Almost as heavy as your brown hairy orifice after my size 13 is lodged in it. I hear a dictionary is also pretty heavy, try picking one up sometime.
Keep it up, and the only button to be pushed for you is the ban button.

Late to the party ...
A couple of quick items:
1. avoid sibilance and too much high end. It distorts more in a vinyl media than CD and can damage the cutter head.
2. Watch levels, with CD you can get a hotter level than vinyl as vinyl will skip. I wouldn't go beyond maybe -10 dBFS average for vinyl, where many CDs are now averaging around -6 or less.
3. Watch bass levels, again CD can handle more than vinyl.
4. Watch phase especially in the bass frequencies. Out of phase material can again cause vinyl to skip.
5. Have a reasonable length for the album. With shorter lengths, the more room will be available to cut the grooves and the less likely skips will occur. As a result, you can get levels hotter, use more bass. That's a major reason why dance/club singles are cut on 12" and are usually only a few minutes in length.
It's all about the groove! _________________ Tom Volpicelli
