hey

I might have the possibility of cutting vinyl records and was wondering if any of you would be interested ?

Now as you may all be aware, the equipment is rather expensive and add to that consumables, setup fees , shipping and before you know it , it gets a tad expensive but still here is my plan

15-20 for the vinyl cutting
5 dollar setup fee per side
5 to 10 for shipping

So let's say at the most 40 us$ for a two sided , two track vinyl.


That is cheap compared to industry standard cost for dubplates, and might I add.
The plan is to make them with Vestax vinyl cutter=superior cutting quality and resistance, so your vinyl will last literaly for year and the wear will far out perform dub plate acetate vinyls which wear out after 30 or so plays.

I would also consider cutting special prices for 5 or more orders of the same vinyl, and a minimal reorder fee were you willing to have recut the same vinyl in the future.

I would offer the service with extras such as :
mastering
logo design
shrink wrapping
and so on, at an extra fee, which in the case of a white label isn't all that necessary , hoping everything you'd wished for in the final product was taken care of higher in the line.

Supported media would be following :
zip
cd r
dat
minidisc

and here's one solution I might consider doing is setting up temporary ftp accounts for someone to upload his couple tracks , what do you think of that?

oh and please, refrain from asking me to cut from white labels or copyrighted music or at least keep it discrete


I am posting this in the dj forum and production forum as well seeing the interest is on both sides.

Feel free to give me any suggestions, ask any questions, and SHOW YOUR INTEREST!

I do not wish to do this hoping to make money in return

the startup investment , would I actually start this up , would be rather considerable.


I will be looking into CD duplication services as well ( which will be less needed I know )


Anyhow keep the comments, suggestions and feedback coming.

I think this is a really good idea. I would definitely be interested in your service when I have something that I think it's worthy. That's a pretty big when however

I think this should be made a sticky.

Damn strait. I'd be in for about 6 of my tracks, with several of each pressed.
P.S. Taub: That is a no-no. You'd have to be ultra discreet about full out bootlegs like that. (not that I havn't been tempted to that with some old skoole trax)
