That could work, but then how would you mix them? Cueing from few bars further into the start of the tune?
It's just annoying that its not even old plates, have had the problem with brand new fresh plates,try to mix the dub on the first beat and the needle jumps everywhere.

Re: So who actually cuts dubplates?
i guess he meant you shouldn't move the plate back and forth on the cue all the time like some djs tend to do while waiting to let the record go.
+ often the skipping is caused by loose center holes, so maybe that's worth checking out. that would also explain why it happens with brand new plates, too.

Re: So who actually cuts dubplates?

Re: So who actually cuts dubplates?
why dont yous just get dubs cut instead of acetate? they last loads longer and cos your talking about it in a forum none of you are gonna be playing them on soundsystems anytime soon

Re: So who actually cuts dubplates?
Just wondering how many of you have your tracks properly mastered before you send them to get them cut? Or are you paying extra for them to be mastered properly at the same time?
Hoping to get a couple of tracks cut at dubstudio in a couple of weeks and wonderin whether the standard basic mastering done before the cut will be sufficient or if i should fork out more to get a more thorough job done? Your experiences??

Re: So who actually cuts dubplates?
Depends how good you are at mastering since dubstudio will master the track before cutting it to dub.Praya wrote:Just wondering how many of you have your tracks properly mastered before you send them to get them cut? Or are you paying extra for them to be mastered properly at the same time?

Re: So who actually cuts dubplates?
What i mean is, does their mastering involve getting the tracks sounding their best, or is it just fixing anything (freqs, stereo width...etc) that'll fuck up the cut and then getting it loud?

Re: So who actually cuts dubplates?
I've got nothing but love for Dubstudio. Henry is a very nice guy and you can tell him about the overall sound you'e aiming for in advance. Before the actual cutting you usually get a sample of the mastered file so some changes might be done (which was never necessary in my case). When cutting dubs there I usually order some digital masters as well.
Never got acetates cut though but all the vinyl dubs still sound great and I've never experienced any troubles while cueing them up or crackles at the start or anything.

Re: So who actually cuts dubplates?
Can anyone explain why the blackbox xxx series are cut closer to the centre? If higher frequencies deteriorate closer to the centre surely you would want to start from the outside? Cheers
Re: So who actually cuts dubplates?
it's basically just a 10" cut to a 12" plate. i guess there's probably no technical reason for that, just a gimmick to seperate that series from the other black box and box clever releases. i think you often get the tps on 12" (even if the release is planned to be on 10") so maybe they thought 'why not just go with that?'.benjaminC wrote:Can anyone explain why the blackbox xxx series are cut closer to the centre?

Re: So who actually cuts dubplates?
Surely depends on the track? Probably more a case of a dodgy mix down being fixed if anything. So you could argue that being a waste maybe but I dunnoepochalypso wrote:waste of moneyHarosh wrote:stem mastering

yeah...ehbrums1 wrote:Why's that? iirc was hydraulics a stem masterepochalypso wrote:waste of moneyHarosh wrote:stem mastering
lol.
its just excessive I think. if the premaster is mixed properly you shouldnt need stem mastering tbh
