Hey,
I was going to send this to massive directly, but thought it might be helpful to others too.
I'm sending my bands album off to get mastered in the next week or two and have some questions. I recorded and mixed everything myself over the course of about five months and tracked 18 songs (total running time, about 45 min). Then we tracked 3 more tunes, 1 will be used on a comp and the other two will go for a 7" (total running time, about 8 min ).
We are doing a CD and Vinyl album. Each will have 13 songs (out of the original 18). The extra songs we still want mastered, so they can be used for later comps or 7"s. Now here is where it will get kind of tricky - the CD and vinyl will have 1 diffrent song each. So say both will have tracks 1-12, but the CD will also have for example track 15 and the vinyl will have track 17 making a total of 13.
Do I need two diffrent master discs with the the proper track orders for each medium?
Can the vinyl plant use the same master as the CD plant and just pull the tracks they need?
If so, can I have just 1 master disc with all 21 songs on it and just burn the tracks I need when needed from home?
Can anyone remember how long a 12" 33rpm plays per side?
Trying to think this stuff out is beginning to hurt my brain, so I hope this post makes sense.
Thanks in advance for all help,
