vinylcarvers

hiya,
we've put a special introductory offer on our website
www.vinylcarvers.com

cheers,
vc

hmm... not sure if I get what you mean vinylcarvers.... are you suggesting we record our introductions then play it to our guests?

I think its more aimed for the club dj and dance music producers!

I think they make vinyls from mp3 of cds
So you can have your intro on a viynl and play them on your decks.

Though it seems quite expenvice for one track...
Though for a beat track would be usefull.

we make everlasting dubplates

a dubplate is the first stage in the process of pressing vinyl records
you can play it but it will only last for about 20-50plays before the quality deteriorates

our process is new and allows us to make records that last as long as normal vinyls

our service is designed for testing tunes in a club before they get pressed
it'll give you the idea to know what it will sound like when it's on vinyl
and everybody who's been to the process of pressing a vinyl will know about the differences in quality

some djs also send us their personalized intro-tracks to cut

it's not cheap - compared to burning a cd
but we charge the same as you would pay for a normal, deteriorating dubplate

cheers,
vc

Doesn't a MD do the same thing ?

...has no CD player / cd-deck at the clubs they play, and has a couple of days for the dub-plate to arrive.

I can see this being a benefit to dedicated turntablists, but I'm not so sure about modern dance music DJ's.

u know it's like this...
we've been into producing since more than 10 years now
had loads of equipment, did our mixes during the past 5 years in protools only - but were never really satisfied
last year we got ourselves a 25years (!!) old analogue ssl desk
and it's day&night now, finally everything came alive again

same with vinyl
nowaday absolutely useless in terms of technical data
BUT - not to compare with whatever digital format

we agree - and that's for sure - one day vinyl will be equal to horse-drawn carriage
but - they've been telling us this for many years now

cheers,
vc

What did you mean about the above comments? EG: Vinyl and technical data?

And also Vinyl and horse-drawn carriages.

Im assuming this 2nd one to be about the "forseen" disappearence of vinyl records, or at least, replacement by other mediums.

Have you heard anything about any of the raw materials used in Vinyl records (EG: Shop bought vinyl 12'''s and albums), becoming more expensive, or more difficult to obtain? Some forums are showing posts of articles saying that vinyl will be unavailable due to "green" issues by 2009.

Only about 5% of my output at gigs is from vinyl now..but I know that turntablists would be concerned.

ok, we surrender
you're right - we're wrong

how could we...?

cheers,
vc

Whhoooah.

VC.. I think that my last post may have been misunderstood.

I was asking sincerely, and Im sorry if I have made it sound as though it was anything else. That wasnt my intention.

Let me explain/ask more fully.

What was the "technical data" to which you refered to in your post above? Do you mean the "warmth" of non-digital mediums, which many home vinyl users speak of? or was it something else?.

My question about the raw materials used in record making was bourn from some posts which people have told me about on other internet forums, that a raw material, or cooling compound or something (used in vinyl record/album making) wont be permitted in/by 2009. I've read on your website that temperature during the cutting process is critical, so I wondered if some special coolant etc. might have been "banned" in 2009 by some "green law".

I am really sorry if I worded my post in a way that sounded hostile, that really wasnt my intention. Its just me on my normal quest for soaking up any knowledge I can get.

sorry gary, we got you wrong
thought this is gonna turn out as an environmental discussion

with technical data we meant things like frequency response
cause it's an analogue process the music pressed on vinyl will never be the same like on the master
there's always a loss
but it seems that people are somehow used to that certain sound as it seems to be warmer
this is why we compared analogue and digital mixing
with the appearance of digital mixers a couple of years ago everybody thought the analogue ones will vanish
now we're convinced that they are going to stay a very long time

don't know about the stuff that's used in the pressing process
we're doing dubs only and our raw material is mainly normal pvc
we heat it up just somewhere between 25 and 35 degrees celsius - not to compare with a pressing process

sorry again!
cheers,
vc
