Abs,

Qual é o seu trampo? [enquete]

O céu ainda se encontra cheio de estrelas (ou de nuvens cabulosamente cinzas)e ainda assim mal dá tempo para tomar um café decente. De repente, vai o café de ontem mesmo, requentado. Com um pão borrachudo, banhado com duas colheres de margarina. Afinal de contas, o tempo nunca é suficiente, e mais 5 minutinhos de sono sempre são bem-vindos. Tanto que acabam se tornando 20. Pronto: banho de gato, café da manhã voado e corre pra pegar o ônibus lotado, ainda sim correndo-se o risco de chegar atrasado e tomar uma lavada do chefe. Alguns heróis conseguem a façanha de após uma noite inteira de balada, recuperar-se após umas 2 ou 3 (ou nenhuma) horas de sono e encarar o batente, disfarçados de Clark Kent.


Quem seriam esses heróis valentes (e contentes)? E onde eles trampam, sorridentes?


Abs,

"follow the white rabbit...

"HOW TO PREPARE YOUR DJ MIX FOR VINYL

This page contains information on how to prepare your CD master for producing great sounding vinyl phonograph records. It's aimed at DJ persons producing their own mix. If you don't have the means to process as recommended --- DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT as we can take care of most matters on our end.

Important points to remember when making your CD master is:

*
Blend (mono-ize) the bass frequencies. Do not pan bass left or right.
*
Do not include loud level out-of-phase signals in your master. Normal out-of-phase stereo is just fine.
*
Watch out for ultra high frequency signals especially sustained signals which can be hard on the cutting head.
*
Keep sibilance ("sss" and "shh" sounds) to a minimum by de-essing where necessary.
*
Do not over compress, over EQ or over process your program. Make your mixes sound satisfying to you.
*
Normalize levels to 0 db so all tracks have same peak volume.
*
For best sound place your loudest brightest most important music on the outer tracks and quieter material on the inner tracks.
*
Give us times to each track and warn us of any surprises (strong bass, synthetic high energy signals, etc.)



Why is it so important for mixes to be mostly in phase and the bass being in mono?

Phase is more or less irrelevant to CD but when mastering to vinyl it's very important.

If the mix is in phase (mono), the cutter stylus will move from left to right - if the mix is out of phase (stereo) it causes the stylus to move up and down. Too much up and down movement (out-of-phase) will produce a groove that's too shallow or interrupted. This will cause the playback needle to jump, especially the bottom end is very critical. If the bass is in stereo, the cutter stylus will leave the surface of the record the plate will be unusable.

How do I know if my mix is too much out of phase?

Most software has a built in phase meter, it should be in the positive range.

Try listening to your tracks in mono, ideally there shouldn't be a big difference when listening to your tracks in stereo vs mono, if there is especially at the bottom end you might have a problem. If you switch between stereo and mono, kick/bass should stay in the center.

Is there anything I should take care of on an album or LP?

Put the most agressive important tracks first as every record sounds best at the beginning (outer grooves). The quieter more subdued tracks should be at the end of the record.

Please note a 12" will always sound better than a smaller plate due to the higher groove speed at the outer grooves. Try listening to any 12" record and compare the beginning of the plate with the end, there will be much more hi-end at the beginning.

For loud dance music with lots of drum & bass or loud hi-hats we definitely recommend a 12" DJ dubplate vinyl record. Particularly for drum & bass and hip hop, where loudness and lots of bass are most important."
