How Vinyl Records Are Made (feat. Third Man Records)

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

We visit Jack White's Third Man Records vinyl pressing plant in Detroit, Michigan to find out exactly what goes into the creation of a vinyl record; from cutting and pressing to making sure they sound great. LeadHammer: Cutting a record on a lathe that was out of production in 1980, getting only 19 minutes per side, not 22 or something. So, not only it is an outdated format, it is worse quality and shorter playtime that proper good old vinyl. And more progressive techniques like Direct Metal Mastering? Forget about it. I don't see a point in vinyl revival if they cannot even achieve the 1980s quality. Vinyl died when CD was invented. Go digital, go downloads (NOT streaming, as it is ephemeral.

I can t imagine what a painful process it is for the records themselves. STOP, STOP! Is the equivalent of the squeezing sound a vinyl makes whenever you put the needle on it, like getting an injection.

Okay so a million things can go wrong at any stage of the process. What's the point then? Why go through all this trouble instead of using a more reliable music recording medium?

I just got a bad vinyl a couple days ago and I m sad. It was on light yellow. I guess I now just have a pretty souvenir instead of a record I will love to dance to.
