Sad but true sgtpepper1138. I'm in my 40's and remember them pushing the limits even in the 70's. Get a 45 of Disco Duck. It practically jumps off of the turntable! Yeah, sound quality has definitely taken a back seat these days :-(

Really nice to see the how it all works. Looks like he has a great job! The compression on those waveforms is shocking! Look up the YouTube video for The Loudness War. How would he translate those waveforms to vinyl. You'd think the compression would make the needle jump off the record.

@guitaristsd Oh man, isn't it horrible. it's GOTTA STOP, but most young people (i'm only 30) wouldn't know good sound if it bit them.

The waveform on that screen looked horrible X(

Ron McMaster - the coolest name for a mastering engineer EVER!

Sounds like this VMS-70 was the 'G' lathe that went online in the mid-1970's. Capitol had a VMS-66 since about 1969 that was designated 'F'. Would've loved to see old-style Scully lathes in operation.

Cool video! Ron looks like he really enjoys his job. Great to see someone so into their work. Thanks Capitol Vaults!
