Cut your own records!

Home acetate recorder perhaps, you cut acetate, not vinyl, as vinyl is too elastic for accurate cutting (but great for stamping for mass-production). Acetates wear much faster.


I'm intrigued what compromises have been made for the cutting head - some techical specs would be useful, hard to tell from the sound comparison they give it's very different from professional vinyl pressing, though that could be for any number of reasons - the bass seems to have acquired harmonics though.
 
Elvis Presley started with something like that!
There were some "Record'o'matic" ( I don't remember the name) available in the cities where you could record your voice and deliver across the ocean to your beloved soldier and so on...

I haven't watched at OP's link, sorry 🙄😱😀
 
Quality is not the issue, but nostalgics, mojo, novelty, etc.

Why do romantic dinners and expensive Restaurants still use candles to light tables?
While does the Queen of England often ride a horse drawn carriage?

If he can kickstart and sell a couple hundred, more power to him.
 
> record cutting machine.

Yawn. :yawn: Did that, decades ago, on a "portable" (hah!) machine with some provenance. Cutting is easy. Good cutting is HARD. I know a guy still does it for a living, and an obsession. (There's still clients for good cuts.)

Exactly! We all have stuff we like and which is basically a complete waste 😎

If you call those people fools, you are one too! Iron logic. 😉
