Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Re: I don't know what tapes you are talking about.

THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPE is used, routed through the mastering console, to drive the cutting amplifier that drives the cutting head. (there are many instances where a copy of the master tape is used when the record is to be produced at many record plants through out the world, but those copies are just that, direct copies) What is the world is a "EQ'd cutting master tape"?

I have first hand knowledge of this process.

You are right, the LP will not sound the same as the master tape but a good mastering engineer can come very close. Often that engineer is not even trying to make the LP sound like the master tape, he is trying to make the LP sound "better" than the master tape. But the purest engineer will try to stay true to the tape.
