WAV's they legally purchased but now want on wax

what are people thoughts on cutting tracks that have previously been available on vinyl but have the wav (those dmz that went for sale a few years ago for example?) personally i wouldn't feel too comfortable cutting my own version of a release

What a weird position, but I have to ask since your mixes below suggest you are on vinyl only: do you have them, did you purchase them back then, and if so do you drop them at all in your mixes on CD?

I recently found mine in 320 on an old HDD and had I not been so shortsighted (I wasn't into vinyl at all back then) and bought them in an inferior bit rate I'd be tempted to cut Mud and Twist up VIP on vinyl. I don't see the problem myself.

Now, if you decide to mass market them and inflate the current supply in order to profit from it then I could understand the stigma associated to it--and even then I don't think anyone but Mala, Coki or Loefah could really have any valid criticisms. (And I use the word loosely as they Marketed their product in this format with all the known pros/cons associated with it.)

Yeh seems to come down to how you personally feel about the matter- I would certainly prefer a legitimate copy of 003 to one I've cut

In answer to your question- I don't own the rips, no... If I did and had the ability to mix with them, I probably would do so for personal enjoyment but would seek a physical copy before including it in a shared mix

hendra cut lurka's prophet vip. iirc, he posted this a while back and lurka himself was pretty excited that someone (especially from here in the states!) would bother getting a digital release cut to wax.

yeh man I was heavily disappointed when that release didn't make it to vinyl and had considered getting it cut as well- My mate called dibs though.. I got an icicle and silkie tune done instead

Speaking of which, Icicle & Silkie are each playing a show here in Sydney at the end of the month (same night, show clashes)- gotta try bring my dub into the city and get em each to sign it or something

I cut music I get sent, and off friends and my own tunes of course. As Thinking says, Both plastic dubs and acetates have their pros and cons, but I've always preferred acetate.

100% recommend Dub Studio, Henry is a don. Great guy, great cuts, great service, great prices, cannot go wrong. Bigup everyone still cutting and playing records. Respect!

[eshscramble]

i cut my own tunes and ones i'm sent from artists i like.
i've only played on acetate... although my friend p man has a couple from dubstudio - and i liked the way the felt/sounded when i was at his studio.

i'd recommend turnstyle records (.com) for anyone stateside who is looking to cut dubs... oscar is really good and the prices are more than fair. i've heard of people across the atlantic cutting batches of dubs cause it's cheaper even with shipping!

[claps12345]

Cheers for all the input guys! Think ill go with dubstudio!

eh? so you think a small scale label shouldn't be pissed if someone bootlegs their releases?

repackaging someone's work and selling it for profit, without a licensing agreement, is a pretty dickish thing to do, shows zero respect.

he didnt say selling them... what he said was if he got a digi copy but missed the vinyl release then he might consider cutting the digi version to vinyl for personal use
