The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

i generally cut on lexan and i get better results on that for sure but ive had great results on plastic plates the main problem has been warping of the plates after i emboss, as long as they stay flat i can play them i tried gluing cardstock to the matt side and it worked but i like the idea of havi...

yes its a bit back and zero heat im using a pa poweramp and a computer to do the processing (eq multiband compressor and limiting) at first i thought the heat was the problem when i was embossing single plates and they would curl up but it made little difference, by sandwiching them together i can e...

ill second using an sp10mk2 they can still be had at some radio stations and if you cant find these a gates or mcurdy are the answer

ive been fuckin around with plates for a long minute and im finally happy with the result this is embossed on my homemade machine(home made cutterhead) using jerry tate tungsten to emboss what i did is use carpet tape to sandwich two plates together to make a double sided record blank i think it sou...

sellling my lathe its a diy and does embossed cuts very well

this is pickup only in eastern canada

cheers

sloping backwards should work

an sp10 mk2 would be a great solution

a compressor after the source would tame any big peaks and if you want to add some air to the top then add an eq with some extra hi end after the compressor or just play with it until you get what you want.

cheers

the original ttx had problems with overheating and there was a sensor that would blow , you could bypass this and drill holes in the bottom case to keep the heat down and they would work fine after that, great decks i serviced a lot of them.

audacity has a setting just for this

maybe a compressor is an answer

have you thought about rim drive like a broadcast deck i have one and the torque is way more

i have a mcurdy ch 12 if your interested its mostly complete just needs a cam and an idler wheel but other than that it is mint

shit man i just sold one

the cuts ive heard from the carvery are the best imo but thats just me

the idea is to make permanent archives of analog modulated audio

no im raising up the groove no material is cut
my needle is tungsten

my entire rig cost less than 600 to build

embossing with metal needles is not hifi

but i make playable permanent records and im good with this
