| Distortion on vinyl test press
Hi,
I've been asked to help a label who've had a test press come back on vinyl. 10 of the 12 tracks sound great but 2 of them are REALLY distorted. The material is folky - acoustic instruments - nothing too crazy. The first distorted track is solo female vocal - quite dense. The second distorted track appears to be ok until the vocal comes in at which point there is profound distortion.
The masters sent to the cutting plant were quite hot - perhaps not really that suitable for vinyl but most of the tracks have come out great.
There is a suggestion that the cause of this distortion is the MASTERING - not the cutting. To me the masters sound fairly consistent accross tracks
This doesn't seem to make much sense to me.
Has anyone experienced anything like this - some distorted tracks, others ok, on a test press???
Many thanks |
