- Notes For This Format Release:
• Hybrid Theory was recorded in the digital domain, it was then mixed through an analog electronic chain onto tape. Those original master tapes were then carefully transferred to 192/24 wav files that ended up being our audio source for the One-Step pressing.
• We used Neotech VR900-D2 180g vinyl compound, which is also known as Super Vinyl or Clarity Vinyl – the best in the world.
• Levi Seitz at Blackbelt Mastering (Metallica, Pearl Jam, Beyonce etc) cut the multiple sets of lacquers required – crucially all from the same lot of lacquers. Being a massive Linkin Park fan himself, Levi already knew every little sound on this iconic album.
• Dorin Sauerbier at Record Technology, Inc has been plating records for decades and is considered the best in the world – he also has done more One-Step processing than anybody. This is a vital step in the process to ultimately delivering the absolute best sounding version of Hybrid Theory ever.
• Record Technology, Inc did the pressing, using the exact machine used for so many Mobile Fidelity One-Step releases.
• Our slipcases, “Old Style” tip on original art jackets, and inserts were printed by world renowned Stoughton Printing Company.
