★★★ Wish You Were Here / Master Sound HM Half-Speed Mastering ★★★

★★★ Half Speed Mastered ★★★

The term "half-speed mastered" is used in the music industry to describe a process for mastering records in which the cutting machine operates at half speed while the audio source is also played back at half speed. This technique is used to improve the fidelity and dynamic range of the finished record.

Advantages:
Improved high-frequency behavior: By cutting at half speed, the pickup needle has more time to accurately capture the high-frequency details in the audio signal, resulting in clearer and more accurate playback.
Better dynamic range: The process can result in better dynamics as the slower cutting speed can better handle loud and quiet passages.
Reduced distortion: By reducing the speed, less stress is placed on the lathe, resulting in less distortion in the audio signal.

Audiophile releases:
Half-speed mastering is often used for high-fidelity reissues of classics and audiophile releases.
Collectibles: Due to the improved sound quality, half-speed mastered records are highly sought after by collectors and music lovers.
Examples of half-speed mastered records:

To summarize, half-speed mastering is a special technique that aims to improve the sound quality of vinyl records to make them more attractive to audiophiles and collectors looking for the best possible listening experience.
