Things to know about Lathe-Cut Records:
Lathe-Cut records are a mid-fi way to get your music into the physical realm. This is different than pressed vinyl! These are polycarbonate discs that are sapphire embossed in mono. Because of the manufacturing process, these records play quieter than normal pressed vinyl and may have some amount of surface noise. Each record is cut in real-time. It takes the same amount of time to cut as it does to play the music. Please expect longer turn around times for longer collections of music.
These are a great option for smaller independent artists that do not want to purchase a minimum of 100 vinyl records from a pressing plant. We have a specific mastering process for our record lathes included in the price of every order. Our turn around times for orders are typically 1-4 weeks depending on quantity.
We want anyone to be able to be able to afford their music on records! Our prices range from $6 a disc for a single sided 7in record with no packaging to $39 a disc for a double sided 12in record with a full color jacket. Record order minimum is 10 at a time.
