Hello

https://www.analogplanet.com/content/hd-vinyl-your-record-playing-future

I just read this entry at https://www.analogplanet.com/

Do you see any advantages, opportunities, disadvantages or risks for vinyl, and for record cutting and record cutters?

Greetings

Yes that was an incredibly painful interview. He is not terribly well versed in the manufacturing process so it doesn't fill me with confidence. Makes you wonder if he has done any real market research.

In any case, this has been done before with CD and DVD stampers with ODME's "DSR" (Direct Stamper Recording) process. Unlike analogue records, optical discs require burning of pits into the stamper surface rather than an intricate 3D groove. This is a whole new ball game.

I see this as an attempt to get the attention on his company, Rebeat.
This is a classic marketing technique, generating traffic and because the news is "so revolutionary" everyone feels like they need to cover it cause they're afraid of missing a scoop. This is also showing how most of journalists are working nowadays, as pure relays of information, almost copying and pasting informations with little to no analysis.
The smallest basic investigation shows that they got nothing.
