1-off Vinyl cutting....

[Ian Cashman]

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

 

any ideas?

 

[ChrisT]

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!

[Aaron]

Bargain!

[Tony P]

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

 

think that alone costs somewhere in the £200 region

[Aaron]

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

 

[Guest]

but will it cut vinyl with a limited shelf life?

 

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

[Aaron]

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

 

This bloke allegedly cuts on proper vinyl.

[Guest]

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

[Aaron]

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...
