wanna get a couple of cd only tunes cut to vinyl..

 

any ideas?

 

Had this link for a while in my favorites, have no idea how good they are...

 

 

...HERE....

Jeez, £14 for a two sided vinyl. Thats good. Think i will get a few of my tracks done up.

Blimey that is cheap. I wonder how professional the job is (the website is a bit amateurish). Bear in mind that anybody could start up in that business - those vinyl cutting machines "only" (!) cost about 5 grand these days.

 

That said, for £14 I'd give it a go!

Bargain!

won't you need to get a dub plate cut first thou guys.....

 

think that alone costs somewhere in the £200 region

looking at the site, i think he takes it striaght from CD or MP3 and cuts it to Vinyl

 

Huge value for money i reckon!

in that case sounds very good, didn't know you could do it that way

 

better get making some tunes then....ha ha

 

but will it cut vinyl with a limited shelf life?

 

i thought some promo records ware out after only a few dozen plays

I think what your on about are Acetates, which wear out after about 15 plays?

 

This bloke allegedly cuts on proper vinyl.

does anyone actually still cut with Acetates then?

 

granted it was years back when i 1st heard about them, when the technology to cut vinyl wasnt affordable

hmmm, i'm not sure... i must admit i've never come across them, i've only read about them in book etc

I believe so, but it's becoming less popular now more clubs are getting CDJs and so on.

 

The price of "cut it yourself" machines, which cut proper vinyl, has come down a lot over the last few years. I believe you can get a machine for about £5k.

 

How good the quality is, I don't know. Presumably it depends how "pro" this guy is - whether he takes the time to set up the machine for your track, to get optimal levels, and so on.

 

It's hard to believe these ~£5k machines would produce results as good as "proper" mastering studios. But for £14, it might be worth a go anyway...
