I had been thinking of just tracking the groove like they do when centering a record at the pressing plant (must find that youtube video), but that might have legs. Ideally of course you would have a seperate arm setup just to do this, but that is getting silly
Strictly for info, and certainly not wishing to kick the nicely sleeping dog, bizarrely this randomly popped up on one of my news channels.
Man’s YouTube Video of White Noise Hit With Five Copyright Claims
I kept a file when I worked for one boss called ITYS......I told you so.
It's not that there's necessarily any legitimate claim, it's just the potential for total hassle and cost of sorting such things out if such circumstances arise.
Suggest steady as we go, but must take good care of our position and protection with proper diligence and wording before final release. IMHO.

Thanks for checking.
Do you mean the 2.5K sine on side A? One is at +6dB, the other at -6dB. The spread sheet doesn't do a + sign, so it may not be clear.
Locked grooves:
There has been discussion of wanting some locked grooves, for example on the 3150Hz signal. FYI, there are two types. Fall-In, where a normal tracks ends in a lock - like at the end of a side. Stand Alone, that is just a 1.8 sec repeat. Both may be useful.
One handy part of a stand alone lock is that it could tell us the speed of the lathe. If a tone is cut, the number of cycles contained in the lock could be counted and the lathe speed determined. Actually it would be the lathe speed and the DAC clock, but that's what's important anyway.

Except it's Youtube's autoIPbot which folks continuously try to circumvent and they continuously tweak, I would rather file this under AI is still the technology of the future.
Has anyone actually thought of calling HIFI News or Mr. Chardas and asking them what they did, I don't think they would charge for an answer?
This is preferable, BTW there is a 500 locked groove LP (500 artists each contributing a 1.8 sec song) that does not retail for anymore than the labels regular releases, I bet they don't sell many either.
Some test tracks create a moire pattern in reflected light and on some LP's it is clear the lathe was not perfect.

I like the original atom art for the cover front. The groove/stylus photos would be good as illustrations in a printed insert - which would be a good idea to have with info and suggested uses for the tracks.
There were a couple of comments on 180g with respect to warpage, we need a professional opinion on that. IIRC 140g was a good compromise.
A greeting.
Several friends in a Facebook group who really like vinyl may also want to buy. At the moment I have planned the purchase of 4 vinyl but I hope it is close to 10. Most of them tell me that they would like very much the disc included a area similar to the space of about 3 or 4 minutes of disc without track. This would also require closing at least the previous track before this space.
I can´t edit the tracks list. I don´t know if it's a good idea and possible. If you consider it interesting, please include it in the list of tracks. It´s for Anti-Skating. I do not know if silent groove, track 26 SideB is the same, but only 30 s.
I refresh track and buy lists.

With respect, Ray, so many peoiple think a blank section of disc is the way to set anti-skate correctly that you need to give the reason why it's no good - so then they can learn.
oneoclock, anti-skating is needed as a result of the friction of the stylus in the groove. There being vastly less friction when the stylus is not in a groove ... a blank area will not deliver a useful result (in terms of setting anti-skate correctly).

My turntable dealer uses an oscilloscope and a test record to set the correct anti skate value.
I think he uses a sine wave (don't know which frequency) and when he slides the anti skate lever ( rega turntable) you can see the top or bottom of the wave changing. Most people don't have an oscilloscope so this might be useless.
While ultimately, if you know how to listen for it, the ear is the best piece of test equipment ... I find the anti-skate tracks on the HFNRR test LP very useful. I believe they're a simple tone (10kHz?) but cut at increasing levels. The middle level is then repeated on the other side:
* at the start
* in the middle, and
* at the end.
For setting anti-skate by ear - see Allen Wright's white paper, here:
