Slick little article. For vynil in general, other things I can't cite right now recommend keeping all freq below 500Hz dead center. And also reccomend keeping things under 16 minutes a side and not loud at the end of a side. I've also read that there is a high-end roll-off at about 10khz.[citation needed] which is typically compensated for in mastering.
Totally sucks that I can't pay mastering engineers, but I can't. |
Hi Alex.
Keeping things quiet at the end of a side is new to me. I am currently writing an album for my band and we want it to harken back to the good old days of rock. Even though the initial release (self release most likely) will be on CD it is something to think about in the architecture of the album as a whole.
