A Question: What makes for Good Vinyl?

the studio engineer, the recording, the label, the pressing, the number of copies from the master... since it's such an analog process, every participants' mood in this chain, if they had a hangover from the night before, etc...

RUSH??? OMG....

Ignore him, there's one in every crowd.

Thanks bill!

That makes sense. I think Rudy Van Gelder is a great Blue Note Record engineer.

Anyone else?

:unsure:

Here are a few from a mostly jazz perspective.

Roy Dunann - Contemporary Records.  In my opinion the best who ever lived.  He is the guy who figured out how to properly mic and record in stereo.

Al Schmitt - Another great engineer.  He did a lot of work for RCA, later Capitol, and was instrumental in Diana Krall's recording success.

Val Valentin = Verve

Tom Dowd - Atlantc

Ebonie Smith - Atlantc, proving it is not for men only

Bill Smith - Capitol

That is just the tip of the iceberg.
