More Info on ACETATE
Producing an acetate record or more accurately a lacquer coated disc is the next stage.
The acetate is an intermediate stage prior to the production of the master disc and
is used for test purposes to assess the sound transfer from the master tapes to vinyl.
If a sound or mix is rejected then the acetate pressed has the potential to be a unique item
as there are never many copies of acetates produced, usually no more than 10 and as such are
highly sought after.
The acetate is usually an aluminum disc that is covered in a thin coating of nitrocellulose
lacquer that has the sound groove, from the master tape, cut into it using a "lathe".
They come in various sizes including 7", 10", 12" and 14"
The lacquer is only soft and thin and repeated playing of the acetate will degrade the sound.
They are manufactured for one purpose and that is for quality control and not repeated playing.
Double sided discs are essentially reference discs given to band members or record companies
and are not sent on for the pressing and plating processes.
