I don t know the details of how it works .. for that the best is asking to jvo or flozky some details
with no delay , the pitch controller use only the right side as "preview"
and it works , no over cut , nothing


anyway , I realy recommend the ultrapitch, it is a fantastic tool

The next project is to automate it via DAW using a MIDI/CV converter. I did that on my lathe , with the vinylium ultrapitch . start , mark, fast and stop are automated by midi , I still did not do nothing for deph and land , but it is on the way ... It is cool to have it when you cut at half speed ...

I use 1 stylus per box of master.


Even if the stylus is still good , I change it : I ll have a better result during the plating and pressing.


I think 10 hours is a lot for good quality mastering , 20 or more are ok for dubplates.
