Thanks Steve. It's a tough one as you know some tracks only really sound good with a bit of clipping over any other method, and there is always the super quiet (or loud)one on an EP that I have to deal with. |

Is there any difference cutting do DMM over the traditional lacquer? Or do the standard headroom and not too much out of phase bass technical aspects apply? |

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? |

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 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. |

Did you do any test cuts before deciding on this coarse of action? |

Was it "Art Lessing and the Flower Vato"? |

I'm assuming that if a client wanted mastering done for a dual CD & vinyl release that it's still best to cut 2 versions? One with less or very little level/limiting/clipping for vinyl & one with the usual treatment for CD release? |

When given the option, this is the ideal solution. Not always possible, however. |

Paul -> so if the only reasons to avoid clipping/limiting for a vinyl release is for the usual reasons we prefer to avoid it & not an actual physical limitation of cutting itself as you seem to indicate; what sort of RMS levels can be achieved with the right mix/cut? I'm assuming it is still a ways under what's achievable on the CD format? |
