Not really; unless otherwise specified, cutting a dubplate usually involves the bare minimum of processing in order to make sure it can physically be cut to acetate (eg making the bass mono, taming some peaks, etc). Plenty of rubbish gets cut to acetate; just because it's on a physical medium doesn't mean there has to be any quality control.michaellpenman wrote:totally, listen to the differences and take notes.patrick bateman wrote:That's why it would be a good idea to compare, no?tsankip wrote:No point in comparing the two waves imho.

Just wondering if you have added some hiss / noise to the track yourself or is that just the dubplate?
surely if you dont like it you can get your money back, if you went to macdonalds and ordered a burger and got a shoe you would want your money back.
Maybe the mix was not good enough for a dub plate but the engineer should know this and have told you and advised some changes to help get the result
OP: the waveform of your mp3 is quite heavily clipped. Was it like that when you sent it off? And is it actually like that on the vinyl or were you clipping the phono preamps?
