Hear Bob Ludwig, Doug Sax and Michael Fremer at SXSW

Michael Fremer  |  Mar 19, 2011

 

Mastering great Bob Ludwig presented a vinyl mastering panel at the just completed South By Southwest (SXSW) music showcase in Austin Texas. The other participants were the equally legendary mastering engineer Doug Sax and the not so legendary musicangle.com editor, Michael Fremer.

The panel, called "Mastering Vinyl, Hear All About It" was described thusly by Bob:

"My panel will answer everything you want to know about disk cutting. Vinyl albums have experienced a big resurgence in the past few years. From a low point of less than 1 million units sold in 2006, to over 3 million last year. Every major project we master has vinyl cut for it. This panel will answer all your questions about mastering for vinyl, how it can be different from CD mastering and how to prep your masters. I will also present a historical over-view of disk cutting featuring photos and movies of my dual lathe mastering studio in the mid-80's."

Attendance was excellent. In fact, the room was packed!
