iam8bit's video: Ep 2 - Making of Persona 5 vinyl - The Importance of Test Pressing

Vinyl is the only music format that has outlasted decades of digital innovation. Originating in the 1880s, it's as vintage as music media comes, but it's also a fairly mysterious and downright magical thing. How is beautiful sound generated via a needle traveling along a groove on what is essentially melted plastic? iam8bit is peering behind the curtain of vinyl production, exploring everything from mastering to manufacturing to a completed album arriving in your hands. We're following the entire process, distilled thru through the lens of the seminal "Persona 5" soundtrack. In our second episode, we dive deep into "The Importance of Testing Pressing," which is the utmost crucial stage of vinyl production that ensures optimal audio quality. Without the expert shepherding of a highly trained engineer, this is where many records fail to achieve aural excellence. Luckily, we've teamed up with one of the world's best mastering houses and production facilities to make musical magic! PreOrder the Persona 5 vinyl soundtrack @ iam8bit.com
