mjuzikman
well i was talkin to the guy at release records today and he mentioned some ACME press or something in mississauga..he said to look up the yellow pages...sorry i cant help u much 
i heard the owner of Play de Record does it... so talk to him next time your there.
Vestax sells one. I have no idea how much it costs, but I do know that they make/sell a unit that cuts records.
Vestax also sells blanks/supplies.

is it legal to press anything i want if i bought the cd? well whatever its just 2 songs so im not gonna buy a 5g press...LKD, i couldnt find any ACME press in the phone book and whats the one in markham called?
yea its legal as long as your make it for your own personal use and dont intend to resell the vinyl. P.S i hear the vestax press isnt all that great and not worth the pricetag.. hey thats my $.02 or is it.. $.50 cents!
the vestex press isn't intended for quality releases or anything like that
i think its more intended for a more feasable way for consumers who make tons of dubplates to cut their own shit
------
you'll be spending around 60 - 100 to get a single acetate record cut...i dont' really think its worth it
im sure you could find the original record for cheaper than that...and it won't be pressed on acetate (i.e. loses quality a lot faster than vinyl)
if you want your own material to play live...i would suggest just putting it on cd
it doesn't really make sense anymore to get dubs cut when cd decks are becoming more popular and are in a large majority of clubs these days

Yes, sadly (at least for me), the wisest and most economical thing to do is invest in a Pioneer CDJ.
Just wait for SACD decks. Then vinyl's sound quality will be licked forever!
This is my friend's vinyl pressing factory, located in Markham. The prices are VERY fair. If u call, ask for Chad- tell him Nathalie sent ya.

Dose anny one know of a press anny were near pittsburgh PA??
Dunno about that, but MAJOR labels from all over the world get stuff pressed at Acme. You'll be very pleased with their prices, and remember, it's in Canadian funds. Unfortunately, the US $ isn't at it's strongest point right now, but it's still a good price.
I remember being in Miami w/ Chad and Nat, and Chad showing price points to people like Shane 54, Joy Kitikonti among other and they just say, are those Canadian Dollars -> Yes -> Holy crap thats a good price.
Many interested Americans then. I cant imagine that the extra 0.08 to the dollar makes that much difference in the grand scheme of things. I think prices were still better than most american presses.
PS Nat, Get lauren in touch w/ me. I think she and I need to get our Jungle on when I move there(3.5 months) 
you're looking at about $60 to press an acetate. acetate won't last long like vinyl does though... you're probably looking at about 50 plays before is starts to sound like shit.
as for Vinyl not too many places will press fewer that 500 records... in fact many have a 1000 minimum. that will fun you about 3-4 per record.... maybe a bit less depending on where you go and what kind of relationship you develope with them.

| Originally posted by j_spot I have in my hand acmes price list, and you are WAY off. WAY! you can get the prices yourself, but LIST for runs UNDER 500 is well.... lets just say I cant believe that I pay $16-20 a record. CANNOT BELIEVE IT! where does the money all go?????? ps for a run of 45(records) you could pay less that $2 CDN for each. + tax + shipping(why not drive to markham to get em?) its fuckin cheap yo |
Sure the price per vinyl for a run of 500 is really small, but you still have to pay them to setup the run which is a few hundred bucks. Add on to that the cost of mastering, labels, shipping and covers and the money that the record label takes and you can easily find the price that record stores pay.
$15 is reasonable considering all parties involved need to make a profit.

Call them for a quote, they're like 10minutes from my house heh
Correct- u still need to make those master plates (see Scratch Free Press), which cost a bit. But I'm sure it's still cheaper than doing it in the US.
This is also a great vinyl manufacturing plant in toronto:
MMS Direct
I am pretty sure they have better prices than ACME.
