We received the test pressings for @soulshakevibe ‘s album In This Moment today. So freakin stoked.
So what is a test pressing?! Basically, it’s the opportunity to listen for errors that might be present in the master that is used to stamp the grooves into your vinyl records.
The master is typically made by playing your music into a machine that lathe cuts grooves containing the audio into a blank disc that is either lacquer coated aluminum or, in the case of this record, a copper plate.
That disc is dropped into a big tank of dissolved nickel and through electrolysis the nickel adheres to the master and forms a negative of the grooves.
And presto, you have a nickel plate that can be used to stamp your music into hot melted vinyl 🫠
I don’t really know what I’m talking about here but it sounds cool and the point is there are a lot of opportunities for minor imperfections to show up in those tiny little grooves. So we get 5 discs to play back and check before we press the hundreds of records on order. A few little glitches are to be expected on any single pressed vinyl record though. So anytime we hear a glitch we go back and listen in the same place on the other discs to determine wether it’s an issue with that particular pressing, or if we hear it on all of them, an issue with the master itself.
If there’s an issue with the master they have to go back and cut a whole new disc. What a drag! Fortunately, this one sounds awesome 🤙
WE ARE PRESSING VINYL!!! It’s official, our kickstarter campaign goal is met and we are now working with the pressing plant to bring our 3rd album, In This Moment, to life on vinyl.

We are beyond stoked to be at this step in our musical journey and all of you have made that possible. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. We appreciate you all so much ❤️🙏. We have pre-sold nearly 50 records 🤯!!!

There is still a week left to back the campaign and we will begin investing what we can into making our album release and our release show absolutely monumental. You are now all a part of this journey and we are so pumped to see where it will take us 🚀
