But I have been researching for months about cutting and...What your notes are saying is this...Pretty much a warning page! Dont cut bass frequencies in stereo, or beyond the other parameters listed, because the movement of the cutter head will be too extreme up and down as well as side to side. Side to side mono bass is good, and will include up and down movement. Extreme up and down movement will cause the cutter head styli to actually come out of the vinyl and disrupt the groove. Which is what the lines under your microscope in the notes is representing, the middle line is dots not connected and the outer lines are congruant lines (grooves). The middle dotted line represents what would happen if cut in stereo. Too much up and down and the styli jumps out of groove and no usable groove! If you look at it again you will understand! Your notes are good and complete you just need to put it all back togther! Yo kid, so I was looking at your notebook, and I havent taken the class yet!

I convinced him to send a good friend of his, who has been using his machine for like 8 years now, over to teach me how to use it and set it all up! The guy is staying for a week, he is from germany and is the same age as me! I am an avid turntablist and friend to alot of dj,s artists and producers! I live in Oakland CA. and broker like 7 painters work, they do all of their paintings live at shows and parties! Souri told me you had gotten one, and then the next day I realized I had missed your show in SF at yoshis just like last month! Would loved to had been able to have a chance to chat with you about it! I really feel called to learn this skill! I dont produce beats, but I love to dj on my tecnics at home in my party gallery, I ve never dj out side of my place but have had up to like 30 people in there! I just love to mix and beat match, some minor scratching. I mainly got the vinylrecorder to serve my producer/dj community and to satisfy my inner desire to learn to cut! I hope to be able to master and cut exclusively for like 3-5 djs so they can rock the clubs with their own material on durable long lasting plates. Without having to send away to get it done or having to go through a full pressing process!Keeping vinyl alive! I cant stand laptop, cdj, serato, tractor djs and the sound! Call me oldschool! Hope it works out for both of us! Would love to exchange knowledge or learning tips! PS. I had to wait to get my lathe an extra like 4 months (on top of other waits) for you to get yours!

It has just dawned on me that I also must be a nerd. When did that happen? My first reaction reading this, was “cool” until I read the nerd part. It has just dawned on me that I also must be a nerd.
