Sculpting Sound - The Art of Vinyl Mastering (video)
Sculpting Sound - The Art of Vinyl Mastering
a short film by The Vinyl Factory
featuring Andreas ‘Lupo’ Lubich (Theo Parrish), Rashad Becker (Nicolar Jaar, Laurel Halo, Warp Records) and Noel Summerville (The Clash, Kraftwerk, Aphex Twin).
Practically everything that is pressed to vinyl will have passed through the hands of a mastering engineer, who will oversee the transition from tape, CD or latterly MP3, onto the master disc or dubplate that will then be sent to the pressing plant for wider production.
Over 6 million vinyl records were sold in the US in 2013 and yet there are only two companies left worldwide who supply the lacquers used to cut the master discs necessary to press every single release. At a time where the music industry at large is fighting a losing battle with advancements in technology, vinyl mastering engineers are still working with equipment that has not changed for over 30 years.
