As a musician, once you stamp your own record of your own music, it must be the best feeling in the world.
-
So glad that people still want to hear music in this format. Hopefully it never becomes a lost art.
-
The vinyl record making process is really groovy.
-
They offer tours of their pressing plant and mastering facility in Detroit for $10. If you're into music, vinyl, and find yourself in Detroit, I highly recommend doing the tour and checking out their location.
-
Makes me understand why they're so expensive, also makes me question how the first record/mass produced records were made
-
I've always thought it was cool that they hand write information on the record in the area around the label. Sometimes they even put random messages there.
-
Thank you to Jack White and the whole Third Man crew of experts for keeping this beautiful craft alive!
-
This video is why you should keep your records with love and care. This thing has soul in it ❤
-
worth to say, they use an old way of pressing - with lacquer cut. In mid 80s DMM was invented - Direct Metal Mastering - without a lacquer cut step, so it makes a whole process cheaper and gives a better sound quality
-
This process is pure magic. I just wish there was better quality control these days
-
Never knew how Vinyl Records are actually made, until now. The different colors are also a nice addition they can give to the vinyl records.
-
I like how instead of writing WMD, which could be interpreted as weapons of mass destruction, he writes WAR instead
-
Jack is THE MAN for keeping this medium alive!!! Shout out to this very skilled crew as well… 🏆 🏆
-
vinyl rules not just the sound but the amazing artwork and additional information they can put in it can be so interesting ...
-
I worked in a shop that cleaned and prepped the frames for the screens that were used in CD illustrations. It was one of the most fulfilling jobs I ever had.
-
And to think that as of the 1st of March 2023 - Dark Side of The Moon has been continually pressed for 50 years. And still going strong.
-
that outro explanation on what vinyl music really is awesome.
-
Vinyl is such a cool format. I'm super interested in all things analog and learning about how all this stuff is made and how they were is so interesting
-
The making of a vinyl makes me love the vinyl even more.
-
This is fantastic to see! We currently have a record being pressed at Third Man and should have our first test pressings in the coming weeks. eeek! Thanks for posting this
