sextacy911 Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 what the hell has the world come to?There have been many efforts by other manufacturers to capture the attention of the world’s DJ’s with new formats and fancy gimmicks, but the truth still remains: Vinyl is the only real format for mixing DJ’s With this in mind our best technicians have been working all the hours available in order to produce a machine with the specification that meets the demands of professional DJ’s and recording studios. The VRX-2000 is that machine. DJ’s can record their own music to vinyl. The process of getting new music onto vinyl for DJ use has now been made easier.Various sounds and loops can be compiled to vinyl for DJ’s to use in their sets. This will reduce the amount of records needed in DJ battle situations. It will also allow DJ’s to have their own personalized mixing tools made up of specific sounds unique to the user.The newest music on MP3, tape or CD can now be utilized for DJ performance.Our new specially developed vinyl has been designed especially to withstand heavy DJ use, including scratching,making this new format much better than standard acetates or Dub-plates for DJ’s. VESTAX VRX-2000: Vinyl Recorder The VRX 2000 is a real time acetate cutting machine, allowing any audio source to be duplicated on to vinyl. Acetates allow DJ's to play exclusive tracks that are not available in commercial quantities, or to record original music from a mastered format on to one off records. Scratch DJ's can record breaks and loops from other sources and prepare their set on to one record. In DJ "battles",this will enable quicker performance as the record will no longer need to be changed. Any audio source such as CD, MP3,tape or mini disc can be easily duplicated. The most stunning feature of the VRX 2000 is the durability of the records. Unlike traditional acetates that have a very limited lifespan, the "blanks" used with the machine will last 90% of the time as standard vinyl. This is due to the fact that the VRX 2000 utilises a new plastic for the blanks called "Harmodisk",which offers excellent reproduction quality and durability previously unheard of. Blanks will be available through Vestax VRX 2000 dealers, for around the price of an import 12" single.Whereas in the past, the cost of cutting records in small quantities has been quite expensive, the Vestax VRX 2000 will offer a considerable reduction in price, as well as allowing a larger amount of performers to cut one off records. Stores aroundthe world will offer the service of vinyl reproduction for the cost of the blank with a "cutting charge", making it more accessible for artists everywhere.Needless to say, this new invention is causing a huge stir in the dance music industry and will revolutionize the way DJ's perform, however the VRX 2000 may also be the catalyst in seeing vinyl re-emerging as a preferred medium for many recording artists.

djmikedr Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Realistically its $5000.Blanks will be about $10 each.Doubt they will come down much as to avoid piratcy (sp?).Great "idea" theorectically. Practicality not really.If one could sell "burns" for lets say $30 each, one would have to make 250 copies to pay off machine and that does not include the needle replacements (and how much are those???)
