Makes sense. However, for mainstream productions, extreme limiting is part of a title's sonic signature. Leaving it to two different ME's would probably result in significant differences between the CD and vinyl releases, beyond the inherent format-related differences. Maybe that's why some prefer vinyl over CD...EmRR said:My other vinyl mastering experiences have all been 'pre-cut master', meaning general mastering for all formats without final limiting, then a fork in the road with 1) limiting for CD/streaming 2) any vinyl specific touches with no limiting applied. 44K1/16 reduction for CD, vinyl left hi-res.
