Mastering Process

The analog audio-material will be engraved into a first plate. The equipment functions principally opposite from the vinyl player. A diamond cutter transmits the excursion in the material, a foil or copper plate. Those different techniques vary in sound and manufacturing process as described below.
The sensitive foil process, would be accomplished in 4 working steps in the galvanism, up to the pressmatriz. Normally, misprinting unfortunately occurs in such copying procedures.

On the other hand, the copper plate, as a result of the DMM-procedure (Direct Metal Mastering) is already sturdy enough to manufacture stampers. Hence, the DMM-procedure is the means of choice. Not unless if the audio- material cannot be transcribed in this way.

The possibilities of the Vinyl cuts are physically limited, as the loudness of the audio material and stereo intensity influences the width of the rind and depth of the writings. Under some circumstances, a special pre-mastering is necessary for vinyl printing.
