Analogue Vinyl Recommendations

[427]

A lot depends on the genres you like and the time period from which the music came.

For instance you're not going to have a pure analog from anything originally recorded in the 90s. Unless that was the whole goal of the artist and producer at the time.

The early 80s the studios had digital equipment as did the artist, sethisysers, drum machines and so forth. Mid 80s we started seeing Digitaly Mastered and it was touted as an enhancement. This is all before we as consumers had any digital media or components.

If you want pure artist > studio > multi track tape > mixing board > Producer Fluff > Back to one tape >EQ Mastering Fluff > lacquer cutting and then off to numerous pressing plants worldwide look to late 70s and earlier.

Some new pressing are sourcing out original tapes but doesn't mean it a direct transfer to the lacquer. We still have to deal with Who's doing the mastering and cutting of the lacquer. What equipment are they using to do it.
