Pressed Up

Statuz Registered User Join Date: Jul 2003 Posts: 11	Pressed Up Say I wanted a tune pressed up ... what do I have to do? Mastering then cutting then distributing? Anything I'm missing from the list? Also, any idea on pricing is £160 mastering for an A and B side good? and is 58p per 12" vinyl a good deal? Finally, what's the average run of a garage tune? would 200 be too many for a small track? Any help would be heavy, safe!

Might be an idea to send CD copies out first to see what sort of response you get. e.g. Record shops, DJ's, radio stations. If you get a good response, maybe a bit of radio play, then 500 is a good start. planetphat do packages for 500 runs. Last edited by Tempo : 22-01-2004 at 04:24 PM.

He is really helpful and patient. good rates too. if u got a broadband connection this is the way to go hes in germany, i just ftp'ed my tune and had it back mastered within a day. I had a really over the top bass heavy breakbeat track, he got it eq'd flat (in a good way of course) im crossing my fingers but it should sound aright tonight, im testin it out a club. the mastered version totally sounded the same on different speakers, boomboxes, discman, etc. these are their rates - 1 €49 EUR 2 to 4 €47 EUR 5 to 9 €45 EUR 10 to 15 €43 EUR More than 15 €40 EUR i won a free mastering so it got me under the gun to get a tune done but i can definitely recommend them very happy with the results http://xarcmastering.com/ peace daizo my tunes - www.recombine.com/recombine recordings.html
