Cutting Records with Equipment of the Past and Todays Technology
Maker Faire Bay Area 2023
October 13th-22nd
We've refurbished 1950's era record lathes, originally used to record audio on acetate blanks by radio stations and courts in the era before magnetic tape and digital recording. By adding a modern sapphire stylus, modern amplifiers and computerized signal processing we can cut great sounding audio on polycarbonate discs (or squares) that play on any record player. Experience the fusion of technology and nostalgia as we guide you through process that creates each intricate groove, transforming raw sound into a tangible masterpiece. Time permitting, we will cut 7 inch "single" records live for Faire attendees (for free, but only original, non-copyrighted sources).
