He mentions Florida as one of the places where vinyl pressing machines were last delivered. I can only imagine it's from the Latin music industry that is based here. Miami is second only to New York for the title of "Salsa Land" or whatever.
Hmmmmm perhaps I should go looking for some 80's vintage pressing machines in Hialeah warehouses? LOL.
To be fair, I think the cobweb photos were illustrating the state in which they find the machines before putting them to work. Seems to me that might have been a spare sitting off to the side rather than a working piece of equipment.
As far as mastering, I think he said "CD" so Joe Six Pack... or rather, "Bruce" would understand where they get the music file. Most likely it's the lossless file (whichever they use these days I don't know) that's put into lathe via Pro Tools. I think that was Avid Pro Tools I saw there, but it's been a while so I don't know for sure.
Also...show me the top 40 artist that's recording onto anything but lossless. It's probable that 90% of the new vinyl you're getting is digitized at one point or another. I would bet that most of the time it's right when it's being recorded.
