Mastering Masterclass: Mastering for Vinyl

[@Jay-sl9jo]

The little bit at the end about how "the sequence matters" is MIND BLOWING. Today's artists think of albums as whole stories built however they want. But when music was coming out on records, artists would intentionally have the heavy hitting songs towards the front of the record and the more toned down songs towards the end (generally). Creating a journey through a 4 side LP should be thought of different to how it would for creating a "digital" album, for lack of a better word. I wonder how many of today's artists cutting their albums to vinyl are thinking about this going into writing and arranging their album. I certainly notice the high end fizzle out a lot more towards the end of the record more than older ones, and I guess album arrangement plays a role in that?

Bottom Line: Splashy cymbals, glitchy sounds or sub frequencies in the digital domain are not always translated by the cutting lathe. Ultra high frequencies are problematic as the stylus has to physically move to recreate those. But that's all part of the "warm" sound in vinyl. *Sequence matters; the ends or final tracks on each side can sound different as the tone shifts. Still a bit grey on this concept

Its hard mastering for vinyl, I recently started doing this by popular demand but damn difficult, great that we have clips like these

[@existing4u]

I'm thinking to do a separate master of my album for vinyl now. Do you end up rolling off the high end or sub frequencies?

[@DenDGLegionhardhouse]

@@existing4u both mate, that seems the best way, but I’m using masterings engineer for my vinyl projects. Just to be sure
