X-iled from the other place. Pushes buttons and twist knobs to make music sound better. Spends a lot of time cutting vinyl masters and working to improve the process. Views are solely mine.
Agreed, and once he is elected, he will completely dismantle the BBC 🤦

The SRC was painfully slow initially but I learned pretty quickly that to burn a CD you could do it at x2 (then x4) if you had all the audio on one stereo stream. If you used multiple streams it slowed right down. This was mid to late’90’s using Version 2. Geoff Pesche still uses the jog wheel!

Great for the 1812 Overture and also Ravel’s Bolero. SADiE was good way back when, streets ahead of the then competition (Sonic Solutions, AMS Audiofile, The Tablet etc). Sadly it has now reached the end of the line, but in its day it was a formidable , reliable and stable workhorse.

… as there are several buttons that I mustn’t push in reverse mode as they send the lathe carriage in the wrong direction at lightning speed causing expensive damage (because all of the feedback going to the system is reversed). This is a part of testing new stuff and finding the unintended quirks.

Then added 5% to where it finished and made this my starting point for the inside out cut. This was my first ever commercially released inside out cut and Nick and the Saucers are apparently delighted with it. I will be happy to get the finished production boards installed… /3

My lathe tech worked out a way of adapting the VMS80 lathe for inside out cuts. I need to change the advance signal that feeds the groove spacing computer in a specific way then it functions correctly. To work out where on the disc to start, I ran the audio and the lathe in normal forward mode /2

Hello Mike, yes it’s my first inside out cut. Historically this wasn’t possible with Neumann lathes (only Scullys). I’m currently working with prototype modified parts, the final version is still under development. Only my lathe and one other in Berlin have been modified to date and we’re testing /1

I’m still working at the moment, got about another hour to go. I honestly cannot wait to see this.

Correct, that was one of mine.
