Yo! so I realize I ain't never gonna fork out that cash for LEGO feet on Skam (just took a look at PUCKERD1's auction) I have the Skampler and was thinking of getting it cut like all the junglists do in LA. I'd like to throw that track 10 on Skampler in my 'lektro set, it's a short groover:) anyway, to my point. HOW LONG TO Plates last? How many chances can I spin a plate before it starts to suck in quality? motherfucking limited SKAM 12"es from yesteryear. Why oh Why wasn't I paying attention? I HATE CDS!!!!!!!!!!! damn, gilly

I heard something like you can use a dubplate 50 to 80 times. Bye Sebastian -- Sebastian Herrfurth (seher@cs.tu-berlin.de) pages for Bernd Friedmann / Riz Maslen / Daniel Meier / DJ Krush / ... at http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~seher/music.html

I think 50 times is about right. While searching for some of the same info, I came across Aaardvark Mastering: http://www.aardvark-mastering.com/ In addition to having info on vinyl mastering services (out of his home!), this site contains a ton of information about the record manufacturing process. Also I notice that nobody who presses these records call them dubplates. They are referred to as acetates or reference lacquers. Its really cool site if you dig vinyl.

because a laquer and a dubplate is the same thing. Only difference is that the laquers used for dubplates are normally 10"s Thaddi
