SOS visits the world’s most famous studio to discover how the ones and zeroes in a digital recording get turned into physical mechanical grooves on a vinyl record.

Masters of mastering Miles Showell and Geoff Pesche fire up their vintage Neumann lathes at Abbey Road Studios and demonstrate the delicate process of cutting a lacquer disc. It’s a skilled business that requires man and machine to work together in perfect harmony — and the slightest mistake will make the resulting album unplayable.

No pressure then...

Miles and Geoff explain how to prepare a digital audio file for analogue vinyl mastering, the pitfalls and things to watch for in a mix, and give a fascinating overview of the vinyl cutting process from start to finish.
