Vinyl Test Pressing - Finally Got It!

psychonaut Joined: Dec 08, 2007 Posts: 1303	Posted on Sep 22 2011 08:31 AM Finally got the test pressing for 'Monsters From the Id', and it sounds fantastic! Took a long time because the pressing plant is backed up. I'm giving them the go-ahead to press the album today, so we'll hopefully have it soon. I think it sounds much better than the cd -- more depth and resolution, more like the master tape than the digitized version. — https://www.facebook.com/coffindagger http://coffindaggers.com/ http://thecoffindaggers.bandcamp.com Top

Interested in the cost comparison for vinyl versus CD for you guys, what has been your experience? It used to cost roughly the same, but because of the price of oil vinyl has gotten more expensive. An average price these days is around $2400 for 1000 copies including covers, labels, plating, shrinkwrap, etc. Cd's only seem to sell at gigs nowadays so they are becoming a bit pointless. — https://www.facebook.com/coffindagger http://coffindaggers.com/ http://thecoffindaggers.bandcamp.com Last edited: Sep 22, 2011 09:34:34 Top

I really wanted to do vinyl for our new release, I'm right in Nashville so I could drive it down to United Pressings but alas, there's just not the budget right now which is too bad because our master is very big, wide and natural sounding, in my humble opinion. Looking forward to hearing your record. — http://www.facebook.com/CrazyAcesMusic http://www.youtube.com/user/crazyacesrock http://www.reverbnation.com/crazyacesmusic Top

Looking forward to hearing your record. Didn't expect to see this thread pop up again, but thanks for the interest! Yeah for me it wasn't really done until the vinyl came out. I was very pleased with the results. We put up a rip of the vinyl on youtube a while back: http://youtu.be/b28W70TT2cY http://youtu.be/b28W70TT2cY We did a kickstarter campaign to get the cash to press it — https://www.facebook.com/coffindagger http://coffindaggers.com/ http://thecoffindaggers.bandcamp.com Last edited: Sep 20, 2012 22:30:18 Top
