Hey guys. We can get turntables used and stuff like that for a studio (if we need one). Also I do mixin on the good ol comp. If you all want to hear some of my mixes I'll be glad to put them on the ftp. I feel they are TA material. Also is this gonna just be started in the UK right now?

not to be a downer guys but 4000pounds for a vinyl cutter is just not possible...unless it is an acetate cutter only (the records are only playable for about 20 plays) i just finished reading an article about cutting vinyl and it said they usually go for at least 20 grand US!! I would definitely advise contracting that part of the process out! i can tell you now that labels are just offices and that you spend most of your time on the phone talking to the record stores pushing and getting the stats of your vinyl sales!! i interned for logic records NY for about two months a while ago. any other questions feel free to email [email protected] anything i can do to help...

Just thought i'd give the thread a lil bump up... just one request! 'goldenarmz' can i get a copy of that track you've made if poss...and also don't give up guys things are progressin slowly but surely! I got a friend down where i live who is organizin a huge event once a month in portsmouth and on the first night he has 'Lisa Lashes' dj'ing for FREE! not my favourite dj by any means... but my friend grew up with her... so if ya wanna slip me a copy of the first TA vinyl i will make sure Lisa gets a copy... dunno if this will help in anyway... if not just call this a thread bumper hehe

is this a Vinyl Cutting Thingy?

respect,

Posted by goldenarmZ on Apr-20-2001 12:25:

the vinyl cutter that tu_face was on about is �4600, and it is only an acetate cutter, I'm not sure how much 'proper' vinyl cutters are. And I'll post a link to my tune as soon as I upload it. (takes a while on 56k )

ok.. i put the estimate for a vinyl cutter @ 5000 UK pounds..
vinyls @ 1.99 a piece
promotion:
flyers: none
design: nono
TA label website?? (with permission of swamper of course)... 30 / year...

what else is there eh??

Posted by DjTS-NeXiLe on Apr-21-2001 15:42:

hmm. If u knew the right ppl. The website could be free!

I think eventually Communication (telefon calls, um to djs, between the ta'ers and more) and Transport (if we become jetsetters... well it costs, although we wouldnt need now). These can be replaced by the internet now so... mmm. I cant think of much else. Im sure u all can! Ooh and what about vinyl covers/slips/labels ??? theres a thought

more that happe to help

Posted by breakdown on Apr-21-2001 19:31:
