Home made vinyl cutter / incisore fonografico fatto in casa.

[carterateababy]

This is absolutely amazing sir. The sound quality is near perfect. That is such an awesome creation, tool, everything. By any chance, are you making any to sell? The individual cd's, not the machine. I would be super interested in paying you to make some for me. Please message me if you are interested in doing this. Thank you.

[antichitaddo]

Penso che ascoltare queste "matrici" con quel tipo di puntina (del giradischi), sia un ottimo modo per giocarsela.

[pietrosammarco]

FINALLY SOMETHING CD'S ARE GOOD FOR!

great, thank you, very inspiring

[saiberpunx]

sei un genio, è quello che cercavo da tempo..... per caso hai un sito una pagina dove spieghi passo passo come costruirlo e i materiali da usare?

[66Gollum]

This is great!! But wich is your homepage?

[Vinvolve]

haha digital on one side vinyl on the other this is genius

[mnc000]

very nice!

[FBNCLL390]

can somebody teach me how to set up my own vinyl cuter.

THANKS.

[adiblol]

The quality is better than some heavily compressed MP3 or AAC files. ;D

[frugola92]

Anche io ho avuto sempre il sogno di avere un fonoincisore ma purtroppo non ho le tue conoscenze meccaniche ma solo elettroniche. Io abito in toscana se non fossi lontano vorrei vederlo da vicino 2 domande:

Hai provveduto a fare l'equalizzazione Riaa inversa? Migliorerebbe la durata e le alte frequenze secondo : sarebbe interessante misurare la risposta in frequenza , terzo con un livello medio quanti minuti può registrare?

[Pippomone]

If you find the right equalisation of bass and treble, you will obtain high quality audio records! ;)

[avoed1973]

on on side CD on the outher record

[KIRKCHUKALAS]

this is pretty cool man !

[ktuluworld]

Fantastico, complimenti!

[Arabhacks]

What you are doing wrong is playing the master.

A record is normally recorded as a soft and unplayable master that is easy to cut.

This is used to make a stamper.

Molten vinyl is poured into a mold and the stamper stamps out the record.

The vinyl cools, and yields the record(s).

The vinyl is far harder than the master but contains all of the information that the softer material was able to capture.

[FBNCLL390]

@Arabhacks hey arabhacks, i really would like for somebody teach me how to make my own vinyl record, and want to know how the stamper works.

[fghfghfghfgg]

What song 4:20?

[GBscottieUK]

What is the frequency range like?

[marcvie9]

you made a verticcal cut record jbut nice done

[Powolny]

Whats the name of the dog? :)

[alienhddna]

wonder any could make there own ced rca video player with some thing like this

[seanmhome]

What is the name of the last song played on the black CD? I really like it.

Great job!

[jackbouregard]

Ahaha sei un GRANDE!!! Hai proprio....Inciso un DISCO :D

[kvfive]

Very well done, always wanted to do this :)

[Blackdisco80]

Amazing !

[cosmicfrog1966]

It's a beautiful thing.

[ThePillenwerfer]

Fantastic!

[SrPicuinhas]

Fantástico! You must be a very obstinate man. Congratulations.

[bocatablanco]

HOW?!?!?!?! AMAZING!

[BergamoStreetArmy]

You're a great! Much respect from Bergamo!

[BrooklynNYC777]

this is fucking amazing

[Vitrax98]

Very good idea:) At home we have a lot of unnecessary boards that we use as the vinyl. I also have something to try. And before on this album is gonna be it paint the black to have a climate. I will choose a good speaker and record. PhotoStream only need to have good mounting plate. I try to record the beginning of their votes in such a disc and play. But it will be fun.

[conetoframe]

This is amazing!

[PSXDooMERR]

Stereo?

[armyofnumbers]

I Like CD Records=)

[Stavr071]

Heating tool was used?

[dilutinginertia]

CRAZY !!

[MonetRi]

Awesome job!! Great experience, well done :)

[powertoolification]

Like. What id the 3rd song played? On the black CD? Cuz I like it.

