Lathe Cut Records

At https://recordcut.com Songs that are not released on vinyl can be released on polycarbonate lathe cut records. Great instrumental House cut from Heritage Limited. I've also heard a similar song with vocals on another YouTube site. This Disco House Producer and DJ based in Amsterdam wrote this song while on a train to Paris from Amsterdam. Thanks for making this one!

Ten years ago this January I managed to get the keys to a bunker. I had been looking for a space to build a lab; a space with enough room to start new projects, invite people to collaborate on music, visual art, live performances, live streaming, and any other idea that might come along. One of the ideas I wanted to try was getting a vinyl cutting machine, a lathe, to make vinyl records in-house. I liked the DIY approach; it gave me a sense of freedom. I saw it as a way to document the things that happened in the lab, through small runs of vinyl records. I loved the idea of being able to bypass the whole label planning process and cut music to vinyl on the same day it was recorded. Over the years, many sessions and collaborations have been added to the archive this way, exclusively on limited vinyl.

Fast forward ten years, and many of those initial ideas have come to fruition. STOOR Live, Stay Home Soundsystem, Knob Twiddlers Hangout, and Pink Noise have all unfolded nicely, thanks to the involvement and energy of a growing circle of collaborators. This year the focus is on further developing the vinyl cutting and custom packaging ideas that have been evolving over time. New music is currently taking shape in the studio, with a series of releases planned for the coming months.

To kick off this new series of releases, I’m re-releasing the first two records ever to come out of the STOOR project: S1 and S2, the first two editions of the vinyl archive. At the time they were intentionally released under the obscure alias JPG, with only 50 copies made. Now they are being re-released as Speedy J, digitally and on vinyl. The vinyl editions come in the classic STOOR vinyl archive packaging: each hand-numbered copy housed in 450gsm sleeves with magnetic flaps and an info pocket, complemented by anti-static, anti-dust audiophile inner sleeves.

I share my audio excursion to a place outside Asheville, North Carolina where artists can create their own custom vinyl records without going broke!

Of course, there are pros and cons to every method of producing vinyl; but for those who want to enter into the vinyl world for their material, this option may be a steppingstone to get an artists' feet wet!

A REALLY INTERESTING EXPERIMENT, I FOUND A RAY CHARLES 78 DISC ON YOU TUBE BEING PLAYED AT 45 RPM SO I RECORDED IT AT 45 RPM AND PLAYED IT BACK AT 78 RPM, EXCELLENT RESULTS FOR THE FIRST TEST. HALF SPEED MASTERING ALLOWS YOU TO RECORD MUCH HIGHER LEVELS THAT WOULD OVERMODULATE A REGULAR RECORDING, THIS TECHNIQUE IS USED IN FULL SCALE RECORD PRODUCTION...

🎧 About This Video
I'm showing you my complete mastering workflow from start to finish, exactly as I deliver it to cutting engineers.

Inside, you’ll see how I:
- Sequence and time each vinyl side for optimal playback and groove real estate
- Manage loudness
- Build a simulation cut using Simulathe to test excursion, width, and velocity
- Diagnose problem areas (like out-of-phase signals or overly hot high frequencies)
- Use tools like automation, filtering, and monitoring to prep a cuttable, punchy, clean master
- Format and export files with all necessary naming, sequencing, and documentation for the cutting engineer
- Review test pressings and check for consistent playback before full manufacturing

A lot of people get in touch with me to ask about getting started in the record cutting industry and it's a diificult place to navigate if you don't know where to look and who to ask.

In this video I explain how to get started, what books to look for and the best forum to learn from - The Secret Society Of The Lathe Trolls.

Here's a very candid video of me talking about and cutting a record in real time.
This was a test cut for some records that I will be cutting so I thought 'd show you the process.

Primera Entrega de Surcos Vivos !! el primer podcast donde invitamos a dos artistas del live set y grabamos un split en vinilo mediante la tecnica lathe cut o embossing.
surcos vivos es fruto de la complicidad, las ganas de experimentar, de crear una muestra de lo que podemos hacer en nuestro estudio, un proyecto que esperamos se mantenga en el tiempo.
Próximamente el Vol. 2!!

Para esta primera ocasión, me doy el lujo de presentar a quien considero uno de los precursores de toda esta ya no tan nueva ola de músicos electrónicos de garaje, de compositores, de estudio de grabación casero, de buscadores de aparatos raros en bazares y mercados de pulgas en que me incluyo, de malabaristas que hacemos música en solitario al mejor estilo del hombre orquesta.
Sonique no solo se gano mi admiración sino que se convirtio en un gran amigo, por eso esta primera entrega es por y para el! por eso decidí darme el lujo y honor de compartir este Split con mi proyecto musical, creando un extrañopero apasionado split, hibrido entre el Dub y el Affrohouse de Sonique con el electro-oscureteo habitual de Stalker Ego. Una mezcla inconcebible para algunos, para nosotros simplemente un ejemplo mas de que en la música las barreras no existen, existe lo bueno, existe lo malo. como todo en la vida, acá simplemente homenajeamos la vida y el lujo de vivir un día mas, de hacer música un día mas.

An update - after four years! - to my "Making Records At Home" video. Newcomers who are wondering what all this is about should really view that one first, as it tries to explain the basics of record-making, and how my home-made record lathe works. In this new video I present a second lathe, with some improvements, and at last make the technical (and financial...) leap from embossing to 'proper' cutting - and attempt to explain the difference. The second half of the video comprises a playback of the track cut to disc in the first half.

Please note: I'm not yet offering cutting services. If you have an interest in this sort of thing, please see my first video "Making Records at Home". I have made all my CAD drawings, software etc open-source for anyone to follow. The introductory blurb for that video lists the GIT repositories in which all the files are stored.

In this episode, I sit down with Tasha Trigger of Lathe to the Grave — a UK-based company making handmade lathe cut vinyl records.

Presented by A to Z Media (http://atozmedia.com)

We break down what lathe cuts are, how they’re made, and why they’re a smart option for indie artists and small labels who want limited-edition records without the cost or risk of traditional pressing.

Tasha shares her passion for the craft, her thoughts on pricing and sound quality, and some of the more eccentric projects she’s cut (including a record of someone saying the C-word 500 times). We also talk about packaging, small-run merch strategies, and why lathe cuts are more than just music — they’re collectibles.

A QUICK TUTORIAL ON THE RECORD LATHE AND HOW IT WORKS. IT IS STRAIGHT FORWARD TO USE, HOWEVER THE ADJUSTMENTS ARE INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT, THE GROOVES ARE TINY SO IT IS DIFFICULT IN THE EXTREME TO ADJUST THE MECHANISIM ITSELF. I AM NOT AT ALL HAPPY WITH THE NEW STYUS, IT MAY IMPROVE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS BUT THE ORIGINAL STYLUS SOUNDED BETTER. THESE MACHINES ARE INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE, THAT BEING A REALATIVE TERM, THE MACHINE COST $ 12,000...
