Vinyl Me Please Essentials

I would guess he didn't cut the laquer then unless the Discogs credits are wrong, it looks like Masterdisk cut the lacquer. That's the problem with these wooly terms for mastering. To give a proper picture there are really three descriptors that are used interchangeably by many:

1: "Mastering for vinyl" which is the work of preparing the record from the source to the target format, in this case ripping and EQing the DAT.
2: cutting an actual lacquer or direct-metal-mastering a disc
3: Signal path ie from a digital file, direct from tape etc.

For all we know this VMP pressing could be cut by RKS from files prepared by Bellman. Who know though, as VMP seems to not get the difference between 1-3.

Yeah exactly. The vinyl copy I have is DMM cut at Masterdisk by Don Grossinger, and pressed at Pallas. Looks like the DAT files used to cut the lacquer from were remastered for vinyl by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering. So who knows what digital files were provided for this release but it seems likely that they would just use this mastering and have Ryan Smith at Sterling cut a new lacquer from those files. Should sound great regardless.

The more time question was directed at @gouis who had said something about giving us more time between announcing and forum shutdown. The more time thing was not a well-thought out question but I don’t think he referred to money at all. And it’s weird that it’s morphed to that.

He actually reached out to me in a DM and apologized afterward. He literally didn't understand why we would need more time before the forum was shut down.

Basically showed his colors that he's a tech-bro robot that doesn't understand human needs or interactions.
 
Nothing VMP does excites me, but I know that's because of the type of person I am. I don't support the company shenanigans so I have no problem passing even if it's something I might want. BUT, I don't begrudge anyone from getting excited, jumping back in, or whatever works for you individually. My only real "issue" is seeing people get burned in one way or another time and time again, but they just keep feeding the monster as it were. But hey, to each his own and I always hope their projects go well for the sake of the "consumer", not their bottom line.

I am still annoyed how they handled the forums, although in hindsight it worked out so much better for us with N&G, However i dip back in when they have something worthwhile.

Recently I had an issue with a warped Dawes record, then the second was worse than the first. Then not only told me to keep them both but are sending me a pre-order (Let it Bleed) album that costs more. I haven't been burned yet in that respect (as a customer), and understand their desire to make money... When they cross the line ill be right there with you.