[worotan]

Great sound off them, but I think HMV have already thought of using a dog ;)

[genafk]

that, is absolutely awsome!

[TheEpicDjGAMER]

can you scratc hwit h it

[nerozeronotte1]

battiatooooooooooooooooooooooo­oo miticoooooooo

[VanHelsingPOL]

1:45 song name ?

[fuckutube21]

HAHA GREAT!!

[hopop313]

This is just incredable. You are a genius! You know what you could do. Make a CD/45. Get 1 short song , burn it on your computer, then cut the exact same song with your lathe on the unused section of the disc.That way you can have a record AND CD that could play in either player!

[phrenzy1]

I'm amazed there's such a perfect correspondence between the drive of the speakers and what's needed to impress the the cd, that's properly clever, you hould use this for your masers mech engineering thesis

[Ronariodj]

That's Brilliant, Why would anyone dislike this video,

Well done & thanks for sharing :)

[Vitrax98]

Could you give me the artist and song name in 3:40 seconds?

[DeeF96]

Ma quelli sono dei vinili o dei CD con lo specchio nero? Come fai ad incidere su un CD (se lo è), la puntina al posto del laser? Sembra magnifico!

[Python4s]

man , you are a hero !! hahaha , i MUST make one of these things

[nice924]

potresto cortesemente dirmi il nome dell ultima canzone , quella sul disco nero? Grazie in anticipo ;)

[tetails]

Does it hurt the cd.

[nikolajenko]

i want to cut my tracks on CD, give me your contacts and cost in private message please )

[Rugge992]

Ottimo lavoro, davvero interessante come progetto. Mi sono piaciuti gli altoparlanti usati per far muovere l'incisore.. Ma incidendo i dischi in questo modo, riesci a rispettare i canoni di velocità/durata (33, 45 0 78) oppure la velocità giusta la trovi "a orecchio" sul giradischi quando riproduci il disco?

[Luckhappens]

is it possible so cut real vinyls? at home?

[91gregor91]

Wow, the quality is incredible.

[noisyshaun]

Woof Woof indeed!

[DeeF96]

Dove si trovano quelli neri?

[nice924]

@DeeF96

[outofthegreenmist]

Very interesting indeed. Well done.

[hifijohn]

thats amazing i always wanted to build a record cutter and i always thought that cd would make the best blanks because of the sof plastic, but why would you use a cheap toy record player for playback????

[kwikasacat]

@hifijohn DUDE THATS NO TOY! its a vestax mobile vinyl hunting machine used world wide by djs hunting out vinyl in those secret shady record stores. cos its mobile like:)

[paranormalium88]

sounds a bit like polish sound postcard :)

[LHUPA]

C O N G R A T S U L A T I O N S man! I want to build one since years along too except with larger "lacquer" than CD's as medium! For the moment, I gather the better informations available as possible to build a near pro model! You're a genius!

[saturnottonoveuno]

Quanti minuti riesci a registrare su un cd in questo modo?

[digidsg]

could you send me a list of what you needed to make such a contraption? I must try this!

[Valet2]

The guy made a geek vinyl-cutter. But can't buy a proper camera to record his video!

[CharlyGanja]

Geniale

[enildem]

respect! You're just amazing... all can be done from zero!

[danpavan]

Música Brasileira?

[OCfunk4life]

man dats ef'n cool i wuz lookin 4 some way 2 copy vinyl 2 vinyl?but 1st thingz 1st

[Nickadeemuhs]

@OCfunk4life

weel a vinyl cutter is sumthin dat cuts vinyl so dat u can copy thins 2 vinyl

u cen pley stuf thru speekrs nd et copis et tu da vynil or cd

You should learn how to spell before you try to build a lathe.

[guitarslf132]

Ive just discoveted a way to get a 1 off, 12" single of actual viny (pvc) of any song of ur choise delivered to ur door for free!!!!

[MrWenners]

@guitarslf132 How?

[homePicShow1]

What was used to actually cut into the vinyl?

