Finger Snaps on Test Pressing Questions
band 1 on a 12 inch 33 test pressing, a sort of old timey, honky tonk real piano, acoustic guitar song, instrumental break with finger snaps on the 2 and 4,
the finger snaps sound weird kind of clickey, not very natural, not really distorted, I'm kind of on the edge of wanting to remaster, re-plate, re-press, checking
against the mastered 2496 and unmastered files, sounds pretty similar, maybe a little more exaggerated now
I'd probably put a big ol de-esser set at 2-4 k on this section to really slow that down, but we'd miss the release date for sure, and then there's the cost...
the question is, are these sort of mid range transient tracking issues a kind of "feature" of vinyl that I should be paying closer attention to?
we're playing back with a Shure V15-4, with HE needle, the other question is, would a conical/spherical roll over these types of sections with less trouble?
thanks

Re: Finger Snaps on Test Pressing Questions
It's hard to say without looking at it. The problem that you are hearing could be a symptom rather than the cause. For instance a lot of low end or a snappy bass drum could be the real culprit. In a case like that you could slice and dice the snaps as much as you want and it won't fix the problem.

Quit snapping your fingers.

Re: Finger Snaps on Test Pressing Questions
oh its the artist who is snapping their fingers, I just master it, now if I could produce...
thanks for your replies G's, Paul, I may try to grab a snip and send you, a bit busy today though, I've got to set up my playback better so I can make a ref recording easier
than dragging cables across the floor unplugging and reconnecting the ADC yada yada
anybody care to weigh in on whether a conical stylus would roll over these transients any smoother, maybe worse?

At the outside diameter the answer is more likely no to making it smoother. At the inner diameter the answer is more likely yes.13yo wrote:o
