The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Hello There,

Thank you

Thank you emorritt, That tells me what I have wanted to know..........that pretty much the lathe was set up with predetermined eq and dynamics and there was no further adjustment needed as the cutter reached the inner groove area. What had prompted this question is that in the transfer of my old cla...

Thank you mossboss and emorritt for your replies I think I am beginning to understand what is really going on. I listen 95% of the time to classical music and usually the piece will end in a great crescendo, and most of the time it sounds compressed compared to any crescendo at the outer grooves May...

If I understand what you are describing, the cutting engineer must cut back on amplitude to get more playing time onto the record. May I ask, if treble roll off in the inner grooves is also done ? And is b...

:?: Gentleman; I hope someone out there can give me some GENERAL PRINCIPLES to follow. My hobby is transferring old classical lp music to cd. I have read that the dynamic range handling capability of vinyl changes by about 10 to 15 db from the outer to inner grooves, and therefore bass compression h...