[mycurse67]

:o Custom Needles anyone? Cartridges made special for softer material?... ... ... so... whos gunna be the one to make it... i had the idea so... its only far if someone else does the work... :p

[gonchujam]

You have made such a great job! No noise at all! It's incredible. Congratulations! Could you do a CD-records with some music of Fabrizio de Andre? Greetings!

[AXIMIX1]

5 +

[oatstao]

Great work, sounds just great! :D

Thanks for sharing the ins of this.

I see a cool use for small bands sending out small run promos that

slowly degrade! Would make a killer collectors item due to the volitility.

[jonenat]

Very nice quality there. What kind of material did you use as your record? I have a whole bunch of damaged records. Would it be possible to resurface them and record on them again?

[albertusj]

Awesome

[duffspb]

помоги мне такую штуку дома сделать.

[bossybadd09]

make a scratch routine with that beast

[marlucan]

Hi. your researching about record cutter is good, but hear the sound very well would be better.

[djsattackbrazil]

como eu faço para obter ferramentas certas para fazer este gravador de discos, você pode me falar quais peças usou para montar a maquina?

[spycho93]

ciao, non mi intendo molto di vinile però questa cosa mi incuriosisce molto.. ma in un CD, usato come vinile, quanti minuti di registrazione ci stanno?

[snelpiller]

haha thats supercool man

[Thedemondgamer]

When you played the vinyl cds how did you make the middle part

[TheBeschikbaarheid]

no elvis???

[DJelectfire]

wow the second,third,and fourth disc sounds exelent!

Discos Compactos dos, tre y cuarto muy exelente!

(Please exuse my bad Spanish-

por favor- ecusaco me espanol terrible)

[DJDDT]

Amazing!

[ANDREWWALLFORD123]

This is amazing!!! I was first to watch that... How did you make that?

[fredontube]

This is so cool!

[ottavioleo]

Assolutamente fantastico!

Complimenti.

[bullyword]

what is name of the that song start 4:21

[YaVezdehod]

Аффтар жжот! Зачотный аппарат! тоже такой хочу! Винил делать из болванок! Кул!

[mbarry6]

Ive done similar stuff and have a tutorial on how to make an engraver. but yours has waaaay better quality! good job!

[mbarry6]

@mbarry6 actually, I take that back. from what I just achieved today, yours only sounds a little better. I still have a ways to go as far as fitting a lot on one cd tho. yours is truly amazing. mines still smaller ;D lolz who knows maybe someday ill be your competition! make the engraver smaller, remove cracks, balance the treble, bass, and mid tones and you'll have it up to standards with production quality records. better get to it before I do ;D

[OldMusicOnVinyl1]

Nice.

[hohnemaxxx]

its brazilian music! good music taste! and sooo goood job! i love vinyl records!

[Bramsky]

what needle dit you use?

[txtransam]

This is the same rig they use at Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs, right?

[Bramsky]

What kind of needle dit you use ? im going to do the same ( at least try ;-) )

[Bramsky]

What kind of needle dit you use ? im going to do the same ( at least try ;-) )

[Bramsky]

What kind of needle dit you use ? im going to do the same ( at least try ;-) )

[Bramsky]

What kind of needle dit you use ? im going to do the same ( at leas try ;-) )

[DiamondScythe]

My god, you could make home-made bootleggs of entire albums if you had a laser disc!

[djfreakhands]

How the hell did you do that???????

[3yE]

wow. putting CDs on a turtable and having them play is just SO whack!

[DJBOYARDEE]

whered u get that slipmat from??

[geboy5]

you can record on vinyl?

[louiscoxx]

oh my god at first i was thinking of making this but FUCK THAT!!! lol

[djfmitv]

Absolutely fantastic work and research! My uncle used to say this sort of recording process was not ever possible. Very well done indeed :)

Just out of interest, how did you construct the worm gearing to allow enough space in between the grooves on the record and how was this synchronised to the turntable speed?

Would love to experiment in making something like this myself :)

[Seringson]

@djfmitv Thanks! The arm and the platter are independent. The arm is driven by a cc motor and I can set the speed with a potentiometer. For groove spacing: I started with an high speed of the arm and then I decreased the speed... you can see when grooves begin to "go into collision" watching them changing appearance and also because when the new groove is too close to the previous one you sometimes can hear something like an hissing sound (the sound of plastic being cut twice!).

