no

Probably a bit of topic here but Ive got one vinyl question:

Whats does it mean if someone says that two tracks on a record are chipped?

it says:

A1 and B1 are chipped

[ If its for releasing records on a label, isn't it cheaper to just press the records at a plant? You can press a lot of records for the money that thing costs. And you have to carefully manage and clean each record that is being cut with those things...a very time consuming thing if you want to make a few hundred records (or even 50 or whatever)...and those clean records you can cut on are also quite expensive I think.

Squadra is right: if your goal is to get vinyl out in limited quantities, then find yourself a quality pressing plant, they have endless more experience with the technology

off topic, but it's the same with mastering: find someone who does it professionally, too many artists and labels think "we can do it ourselves", but normalizing your tracks isn't the same as doing serious mastering, it doesn't have to be expensive and you'll get lots of quality in return
