01 Introduction
If you're making dance, hip hop or drum n bass, vinyl is the only way to go. Now that many DJs are using advanced CD players, you can use CDs or even MP3s for promotional purposes.  But there's still a cachet about vinyl in the clubbing world, so if you want to put out your own tunes for release then at some point you're going to need the black stuff. 

This section takes you through the basics, including:

  • Costs
  • Minimum Order
  • Acetates
We also look how a record is made, including

  • Limits to what you can cut
  • Inner Groove Distortion
  • Test Pressings
