Re: Sillitoe Lathes
Sounding totally great!! Congratulations!
The compensation EQ looks good. I guess it will be a good amount of testing before it is setup totally right, and even then it will vary with program material. With the current setup and content, I am finding it a touch 'crispy' and maybe a little mid-scooped.
That 13kHz-14kHz spike, within the dip and after the sharp cut on your fabfilter, seems to be right in the hotspot of what I am finding crispy. Now I mustn't forget that this is a compensation EQ so things might need to be extreme, but many mastering engineers have taught me to: find the desired frequency using high gain and low bandwidth, then reduce gain and broaden bandwidth, set to 'light' taste– go under rather than overboard with parametrics.
Are you doing any mid-side processing? It might be fun for this.
For those who are unfamiliar, here is a video:

Re: Sillitoe Lathes
This sounds fantastic. Flo's Caruso head is very hard to get a hold of. I have been on his waiting list for nearly as long as I've been playing with a DIY head design. If the truth be told, I would abandon all my DIY projects if I could actually get my hands on a real Caruso. The whole DIY process has been extremely interesting and I have learned an amazing amount of stuff, but at some point you have to weigh the time spent trying to figure out what works and what doesn't VS getting your hands on the real deal. Caruso is the real (modern) deal in my opinion. I'm sure you agree.Sillitoe wrote:I was thinking it was just my browser
Great results friend.

Re: Sillitoe Lathes
Simply amazing. Congratulations for the result. Pro-Q Vst is powerful. I'm still having trouble keeping high frequencies in my cutting head, but I believe I'm close to getting cut with similar quality. All are achieving fantastic results with their projects, thanks to all.
Re: Sillitoe Lathes
Cheers fellas.
I agree Bryan, Caruso is the real deal, Flo is the real deal.
Here's the recreation of the corrective EQ from a cut of white noise, you will no doubt be engrossed in this amazing peice of contempory cinema. I sped it up to 400% to increase the action while maintaining the crucial element of suspense.
The last attenuation at 6kHz is to tame sibilance.
Very nice plugin with real time analysis tools that made this easy. Cheers

Re: Sillitoe Lathes
Exhilarating
A great cinematic achievement
What a finale!
More please
Thanks

Re: Sillitoe Lathes
Haha, cheers Mossboss.
I've seen reviews saying that the finale was a lttile "flat"...
But that was what I was gong for.

Re: Sillitoe Lathes
Here's a cut dedicated to all a y'all experimenters, I highly recommend singing it to yourself in the mirror for that little extra ego boost!
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rxj8tbdss3kepns/Prince%20of%20Vinyl.aif?dl=0
Tweaked EQ a little, 7cm/sec tone, quiet cut, sibilance, lacking some highs and stereo width... But overall it's getting better.
Somewhat of a rarity, you will need to dig deep to find the lossless original file for comparison...
More lathe stuff soon!
Cheers
James

Re: Sillitoe Lathes
Thankyou James its Been a while since I look in the mirror come to one conclusion..I love myself ! Ha
Nice job sound good man !

Re: Sillitoe Lathes
James, you love yourself, we know that.
Really one should say, nice job to Flo if we are being honest.

Re: Sillitoe Lathes
You can't hole the cutterhead up to the disc with your hand, can you! Excellent work by both parties, through and through.opcode66 wrote:James, you love yourself, we know that.

Re: Sillitoe Lathes
Hi Todd, what's not to love?
Cheers Bahndahn, but please see the extract from gospel 2425 from the book of 66.
"... I appreciate your input, but, I got this. If you hadn't noticed by now, once I desire something, I achieve it. No level of complexity is unapproachable to me..."
(Full transcript and e-book coming soon).
Todd could hold the cutterhead up to the disc with his hand, we have seen his dexterity with the phone... It would of course be variable depth and pitch, but he is perfecting that with his vst, pre-orders available soon.
Keep it real friendo!

Re: Sillitoe Lathes
When's the Ebook coming out and is cream by prince Someones favourite song ?
Gotta love the mentos commercials very funny
Anyway enough crap by me I'll hand over the mic to you Sillitoe continue with you excellent lathe stuff.
Caruso's sounding crisp man looks like you have done a great job on the eq and lathe adjustments
One questions does your lathe automatic head
Drop have the finer setting ? you can adjust ?

Re: Sillitoe Lathes
Hi dimi,
Haha, thanks mate! Things are going well.
Yes, the voltage going to the head drop mechanism can be adjusted via a 25 turn trimpot.
The setting that I'm currently using isn't quite as noisy as in those previous videos.
Once you've calibrated the dashpot and spring you can dial in the minimum voltage needed to push the ramp on the pivot bar to lift the head, then you adjust the suspension box height.
I have added a fine adjustment for the suspension box height allowing the user to adjust in 0.01mm increments.
I will make a video detailing these and other functions of the lathe, but I've decided to wait until I've finished off some other things.
Cheers
James
