The semi-automated system used in this procedure costs about US$ 400, 000, and has the capacity to produce 30, 000 rubber records a quarter.
PHR Pressing, however, is simply producing between 1, 000 and 2, 000 records each month after a time in business, which highlights the difficulties of keeping for a business going over the long term.
Taufiq Rahman, the company’s co-founder, said,” Our problem is to persuade local suppliers, native buyers, local bands, local bands, native labels that what we have here in the center is as good as what the plants abroad even sell.”
He noted, for instance, that some rubber records the studio produced were mastered in Europe.
Learning involves the transfer of a distinct master record to vinyl to ensure the best playback with high-quality sound.
” This is our efforts to kind of take world-class superior to Indonesia”, said Taufiq.
Despite these challenges, PHR Pressing intends to push on and remains positive about demand, especially in the area. There is only one another vinyl-pressing grow in Southeast Asia, located in Thailand.
More nearby players are jumping on the bandwagon as well. White Chorus, an electronic group, just re-released their second album on vinyl, selling 200 copies through PHR Pressing.
Emir Agung Mahendra, one of its two people, claimed that looking overseas and producing its vinyl information could result in customs delays for shipments.
” If we make it in Indonesia, it will be better and more certain”, he added.
Local players are certain to enjoy a rubber release, I assure you. Vinyl is huge for guitarists”.
