VINYL MASTERING.
       Mastering for vinyl is a specialized craft that ensures optimal sound quality for playback on record players and turntables. It involves translating digital masters into grooves on a lacquer disk with the use of a cutting lathe, with careful adjustments to parameters like groove depth, width, and spacing.

        This meticulous process not only optimizes the sound but also prevents common playback issues such as distortion or skipping. The lacquer master created in this process serves as the template for producing metal stampers, which are used to press vinyl records en masse.
     
       With hands-on experience in lacquer cutting at
