The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

There's a video at the top of this thread

I use turtle wax

It works the same as any other lathe
Computer to amp to lathe

All processing done in reaper

ill try it out

if it works well i could be interested in ordering in bulk
do you offer discounts on orders over 1000?

its one of jerrys tungsten from ebay i also use sapphire cones but not on that mix
my angle is pretty relaxed
i emboss on clear lexan and black makrolon, the mix was made on black makrolon


cheers

I need a better glue situation

i cant cut them raw they bend like hell i have to stiffen them so hence the record sandwich its way cheaper than polycarb and the diff in sound is not a deal breaker in fact i can get the plates louder heres another test cut ripped strait from my numark pt1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/klcqcoll63n49ib/...

here is an a/b comparison of a cut i made on one of these blanks(pie plate bonded to old record) this is the original file https://www.dropbox.com/s/es9ai8llqbxb3w3/I%20wish%20I%20could%20shimmy%20like%20my%20sister%20Kate%20-%20Jazzbo%27s%20Carolina%20Serenaders%20%20%281922%29.MP3?dl=0 this is the...

further progress

I have a mix up on soundcloud search nexus6ix the mix is called lathe cut dub mix check that for playback keep in mind I played it on numark pt 1 so on a regular deck the fidelity would be slightly higher.

i made a demo of some dub 45s i cut for my own use all music used as demo not for resale all records cut on my diy embossing lathe material is black lexan cut with tungsten. played on two numark pt1 turntables in one take recorded with reaper https://soundcloud.com/nexus6ix/lathe-cut-dub-mix enjoi!!!

ive had a few ppl on the board msg me about my setup

so i made a very quick vid

Real talk

i use a up to 500g and tungsten on lexan and i can play them at 78 no prob

as a rule tho i cut at 33 with the audio slowed down to play back at 78 and the fidelity is much better

cheers

you dont need 45 cut all your audio at 33 slowed down to play back at 45

boom!

yeah im not sure the effect would be stellar being that the adhesive is a layer

im trying to convince them to just do black

10-4 ill try to convince them to do a one sided picture disc with a gold metallic sticker


cheers and thanks

i have seen records cut on mirrored acrylic i may try this

what colors does lexan/makrolon/polycarb come in
i have this client thats asking for gold, i cant even get black locally so feel like this is just not happening

cheers
