Thanks for the video and sorry for the long silence. Been busy due to a change of life.

Here are 3 pictures of the record when I received it. You can see how the labels and Groove Graphics look like
I will post an audio comparison file at the week end. Sorry for the wait. Detailed comments to come

So here are the audio files :

Comparison between the master and the dub cut (WAV)
Comparison between the master and the dub cut (MP3)

Random Solo between the master and the dub cut (WAV)
Random Solo between the master and the dub cut (MP3)

The master always comes first.
About the audio content, it's a kind of DJ tool. Genre is HipHop, Boombap. I apologize in advance if you hate this style
The comparison is about 1 minute. Taken at the beginning of side A. It's a mix between two tracks. The first one having less dynamic than the second one.
Btw channels are inverted. I did my best to try to keep the level consistent but it's not easy as the frequency response is not the same.

Recording condition was like this (Basic DJ configuration)

I haven't recorded the dub cut myself so I can't guarantee that everything has been done properly.
The cartridge is a M44-G I think, the turntable a Reloop and the mixer a Vestax. Recorded in a Roland audio interface.

There should be a pressed record this year so I will probably update this topic in the future.
It also will be better when I get my own equipment back.

From the graphics to the audio, I really like the result so thousands thanks again Todd
