musicman Posts: 91	Posted - Fri May 04, 2001 7:13 am  I just finished a composition using CEP. It is mastered and basically ready to go. Now my question is, if I decided to get this track pressed onto 12" vinyl, would the manufacturers rather receive a DAT master or a CD-R master from which to press from? Is there any significant variation in quality between the two formats? I have a CD-R burner but not a DAT and am wondering if I'm missing out. Thanks for any help!

Most will accept CDR for just about anything...you'll probably need to include a 'timing' sheet that lists all the specs of the program material...but with Vinyl pressing, it's likely to be a slightly different ballgame, so check with them directly. As far as quality loss...the only real difference would be if you had recorded everything at 48k, with a DAT you could leave it at 48K (assuming the plant could accept that) FOr CD, of course, it needs to be 44.1...but in general, I wouldn't say that you're missing out. ---Syntrillium Support _________________
