Lecture

A lecture usually takes 45-90 minutes and includes photos, videos and practical demonstrations of various aspects of dubplate cutting, mastering and vinyl pressing. The topics can be arranged in advance, but a typical lecture would include:

 - the job of a cutting engineer
 - vinyl today
 - facts, figures and formats
 - two channels from one groove
 - preparing a vinyl pre-master
 - tools of the trade
 - how a mastering lathe works
 - M/S mastering (elliptical EQing)
 - de-essing
 - metering and monitoring
 - how vinyl is made
 - processing (metalwork)
 - pressing

Areas not covered in this list can be added by request, and there is usually a Q&A at the end. Lectures can also be tailored to the specific needs of a group, and students can submit material to be cut to dub prior to the lecture at a favourable rate.
