No. Crosstalk Customs uses a lathe-cut process. Each record is cut individually in real time.
12 inch — up to approximately 18 minutes per side at 33 RPM.
Shorter sides generally sound better and cut louder.
Lathe cuts differ from factory pressings but can sound excellent when prepared properly.
We master for the format and cut in stereo. PETG handles low end well and playback is stable on standard turntables.
Records are cut onto clear 2mm PETG blanks.
PETG is durable, consistent for lathe cutting, and built for real playback.
Records are supplied in stamped kraft outer sleeves with protective inner sleeves.
Custom packaging options are available depending on project scope. Mention your ideas in the order form.
