Used these guys about 6 or 7 times now..
They only cut to vinyl I think but always sound phat! Must of played one of the plates about 50 times now and it still sounds clean.

24 quid for two sided 12'' including postage too. Obviously never gonna sound like a transition plate but you get what you pay for and I think these lot are great value for money..

Sound like I work for them here..

wow wanting to even more now

I'd say go for vinyl, especially if its your first plate. Acetate does sound better than vinyl cuts but after a a few plays on anything less than a perfectly set up turntable and needle combination, it will sound a lot worse and be much harder or impossible to cue.

I've had acetates cut at transition before, never used dubstudio. I didn't word it right, I was asking for opinions on them :6:
Also the acetate i have from transition still sounds really good. Cueing is fine on it too

Got 2 10" acetates 2 weeks ago from Dubstudio and they sound great, I reckon the 12" will sound even better ;)

Great service also.

i would like to but i can't produce at all i got ableton from my cousin but it is just not working all out for me and i have no idea how to get tunes from other producers to cut on dubplate so i think it would take a while before i have one.
It's about dropping a track at the wrong speed, and it sounding better than the real thing.

talk to any mates you have who make decent beats and ask them for wavs

or get really good at mixing and make producers want to give you dubs, either locally or on the internet

i think the second option is the best one for me then :)

i haven't got around to cutting any of either so i'm no expert but i think acetates are meant to sound a bit better than vinyls, especially on a system. they're a lot more fragile than vinyl dubs though and can wear out after so many plays (though i've heard this is exaggerated?)

regret bigging up eds vinyl now. it is true that one the plates i got from them still sounds very fresh however since then, i have received two shit sounding plates. i mean like they sound like a two balloons rubbing together at parts and the guy has been very unhelpful with this problem.
would not recommend them now
