Dubplates or Single Cut

The making of a Dubplate is relating to single cut of a record directly into a lacquere or vinyl blank disc. The blank disc lies on a rotating turntable while a saphir or an industrial diamant is cutting or engraving the audio information into the carrier material. This procedure is actual equivalent to the first step of vinyl pressing. The main difference is the base material. The cutting process happens in real time and all standard sizes – Singles 7″, 10″ oder LPs 12″ – are possible to produce. The maximum playtime of a Dubplate depends on the chosen rotation speed – 33 or 45 rpm – and, not least, on the kind of audio material and the desired output level. In the best case the running time of a single is around 3 minutes (45 rpm), for a 10″ between 6 and 9 minutes (45 rpm) and 9-12 minutes (33 rpm). The running time for a LP is about 10-12 minutes (at 45 rpm) respectivly 13-15 minutes at 33 rpm. Dubplates could be cutted on one side or both sides. Usually it is worth to make Dubplates in an edition up to 10 pcs. For a bigger amount a classical pressing is more effective and attractivly priced. In praxis Dj’s often let reproduce their favourite record as a dubplate not to wear and wear them in the clubs.
