Hello,

I've done vinyl cutting from pd. One thing important is to have the low frequency in phase.
It means you must reduce the stereo component under a certain frequency (ex: 100Hz) and only keep mono.
If it's not mono (engraved horizontally) the stereo component (engraved vertically) of the basses will make the groove jump up and down.
You can use my phasemeter abstractions (joined) to check your signal, mono is vertical, stereo is horizontal.

Don't forget to use a RIAA filter to reduce the importance of basses as well.

Best,
Nicolas

Thanks for the amazing vid. I've been thinking about a homemade record lathe for some time now. The disposable plate idea is genius.

does anyone know much about mastering? i dont.....

anyway i have this record recorder/cutter/lathe and was thinking of doing something like this:

which is funny because i have a similar recorder. although i was thinking just cutting in real-time straight from PD. but to get the best sound maybe i could run it through some kind of "mastering" patch. has anyone made such a thing or know best to do in terms of getting decent masters right from PD? I would think something like:

[equilizer~] - but what one? [adaptive/nlms3~]? adaptive_equilization example which im not sure i would know how to use for this
|
[unauthorized/compressor~] - although there is prob a good vanilla one no?
|
[expander~] ???
|
[exciter~]
|
[zexy/limiter~]
|
[hip~ 40]
|
[lop~ 16000]
|
[dac~]


but i might just make a mess with this....
