Re: Cutting a hidden/alternate track - VMS80
Cheers! Yeah this I think the new JW album has caused some recent odd requests haha. All good for us right? Thanks for the info. I know that a Monty Python record was cut I this way. I can see how a fixed pitch with bags of land could work with two separate cuts..bit joining them? Surely a one in a ...

Twinning
Hi.
Could someone please explain twinning to me please? Is it the same as the cutterhead lifting due too much stereo being cut against depth of cut.
Cheers.

Cutting a hidden/alternate track - VMS80
Hi.. Does anyone here have any info on creating alternate grooves and the geometrical/cutting theory behind making this work on an album? I had a client ask about it. I know this has been achieved on a VMS80... Anyone done this? How would you go about connecting the alternate groove with say track t...

Blurry Lines and Non maintained Depth
Hi, I've been having a problem with one particular cut. Hopefully some more experienced guys can help. VMS-80 cutting with preview played back from a DAW. I'm getting badly formed grooves. The centre line in particular looked jagged. The stylus was recently changed (with a new one) and I cut a blank...

Re: Mono for Stereo depth control
The land economy control (marked o a b c ). No don't seem to have this on the 80 i'm using. Isn't packing grooves tight the whole point of a preview comp on any lathe?? I've also noticed another feature i've never used and that's 'secondary depth'. It doesn't move in relation to the 'primary' depth ...

Re: Mono for Stereo depth control
Cheers Phinster That does help thanks. Depth control is maintaining a minium depth as stereo content will naturally widen/narrow the groove. So if the signal is mono the minimum depth wouldn't change only the land as amplitude increases. Would you agree that's an accurate assertion? The mono switch ...

VMS80 : Mono for Stereo depth control
Hi All, I am a trainee cutting engineer & being taught on a VMS-80. The other day I was introduced to the concept of the 'mono for stereo' switch the pitch computer control panel. My mind is farting all over the place. Could someone give me a simple nuts and bolts understanding of this? My previous ...

Re: Don't shoot new guy!!! I have some basic questions
The point is to pack the grooves tightly at times of lower volume and then expand back out to base pitch when louder. Cool, so the land is increased when the groove is louder & shorter when lower in level, obviously to maximise the amount you can fit onto one disc. Emphasis on recording. De-emphasi...

Don't shoot new guy!!! I have some basic questions
Hi, I'm not gonna refer to myself as a newbie, that's a Gearslutz term & well... enough said on that. I've also had some basic disc cutting experience/knowledge in the past & trying to get back into it, I need to relearn some of the basic workflow & technical points, I have a couple of questions I c...
