm version. They run about $130.00 us. I don't mix enough on phones to justify spending big bucks on phones. I also compare on KEF. My friends rave about the Focal but they are big bucks.

Thank you so much for this valuable information, Brad just a question, Can I use WAV files as a final master before send to the pressing plant ?
@biasedaudio3 жыл бұрын
I would say wav files are prob the most common sent for press ing these days. Few people are able to pull off full analog.

thanks for all these info Brad, really help me out when I'm trying to figure out stuff about vinyl mastering, may I ask how does the operator guy from vinyl factory use the wav files to drive the lathe? is there a converting process of wav files converted to some kind of lathe-driving format files?@@biasedaudio
