which tonearm do you use ?

Sounded better then I thought it would, too bad for wasting a blank on this demo, you shoulda prepared 20 mins then dug the cutter 'straight' to a locked groove at the edge of the cutters inside range. Wish you had showed the quality of these "blank vinyls" by back queueing over a taps a few dozen times literally trying to rub the vibration out of the etch one can with some really cheap 120g commerical records (eg SCTV Bill & Doug Mckenzie - Eh Hoser) all of my copies just have a static sound where the beer can opening sound was :P Super nostaligc thank you for sharing !! Wonder if you can still get the blanks I remember thinking that $20 was ridiculous for a write once blank. Mind you this was not long after blank cd's were $20. Curious how much a lathe like this and 'blanks' would be now and how they stand up to actually being played back?.

Is the music you hear on video input coming from the speakers or the heads on either side of the cutting head? I have the same machine and unfortunately the vu meter before preparing to cut has a wobble but no sound

I don't see the point of making one record, where is the source from? Radio? cd? another vinyl? I peronnally use studio reel to reel recordersjust because I am old analogue fan. Plus where do you get the blank vinyl from?

I'd like to know: (1) Where can I find one of those record recording machines? (2) How much does one of those cost? (3) How do you divide each side of the disc into tracks while recording? Thank you! :)

I'd pre record prepared sides just as sound files in a DAW (cooledit soundforge audition audacity etc) on a computer and record through the nicest capture card you can get and use the TASCAM laser (or HDMI audio input?) as much as you can for the digital signal quality. For the lead in just insert betwen 0.5 - 3 secs of silence and then for track dilineation use silence again, first pick 3 - 7 secs and use same interval between tracks on both sides A/AA. I wouldn't want to get fancy with this thing at first esp but I imiagined doing the runout/leadout which I always like being a silent infinite loop. So w sound off I'd increase the cutter velocity toward center then halt cutters velocity toward center so it cuts a full circle back onto itself for infinite loop.

What you put into this machine is what you get out. Correctly mastered material helps. Vinyl to vinyl works. Cd to vinyl works. Something mastered by a vinyl engineer for vinyl works. There’s dynamics. Depth width loudness static dirt also swarth and heat which all go into machine and it’s what comes out on the other end is the end result. It takes many attempts to learn any lathe. Some people this it’s like a tape recorder hit record press play. Don’t have any high expectations when it comes to a lathe. It’s not easy there’s a learning curve it’s an art. If yiu don’t put in time skill effort. You’ll get bad results at the other end. Not everyone can be a cutting engineer in 2 hours or minutes. It takes skill.

I remember marvelling at this gear porn when it was released, but I suspect it didn't help the Vestax bank account one bit (and they ended up bankrupt). Too expensive for amateurs, too amateur for pro's.

I remember when this came out and I discussed with a friend about investing in one to cut vinyl just at the end of the vinyl DJ era, as digital mixing was just kicking off so it seemed too risky at the time. I kind of regret not doing it now!

@daveymichael6891 2 жыл бұрын

This might sound a silly question but how safe is cutting vinyl this way? This is something I've wanted to get Into in terms of making short vinyl runs but in essence I see your heating plastic... I always thought you etched the plastic with the needle. The type of plastic used in the manufacture of vinyl is actually quite dangerous... Prolonged breathing of any smoke fumes long term ie doing this day in day out can have quite serious implications. I'd just like to know if there are any health warnings associated with this form of pressing vinyl?

@Wassermelonenbaum Жыл бұрын

You dont burn anything, you just heat the plastic up to around 40°C and CUT a groove out. At those temperatures you wont release any foams. You can also heat the stylus itself, but then again you dont want to melt, you want to CUT. Usually you'd have a tube sucking in the material you cut away right next to the stylus to prevent it from tangling up. Alternatively you can also EMBOSS, which means pushing a groove into the plastic without removing any material. But that means your grooves cant be as big, resulting in higher noise floors and possibly skipping. And only up to about 15KHz of frequency. But if you are still concerned, putting the whole rig under a fume hood would actually be fantastic due to the crazy amount of dust particles those discs pull out of nowhere!

I owned one of these when they first came out. There is a steep learning curve and often frustrating art form to cutting the vinyl. The temperature has to be perfect, you’ll need to sweep the excess towards the spindle perfectly otherwise the cutting needle will pick it up and record it into the harmodisc. This can be extremely frustrating and expensive to the inexperienced. You could have it perfect but then the excess gets cluttered and bam, your recording is ruined. Very much an art form but the quality is not the best. Still this was amazing for its time, but at 10k for its initial release, it included plane tickets to California where a vestax rep would train you for a couple of hours on how to use this.

@djdeejdjay8669 2 жыл бұрын

it wasn't amazing for its time coz records have been manufactured for decades... 10k for a badly recorded vinyl is a con. also the new cutting tool replacements were expensive as well. I also remember the release of these machines....

@djdeejdjay8669 2 жыл бұрын

@@moeranyc Yeah I kinda get you but it was just an innovation and not before it's time coz cutting machines have been around for decades,it's that no one else done it for djs and for the price it was out of 99.9% of djs hands and they were the only people it was aimed at due to the low grade cutting of tunes. How many djs did you ever see in comp using these vinyls cut from the Vestax?? Time code is a djs reality.....the Vestax was very much a dream.... I will say, yet again another brilliant concept from Vestax that never took off....like the PDX 5000 and the outrageous Phoenix ...but they should of stayed coz if you look at the price of the Mk7 and it's more expensive brother they are in the same ball park with price and the A&H 6v was a legend! Vestax were very much the innovative out of any company and for sure will be very missed....they were the only match for Technics and Pioneer!

@@djdeejdjay8669 my statement was that it was amazing for its time. Why? Because a vinyl cutter with the ability to cut on harmodiscs was finally made more available and more affordable to the DJ consumer. 10k is still a lot but compared to the industrial machines that existed this one was a smaller form factor in comparison and cheaper. Not claiming it was first, but vestax did something bold and innovative. They even had the beat junkies demo how “easy” it was to make a record during their product demonstration. I knew a handful of djs who purchased one, but it wasn’t a market where it would have sold 10 thousand of these cutters throughout the globe I think. Still, when I purchased one it made every dj I knew contact me because now they had the ability to “print” one vinyl of their music or their scratch samples without having to spend the outrageous amount vinyl producing plants were charging. Just one! They could hear it, decide if they wanted to mass produce it, and even if it wasn’t a perfect cut, it was now on a format they could spin and scratch without having to buy the minimum. That’s also what made it amazing. I know dub plates could be cut from other companies, but this was a new harmodisc and it turned the dj who owned it into a valuable resource for helping other djs cut their music. It was amazing for its time.

They certainly were not easy to use either lol...they came with a lesson on using them ..
