![]() VINYL RECORDING SERVICE Here some practical considerations of recording to vinyl: The recording length is limited by the dynamic range of the signal. Below some standard recording times per format, it is possible to record longer if the music permits this ( e.g. quieter sounds, only speech, little high frequencies or loud basses ). We'll not cut signals under 30Hz, the tonearm of a turntable has its resonance frequency at about 20 Hz, this can make the needle jump out of the groove! High frequencies at high volume can pose difficulties aswell although you can cut this, the playback needle will have trouble replicating it so the sound can be distorted. Phase differences in the low end (stereo effects) can cause certain problems as well. Because of all this we need to do some checks and possibly slight alterations prior to cutting something on a record! To protect the cutter head we use an elliptical equalizer on signals below 200 Hz and roll of the high frequencies from about 17kHz. ![]() INFO & PRICES 12 inch record Best : < 17 Max : 20 minutes 33 RPM < 10 Max : 14 minutes at 45 RPM playing time per side.
