lelijaa Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Hi, I'm a completely vinyl beginner and I'm trying to find on the web some answers to my question but I can't find anything that helps me to understand it completely.. So, can anyone please explain me what does "33 1/3 rpm" actuallly mean? If I'm told to give audio materials for cutting in "33 1/3" (I'm recording in Ableton) does that mean the audio should be in 133 bpm or something else? Please help me to understand this better. I appreciate any help! Tnx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexH. Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 All 33 1/3 rpm records only contain music that is exactly 133 bpm. That is why you can play any two records at the same time and they will always be in sync, as long as the turntables are properly calibrated. daegor, ghjghj, Hairy Potter and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate any help! Tnx! You're kidding right? I'm baffled that you are at the stage of having a recording pressed but think the person pressing the record is expecting you to speed up or slow down all the songs to 133 BPM. Anyway.

I appreciate any help! Tnx! Take a look at what 74R posted. But to clarify further, you can make whatever music you want. Slow, Fast, 5BPM or 500BPM. Doesn't matter. Then you just need to take your music to someone to get mastered and create the reference acetates. Then you end up getting those shipped to a vinyl pressing plant. Bad Timing records has a run down of everyone they use with their releases, so I guess go read that in the right column (Contact Us) here: http://www.badtimingrecords.com/about/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) It's actually 33 13 and the original vinyl reference code (RPM meaning reference period marker). Crazy superstitious nutters in the 1400s didn't want the 13 so they separated the numbers.

somethingvinyl Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I think at least 2/3 of these types of posts are existing users just trying keep things interesting. Only 33 1/3 are actually serious. hammertime, mertzrock, Hairy Potter and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
