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!

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. Here's your answer: http://www.aardvarkmastering.com/cutspec.htm

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/
