i said of the source.. your talking about the actual music.. I was talking about the exact reproduction of the source, the line out of your mastering console. With a non-feedback head you have a less accurate representation of the source material. Don't let your cutting head dictate and define your...

Gorgeous footage.

One question boggles my mind though, when the records are on the toolex to be sleeved, how does the paper not tear when the wax falls down into it? Is there some kind of padded bottom holding the sleeve so the record doesn't tear it when it drops?

Presto 6N cutting arm rest needed

Hello

Anyone out there happen to have an extra cutting arm rest for right above the speed engage switch? My second machine didn't have one and resting it on the tone arm rest is driving me nuts.

Anyone? Thanks guys!

I'd try it but I'm afraid of the damage that may occur to the diamond.

Any word on lasting time if cut with the diamond? Or if sapphire would do the jobby job?

I've had many a conversation with souri and he is set in his ways, probably due to being burned by people trying to get distro when his vr first surfaced. He told me all about sending samples to people and never hearing back nor getting the samples returned so he was out however many dollars he sent...

I want to see how the motor drives the platter. Is he doing it with a belt or some sort of mechanism that still drives the inside of the platter

Soundforge pitch adjust

I read before on here about slowing a master down 74% and cutting at 33 to achieve 45 speed but I can't for the life of me figure out where on the pitch adjust settings on soundforge to get it just right. Any try this? I figured it out on the 6n I have which runs too fast but not on the one that is ...

Are you referencing Simon from The Exchange?

What studio was it used in? I had our first releases cut by Simon so I was wondering if it was the same machine.

Thanks!

just a heads up, the head isnt bad at all, gib did a great job rewinding it - it cuts great and the bass and mids are nice and strong and warm but i do a lot of lathe cuts for people and use a grampian on my other machine so i need to keep the same quality across the records i cut so this one needs ...
