Factors affecting max cutting levels, etc.

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

The waveform of what? A recording of your cut, or the source material?
the source material

thanks for the recommendation on the plugin - didn't know that site.

just using the filters built-in the VC200, which put everything below 700hz in mono and apparently has some high end/low end rolloff that i'm not sure of.

Velocity is the definition of level. Cm/sec
FYI, for those cutters who have never used a test tone record. The 1K tone is measured at 7 cm/sec.

This is the NAB standard reference level for 1k Hz stereo lateral. There are other standards.
