Today, I assisted the cut of the new single. Eschewing any
digitising, the cut was 100% analog meaning that the grooves had to be “opened” manually without a preceding digital
signal. Thanks to the expertise of Nick and Tim at Fluid http://www.fluidmastering.com/ the
cut was amazing. This is really the best time to hear any recording. The lacquers have
now being shipped to a manufacturing plant in the UK.
I also cut 2 10” acetates. I will be holding on to one copy
and the other…Well stay tuned for more information on this next month!
The lacquers and acetates were cut on this cutting machine
