Q&A

WHAT IS REAL-TIME VINYL CUTTING?

It is a method of sound recording when in our case a diamond tip cuts a groove into an empty vinyl record.

This method of recording needs from the beginning to the end the assistance of a person who manually forms the introduction of the groove the gaps between the tracks, the end of the groove. At the same time, it adjusts the cutting parameters during the cutting itself according to the given rules of this craft. It is therefore a unique recording with unmistakable sound quality.

HOW MANY MINUTES DO IT FIT ON EACH SIDE OF THE BOARD?

We distinguish three sizes of carrier, namely 12 ", 10"

and 7 ". Vinyl has a fixed space for recording sound and it is up to you how to handle it. Simply put, it depends a lot on the music genre, the level of the input signal, the amount of bass frequencies and the speed of 33 rpm or 45 rpm. I will give an example: 12 "vinyl, speed 33 rpm, input signal 0db, the source is not dance music, which has certain specifics - footage on each side is max. about 17min, is about 34min in total.

HOW MANY PIECES OF VINYL CAN I HAVE?

We produce from one to fifty pieces. More can be agreed upon agreement and more detailed specifications.

WHAT ARE THE PARAMETERS DELIVERED BY MUSICAL MATERIALS?

The record of vinyl it is specific affair. You should forget stereo bass frequencies and phase irregularities. It is not a digital signal where almost anything is possible. The audio material for the cut should be in .wav or .aiff format. If you have an MP3 format, do not convert it to another format, so it is clear that it is a "poor quality" recording. MP3 also has its high-quality and low-quality appearance. MP3 at the lowest resolution is difficult to record on vinyl. Therefore, we recommend delivering audio materials in the highest possible quality. At least 16bit / 24bit / 44.1KHz or higher.
