Guest Helper ET Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 i am bloody outraged. i suppose im not completely surprised, they always somehow find a new low. i just found out about this word on the streets, is that many modern vinyls are pressed using the cd masters! the digital master! now im not a vinyl expert, but im pretty sure albums are supposed to be specially mastered to be pressed on vinyl. so using a master from a cd, is kind of like, wtf dude...not cool vinyl freaks: please dont come in here and spout off your elite knowledge of vinyl records for 17 paragraphs. simply express your outrage this is bullshit right here im writing a fucking letter or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4d0 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Fuck off adolf, this is all your fault. I tried to stop them, but they turned it around, used me to gain their holocaust immunity and antisemitic explanation to destroy the opposition. You all just know the history of propaganda, that they were and still are feeding you, not the real one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berk Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I also read they use WAV files for this. It's probably true. It's kind of a stupid method It only reduces quality obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundwave Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Music is recorded digitally these days. Good point as it was DATs back in the day and I don't reckon a lot of smaller artists have an all singing 96khz set up plus I don't think there's much point in direct mastering from something like Fruityloops, as a CD should do the job for commercial dubpap however if one is recording analogue synths on analogue tape then...

oscillik Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Someone explain to me how this is possibly bad since I guess I'm retarded. Vinyl needs to be mastered with the RIAA EQ Curve taken into account. CDs aren't mastered this way, because there is no physical playback need that requires it. if a record is mastered with the CD masters, then it's going to sound REALLY shitty on playback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you mix something down to CD, you could probably take that mix and then send it to the record plant with no tweaking at all. The ME at the plant will apply the RIAA curve (thank goodness for standardization though) before he cuts the master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
