Try these guys...good pricing and mastering included:
http://www.vinylcarvers.com
They are on vacation until June though.

Considering you've got NY city right next door to you then I would look there. A quick search brings up these 2 sites, both do Vinyl mastering:
http://www.trutonemastering.com/index.html
http://www.poorsparky.com/
http://www.trutonemastering.com/index.html
http://www.poorsparky.com/
all of which are over 3000 miles away from New Jersey. Personally if i'm gonna pay money to get a tune mastered to Vinyl I would want to go and sit in on the session. Make it a learning experience. Those two i've added are just examples and the poor sparky link has done everything from Jay-Z to Miles Davis, I'm sure they could accomodate the Dubstep sound. But at the end of the days its up to Widdler, if he doesn't mind spending a little extra to get his Wax shipped over from the UK then fair enough. Just thought something a little closer to home would be better.relik wrote:No offense, but I don't think either of those places have experience with dubstep. I'd go to a place that works with bass heavy electronic music. Heard nothing but good things from Vinyl Carvers, Carvery Cuts, and Transition.

Yeah, well if you can sit in a studio that would be nice, but then it's usually going to cost you more....usually half hour or hourly rates for studio time and that usually doesn't include the cut, so the price could be pretty expensive just for a one off. Those other places are like $50-75 a pop with mastering and shipping included, plus they already know the sound.
Didn't think it would cost extra to sit in on the session? Got 4 dubs cut last year at transitions, the most exciting part of the whole experience was sitting there while leon worked his magic. Being there while your track is mastered is what its all about, especially if its your first tune being mastered. Transitions will be atleast $75 a side of acetate, plus shipping rates so I can't see the difference. If I was living in the states (and a few minutes form NY) i would definately look around there before considering overseas.relik wrote:Yeah, well if you can sit in a studio that would be nice, but then it's usually going to cost you more....usually half hour or hourly rates for studio time and that usually doesn't include the cut, so the price could be pretty expensive just for a one off.

Most studios in the states like the ones you listed charge anywhere from $20-$60+/hr just for mastering. I'm sure if you asked around you could find someone that knows somebody that could do it cheaper.
Most of the places are overseas, but it's really not that bad even with shipping (Carvery is under $60 mastered, cut and shipped for a 10" with a track on each side). Transition is around the same but they're true dubplates. Carvery and a lot of the other places use those everlasting vinyl/pvc compound plates. They're cheaper, but I heard they last longer. Don't know if there is much of a sound difference though.
The only place I've come across online in the states is Turnstyle Records. They could be close to $100 for a 10" plate after mastering and any other edits, but they're true dubplates too.

Difference is just the material. Acetate plates are usually just coated aluminum plates and they tend to wear out quickly and they are said to have a limited amount of plays before they start sounding like shit. The PVC compound ones (everlasting) are said to have a much longer lifetime such as a regular record. I don't know if there's a difference in sound quality because I've never gotten anything cut myself.

i think this thread has lead u astray...its not dubs u r wanting, right, its promos, white labels? dubs DONT sell, generally, its sumthing u cut (and keep) for yrself. maybe ive misunderstood but if u r shocked by £50 for one plate that can only mean u was expecting sumthing completely different, and if u r thinking of selling then i'm guessing u want considerably more than just one.
if its vinyl pressin u r after then theres places in the states that do short runs. i think theres one in detroit that a lot of ppl use, no idea of the name tho sorry. otherwise theres a place in prague thats cheap.
maybe it aint that u want either tho....?
