To the vinyl cutters - clipped waveform

fwiw - the Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings latest LP that just got released was cut to DMM at Abbey Road from 24bit/88.2kHz premasters that I made - and I think it sounds pretty darn nice!
OT but huge Daptone fan here - waiting for my copy of the CD to arrive. Did you do that as well, could I ask?

Yup - I did all the mastering for "I Learned The Hard Way" except for the transfer to DMM. It was a really fun album to work on.
Anyway - I've mastered most of the Daptone releases from the past 3 years with the exception of Naomi Shelton (mastered by Paul Gold) and "100 Days, 100 Nights" (mastered by Scott Hull), and some of the 45's (for which I've pre-mastered a few, but most were by done by either George Ingram at Nashville Record Productions or Paul Gold). The earlier releases were all mastered by Don Grossinger.
Best regards,

Which album is that Steve?
I've got SJ & TDK "100 Days, 100 Nights" here, with Scott Hull listed as ME. Its cut pretty low. Sounds good to me.

I like what Scott did on that one - I don't think he used any digital limiting at all and just kept the mids forward to still give it some presence. There was a little bit of limiting used on some of the tracks for this new one (at the very most a dB of gain reduction - and a few don't have any) but I'd say it's been kept way more dynamic than the vast majority of releases these days.

I had to pre-master some very badly recorded material for vinyl. It had severe clipping from the ADC. The waveform literally looked like a brick and I was worried about what it might do to the cutter amp. I used EQ and a multi-band expander on it to try to restore it to some semblance of a normal waveform, and left a few dB of extra headroom so the RMS was at a normal level.
When some ADC's are clipped, they produce a burst of energy right at the Nyquist frequency. It's a good idea to cut it with a notch filter or LPF.
