VINYL PRESSING
Vinyl pressing support for Enormous Door Mastering clients through Helios Press.
Enormous Door prepares vinyl-ready masters. Pressing is handled through Helios Press, a dedicated vinyl manufacturing partner. If your masters are already approved and ready for production, continue to the pressing path. If mastering is still needed, the project is directed to Enormous Door first so the vinyl-ready masters, side lengths, sequencing, and delivery files are handled correctly before manufacturing.
MASTERING FIRST, PRESSING SECOND
Vinyl pressing works best when the masters, side lengths, sequencing, and delivery files are already prepared correctly. If your project still needs mastering, use the Vinyl Mastering page first. We’ll confirm the right mastering path, format needs, and file readiness before the record moves into manufacturing.
PRESSING THROUGH HELIOS PRESS
Helios Press handles the vinyl manufacturing side for records that are ready to move from approved masters into production. Their team focuses on domestically manufactured vinyl records, physical-format quality, clear communication, and pressing logistics for independent artists, labels, and collectors.
INDEPENDENT MUSIC FOCUSED
Helios is operated by people with deep involvement in independent music, underground records, labels, publishing, and physical-format culture. That background makes the pressing path a natural fit for artists who care about the full record experience, not just the file delivery.
DEDICATED VINYL PRESSING EQUIPMENT
Helios uses manual vinyl pressing machines for 160-gram and 180-gram 12-inch records, with a range of color options available depending on the project and production details.
BASED IN BRADY, TEXAS
Helios Press is based in Brady, Texas, and handles the manufacturing details after the record is ready for pressing.
CLEAR PRESSING COMMUNICATION
The pressing stage involves quantities, color choices, jackets, inserts, test pressings, timelines, and delivery logistics. Helios is the correct path once your approved masters and production details are ready to move into manufacturing.
CHECK YOUR SIDE LENGTHS
Before pressing, confirm that your side lengths, RPM, sequencing, and track order make sense for the format. Long sides can affect level, low end, high-frequency clarity, and playback reliability.
MASTERED ALREADY, OR NEED VINYL MASTERING?
If your masters are already approved, continue to the Helios pressing path. If mastering is still needed, Enormous Door will prepare the vinyl-ready masters before the project moves into manufacturing. We’ll confirm side lengths, sequencing, format needs, and delivery files before production.
