Plating and Pressing in the media.

Once you have cut a master laquer, you have metal stampers created and have records pressed from them. Discuss manufacturing here. (Record Matrix Electroforming- Plating, Vinyl Record Pressing.)

You had the [YouTube2] tag almost correct. If you remove everything in the link to the video except the id number of the video at the end of the link, then it will work.

Copy what I have below, but cooy it to one line with no spaces inbetween. I wrote it on 3 lines so you coukd see the text. It would otherwise display the video instead.

Another video from Canada Boy Vinyl - it looks like they've got their galvanics department up and running now. Let's see if this link works: http://bcove.me/jyqxzfr8

Thanks
This article is to be taken with a pinch of salt
It represents a very very narrow view of the European scene
In essence its one sided, leaning towards the negative side
What does it say? What message does it send?
Oh yes, there is a vinyl revival but its not going to last
We been hearing this for at least 20, if not many more years

A audio podcast on supply and demand by Vinyl Factory

Having asked whether the internet has ruined the joy of record collecting in our first podcast and taken issue with reissues in the second, we’ve invited four industry experts to explore the pressing matters of supply and demand at the very heart of the vinyl industry.

With demand at its highest in over twenty years and manufacturers busier than ever we’re joined by Frank Merritt of mastering and vinyl production outfit The Carvery, independent mastering consultant and all-round vinyl expert Crispin Murray, Sofia Ilyas of Erased Tapes Records and Gennaro Castaldo industry watchdog the BPI.

The podcast will be split into three parts. The first will look at the first link in the chain, the manufacturing process, where we’ll discuss how you actually make a vinyl record, where the delays are creeping in and why just opening more pressing plants isn’t necessarily the answer. Part two will deal with the role of record labels as arbiters between fans and factories, and ask how big an impact, both positive and negative, Record Store Day and major labels have had on getting records released. The third will look at the demand, as we’ll discuss just who are buying all these records, whether growth will continue and if so, what the supply chain can do to help keep vinyl changing hands.