[djfmitv]

@Seringson - That's a good method, thanks Seringson :) BTW, since it was mentioned by some of your subscribers about the last song - I really like the tune. Would it be possible to send an MP3 link of your song? Cheers and keep up the good work :)

[JAJAJAX]

this is incredible!

I think the plastic ruins the needle faster than you play an original vinyl. or not?

[Seringson]

@JAJAJAX Yes, that's sure! I would never use my new Audiotechnica on a cut CD! The plastic makes an higher friction against the needle and the groove shape is "not ok" for standard needles.

[geboy5]

@Seringson sounds so good...shit :(

[mayatatyana1]

I admire his inventiveness. Bravo!

[xvmon1]

DOPE!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheManAnswer]

i thought this was weird and cool does the records all now have cd tracks lol thought it was neat how the cds sound like they have record grooves haven't seen anything like that

[miamiwax]

what do u use as a spindle adapter??

[PyroFreaksDe]

thanks

[FraPerin]

Ma la qualità del suono proveniente dal CD inciso, com'è?

[Seringson]

Non è paragonabile ad un suono "hi-fi", potrei paragonarla al suono della radio AM, con più rumore di fondo ed un taglio piuttosto evidente delle alte frequenze.

[kgeorgejunior]

very clever!!!

[PyroFreaksDe]

Name of the last Trak ?

[Seringson]

The name is "E' stata qui".

[agfamatic91]

i might try that some day after all i have all things thats needed, a good workshop, a local tool shop, a good knowledge aboute records and a perfect record player for this a realy old hmw record player from the 50s that can play 33s 45s 78s and even 16s and it have a pizo cartridge with both a 78 stylus and a lp one and it have a high tracing force.

[transformingArt]

What is the first song you showed here? The one with a female voice.

[djtechno95]

Erm, if a record is played about 2000 times, it will have scratches and without several skips, it will be unplayable. If a CD/vinyl-record combination is played on a turntable, like, 500 times, the same will happen. Am I right?

[Seringson]

Well, a lot of words have been spent about vinyl life... I suppose you can get more than 2000 if records are well treated (=good handling, good needle,at least 1 hr between two playings of the same track...). The CD I make last only a few times, because the groove is very light and the material is "softer" than real vinyl.

[TyBong]

Awesome! Wait a minute, is part of the arm waveguide? Lol that looks like you might have a bit of VSWR there..... Good job though! very inspiring! I will have to construct something like that. Question though, how are you stabilizing the arm to move the arm? Wire on a motor/gear spindle?

[Seringson]

Yes,it's a waveguide, you catch it! :D I'm using a long rotating screw, check my other videos: it's more clear than in this one!

[GrandmasterBambaataa]

it would be great to see the cutter working... it would help to understand how it's done... anyways, molte grazie...

[KeithThePunk]

What band and song was on the last silver one?

[Seringson]

Franco Battiato with Antonella Ruggiero, "Strani giorni".

[KeithThePunk]

Hey man, your brilliant! I have questions:

1.Witch side of the CD did you use?

2.What kind of needle did you use?

3.How do you trasfer sound to the needle to make it record?

4.How do you make the recording arm?

5.How big is the thing in the middle?

[dumapies]

lol...hardly audiophile stuff(just kidding)...i gotta give you credit thats amazing

[awfulguitarplucker]

cavolo! il suono che esce dai "cd vinilizzati" + spettacolare! molto caldo e definito!

[kimtech234]

Hi! first, i have to repeat: verry good work!

Today, i tried to build my one cutterhead, but got quite poor results. There was mutch to mutch backround noise and nearly no music. So what kind of needle did you use? Mine was 0,9 x 40mm(B Braun). That seamed to thick. Did you heat your needle? Did you pree prepare the needles point in it's shape? What about equilising the input signal?

