Very informative... we just start cutting 5 inch vinyl records and been learning how to master the sound quality before cutting. This video was very helpful. We have a better understanding during our process
Hey Ethic Radio Archive Reels! That's awesome! Great to hear that it's helpful!

I'm sorry. 5" records? Do you mean 7"?
NOW this is usefull since i'm starting to master for vinyl (wich is hard to get exactly right with enough loudness) but thank you so much for the video!
Great video, thanks! If I understand this correctly, low level compression could be easily done with a multipressor that bypasses higher frequency sections, but what would be a good cut-off frequency for the lower levels ?
Thanks for watching Mike! Low-level compression isn't frequency specific but amplitude specific.

@@sageaudio Thanks for the reply; yeah, but higher amplitudes in the lower frequency regions. No? Hence, you could make up this with a multipresser below let's say 300Hz. I might understand something wrong here.
Low level compression is more like a negative ratio compressor, since what you describe is a multiband compressor
So cool man :o, there is so many different things to apply depending on what the end media format is for the music!
Hey thanks for the comment! There's definitely a lot to think about here.

Don’t understand the low amount of views, super video!
Hey Jack! Thanks for watching - glad that you like the video!

Probably because almost nobody masters for a vinyl release anymore. Makes sense, in my opinion. But you're right, great video!
Mr Coatsworth yes indeed, and it’s no cat video either ofcourse....😀
Do you have any other recommendations for low level compressor plug ins? And are you able to elaborate a little more on what exactly low level compression is!
Thanks for watching! Boost is great. Also maximizers like Weiss MM-1 are a really good option.

what should the lufs and true peak value be for a vinyl master?
Hey ! Thx for the video ! What Volume could we reach (LuFS) to the maximum for a vinyl master ?
Hey Le Gougnafié! -14 LUFS to -10 LUFS will work, but it depends on the genre! Jazz and classical should be quieter and more dynamic, pop and rock should be louder and less dynamic.

@@sageaudio Thanks a lot for your answer ! :)
Hey just a question about a piece of hardware in the intro at 0:45. The one with the multi coloured knobs. I picked one up for 75$ at a garage sale and found it rather noisy. Do you have any thoughts on it? (i hope mine isn't a complete knock off)
Hey Circle A Studios! Let me ask the head engineer Steve and get back to you!

THIS IS GREAT INFO.
Thank you!
Good tips!
Hi sage audio! Do you attenuate the sibilance in stereo or only in the mid?
Thanks for watching! Typically just in the mid!

thanks a lot for this video ... it's my first vinyl master i'd like to know how much LUFS can it support ? i generally master around 9 / 8 Lufs sometimes 7 when the client want it that loud ... but i guess that is too loud for vinyl ? thanks in advance
Hey Vincent! It'll depend on a few factors. Typically, a little more compression is better for vinyl, and a louder master would support this. But, incredibly loud high frequencies will cause distortion, especially toward the inside of the record.
That said, it's best to master the track a little quieter than normal, but with slightly more compression, like you'd have with a louder master. I hope this helps!

Sage Audio thanks !
Informative. I checked the blog out looking for additional info and most it makes sense. However (as in point 8) in the event with a rock/metal album if the high frequency is constant through out, is it a general practice to automate the EQ gradually the upper Hi-mids+ as each songs progresses in order to maintain consistancy. Many engineers are not album to check their mix in this instance.
I hope my question makes sense.
nice! Thanks!
what software are you using to make the master?
When mastering for clients we use analog hardware, for these videos we use Logic Pro X!
Thanks for watching!

whats the point of pressing vinyl from a digital source
Consistency! Thanks for watching!

@@sageaudio ?? I dont understand
Band records in DAW. Band wants to release Vinyl. Really that simple.
Basically we’ve finally reached the point where digital can outperform vinyl now.
Hey Louderthangod! Thanks for watching! Just about, although most digital recordings have a truncated frequency response when compared to vinyl.

For the God sake! Don´t use Crossley sh*t record players and do not master your records thinking on that crap!
