Anybody got any info for this? I already read this thread: http://www.homerecording.com/bbs/sho...ighlight=VinylI was looking for more specific info.
I haven't ever mastered for the purpose of pressing to vinyl. I've mixed tracks that ended up being pressed to vinyl, but never mastered for it.
I understand the RIAA curve has three distinct frequencies it deals with, 2122 Hz, 500 Hz, and 50 Hz. From what I understand, it's not as simple as placing a low pass filter on the EQ and being done with it.
I've read some articles on this in the past, that highlighted points on boosting the higher frequencies and cutting the lower frequencies (below 300hz) and killing everything below 50 hz. Is that a good starting point?
I found this online:

P.S. I currently use Waves Platinum Plugs, and as far as I can remember, the Q-10 EQ Plugin doesn't have a preset that would help out in this... maybe I'm wrong? Any help there would be awesome as well.
