vinyl
It is undeniable: vinyl is here to stay! There is a world wide shortage in production capacity as every band or musicial wants to have a vinyl record. KDMD has always believed in the magic of records and its unique sound. That is exactly why KDMD is the number one supplier for your records and print work.
7", 10" or 12"?
Vinyl records can be produced in 3 sizes: 7", 10" and 12". traditionally a single 7" record is produced at 45rpm, an album is being produced on 12" on 33rpm and a maxi single is produced on 12" on 45rpm.
45 or 33?
As we have limited space on a record, speed makes the difference. 45rpm gives a slightly better sound on the record. That is why singles and maxi singles are usually recorded on 45rpm. 7" singles can be produced with a small or big center hole. Default is a small center hole.
How many minutes of music will fit on my record?
In the schedule you can find the specifications of the records. Note these are avarage timings which will varify depending on the genre. Dance needs more space than classical music.
Black vinyl or coloured vinyl?
Records are usually black. Black is the colour to use for record pressing... However there are more possibilities. We can use coloured vinyl for record pressing. A solid colour or a transparant colour. Even a fully transparant record is possible! Does this result in a different quality of sound? Yes, however it is a very small difference. Quality wise black is the best record, followed by transparant coloured and finally the solid coloured ones. Due to the technical specifications of the vinyl black remains the best.
