Pressing Vinyl?

Postby Maguire » Fri Mar 19, 2010 8:12 pm

I'm just having some stuff mastered (for the first time) which has cost me 84 quid. I'm considering pressing a couple of hundred 12" vinyl as a vanity project.
As far as getting the house onto beatport is concerned I've managed to find this so far which is strangely discouraging http://vimeo.com/663319
Is it worth it do you reckon? If I troll around the clubs with my bunch of white labels which is my idea, and a back up collection of cds for the cd djs will I get a response (the tunes are ok) or should I just try and get lost in the teeming masses on the Interweb?

usually minimum pressing is 300 units, there are extra charges for pressing less. Also, cutting lacquers and the processing of metalwork etc is the vast majority of the expense of pressing vinyl, so you save very little money by pressing less than that.

if you're new to pressing records, it might be best to hit up someone like Curved Pressing who can offer a cheap package deal.

Ask Deamonds, he presses his voice messages onto vinyl, then listens to them!
