Moderated by Neil Scheild of Origami Vinyl, an all-vinyl record store and independent label in Echo Park, From Vision to Vinyl will not only offer a behind the scenes look at manufacturing, it will also provide guidance for maximizing the creative options available for a vinyl release while staying on schedule and within budget.

Complete panelist biographies are below.
"As vinyl resurges back into artists' and record labels' plans, more and more options for producing, manufacturing, and printing come up," says Neil Scheild of Origami Vinyl. "Our goal is to help you cut through the tape and provide you with the information needed to help you understand the process and its pro's and con's. It can be a very expensive and confusing task if you don't have the tools or knowledge behind making a record. Come hear these very experienced professionals offer up their priceless advice to get you on the way to releasing your records."
"Many of Infrasonic Sound's newer clients oftentimes start the vinyl mastering process without knowing what the next step is," says Pete Lyman, Co-Owner and Principal Mastering Engineer of Infrasonic Sound. "This panel provides an opportunity to explain the vinyl production process from start to finish and creates an amazing network of professionals in not only the music industry, but also the vinyl community."

About "From Vision to Vinyl"
Now in its second year, From Vision To Vinyl: A Step-by-Step Look at Album Production was first held at Echo Park's Origami Vinyl during the summer of 2010. Enthusiastic about the increased number of vinyl releases Los Angeles' local music community was putting forth, but acknowledging that many bands and labels were pressing vinyl for the first time, folks from Origami Vinyl and Infrasonic Sound commissioned other industry professionals (from DoradoPkg and Bill Smith Custom Records) to join them in hosting a free seminar on how to independently get a record made. The RSVP list was nearly triple the modest space's capacity. This year, the panel will be held at The GRAMMY Museum and podcast online on Wednesday, May 18th.
