Mastering for Vinyl: What I Learned

I put a video up on YouTube a couple of days ago with some comments about what I learned while trying to figure out how to master the Rusted Rabbit album for vinyl. I could write it all out, but it seemed easier to blabber about it.
The bullet point version is:
  • During mixing:
    • turn the bass down
    • center the bass
    • run de-essing filters on the vocals and drums
  • During mastering:
    • run a high-pass filter set for 150 Hz, 12 db slope
    • run a filter curve EQ to take down frequencies between 3 and 10 kHz
    • use amplify and soft clip to preserve dynamics but keep peak volume at about -6 db
That's what I did, anyway. I won't know if I made something that sounds good until the records get here.