Thank you for youre inspiring work! Regards, Kim

[Seringson]

Hi,as usual strange behaviour of YouTube,I replied a few days ago but my answer disappeared!Well:try with a syringe needle,slightly tilted,so that plastic matter is not really engraved but"deformed".The needle should push sideways the plastic to produce the groove.Noise could arise from irregular etching.I didn't prepare the needle.About equalization:try with bass to minimum and higher frq to the max then adjust them when you get the first good result with the groove shape. Un saluto!

[neirdac]

Hey well done man, amazing job. I'm actually going to try to build something like that (but really simplified lol) for a school project but I'm afraid that when I play the record on my turntable to see the results my needle might get damaged. Do you think I should buy a new cartridge or do you think it's safe?

[Seringson]

Well, I think it'd be better to use a cheap cartridge for making tests and playing cut CDs: the groove resulting from a "DIY" cutter is different from the one of a "real" record so the stylus may jump or wear out very quickly. My advice is to use a cheap "disco" cartridge whose tracking force is very high (>4 grams) and the lateral stiffness is very high. The heavy and stiff piezo pickup of the vestax turntable I show in the movie (or numark, it's the same) is ok for playing "home made records"!

[neirdac]

thank's a lot for the answer :)

I'm going to follow your advice and buy a cheap cartridge.

Keep up the good work, you rock!

[EendjeKwak]

Who made the song at 4:10?

[Seringson]

That's one of the songs I composed, the name is "è stata qui".

[zflores]

GREEEAT song that one! :o i'm impressed! could u send it to me? u would make me happy!

[Seringson]

Yes, of course! Pls let me know how can I send you an mp3. Now I'm travelling for work, I've got my laptop with me but I'm afraid that I don't have the audio files in the hard disk. I'll send it to you as soon as I go back home!

[Tysonaut]

great job man!!!!

[Seringson]

Hi, I don't know why but my replies to some of the comments appear here below and not close to the comment... Strange phenomena!

[jkjimmy]

wow!!!!!!!

[cutterschoicenotmine]

wow that is amazing, nice one!

[Seringson]

Thanks to all! Your comments are very kind. Pls note: I uploaded a new video that shows cutting head disassembling. I hope it could be better than explaining by text.

---

Grazie a tutti! Ho caricato un nuovo video in cui disassemblo la testina d'incisione. Spero sia abbastanza esplicativo (non avrei saputo far meglio con una descrizione testuale).

[bh1992]

Sounds Great dude perfect job

[olywarhol]

what kind of needle are you using as a cutter?

[Seringson]

A syringe needle, slightly "tilted" in comparison to groove direction.

[djRastal]

ciao! innanzitutto complimenti per la genialità della tua opera! io sono rimasto a bocca aperta te lo giuro! anche io vorrei costruirne uno e ho già un progetto in mente, ma avrei bisogno di chiederti qualche dettaglio. se sei disponibile ti lascio la mia mail. grazie!

[Seringson]

Grazie!! Lasciami pure la tua e-mail, ti risponderò con piacere scusandomi in anticipo per il ritardo... perchè il lavoro purtroppo mi lascia poco respiro e spesso non ho la possibilità di un collegamento internet neanche di sera!

[roxiereuben]

unmeasurable inteligence. I would be very gratefull if another video will be uploaded by you showin how the cutting head was made. But i guess it`s too much for you to explain. but if you can, well and good. Looking forward to know this things even better. Thank you so much.

[Seringson]

..what can i say? Thank you!!!

I uploaded another video, awaiting your comments!

[pehnen]

omg. you're a genius!

I never considered it was so simple to actually make your own vinyls. :D. i'm gonna try that out some time.

Without doubt the best DIY video i've seen on youtube!!

[hammondeggs49]

Hah, this is awesome!

[vgaboy]

this made my day

[xteoxhuj]

man that fuckin awesome i love your conept and number of attempts ! DIY OR DIE !!

[ildur]

How many "CDs" can you make before you have to change cutting head?

Could you make a line recording from the player so it's easier to hear the sound quality?

Wohoo I'm impressed !!!

[Seringson]

More or less 15. Yes, I will make a line recorder (the problem is that my camera isn't provided with audio in :( )
