For Noble Musa, the task of scoping out decades-old record pressing equipment felt like a journey into an old sci-fi movie. So his media manufacturing company decided to take another approach. Toronto-based Microforum — which has been making CDs and DVDs for more than two decades — is the second place in the world to get its hands on modern vinyl pressing machines made in Etobicoke. Microforum has two working presses and an order placed for four more from Viryl Technologies. With its first two presses, Microforum will be able to press up to 8,000 vinyl records a day, while still making CDs and DVDs. Microforum will press both small and large vinyl orders for Canadian and international artists, with interest incoming from as far as Singapore. As in-house production gets underway, the company has 30 record-pressing projects in its pipeline, and expects orders to keep coming in. Musa, who is Microforum’s vice-president of sales, said his team saw an opportunity in the market to make it easier for unsigned artists to make an LP; a feat he said can be difficult because of long waits and unreliable service. Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq, Vancouver singer-songwriter Emily Chambers and P.E.I. indie-rock band Paper Lions are among the company’s first clientele. The new presses from Viryl improve the process of making the record, without changing the look or feel of the product, Musa said. “The difference is in the modern technology used to make the records — touch screens, modern sensors for pressure and temperature in the moulding process, improved cycle times . . . ,” he said.
