bfresh Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Homemade of course - because the wankers at Rane are taking far to long to produce these. Ok so here's some diagrams to help you out. First take lots of little bits of timecoded CV01/02 vinyl and some good house hold glue... or a pan with some watered down baked bean juice will do (preferably Heinz) Or Take a CV01/02 and follow the illustrations below... and there you have it a handy 7" inch control vinyl! Thanks to mrdee for helping!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul_Caruso Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 You could obviously do this to regular scratch wax for analogue cutting with a handytrax! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haych3 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 You could obviously do this to regular scratch wax for analogue cutting with a handytrax! cant do it with serato... thats what the whole thing was done for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_Caruso Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I don't get what you mean? I was just saying if you have a handytrax and a mixer you could cut down a normal battle record in this way to scratch if you don't have Serato...

MrDee Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 you certainly could use normal wax but you knowyour fave skrizzatch samples are gonna be on the bit you cut off these were done solely for a 2 x handytrax setupwith pitch on the handytrax you can mix or scratchwe're trying to get a totally battery operated serato setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suitstusir Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Hi All,I've just joined this forum and desperately need some 7" Serato control vinyl.I'm fully prepared to cut down some 12" Serato control vinyl as featured in this thread.All I really need to know is what the final cut was done with.Was it really the tin opener pictured?I realise this thread is nearly 8 years old now.....I'm really hoping BFresh can give me some hints, tips and guidance.

Steve Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Welcome to the forum man. Bfresh only pops in from time to time, but I'm friends with him on FB so I'll give him a nudge and see if he'll come and help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suitstusir Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Cheers Steve....I really appreciate that.I've just got hold of a pair of Vestax Handytrax and am desperate to get my Serato hooked up to them.I can't get over how good the cut down control vinyl look!!!I have my scissors at the ready but need to know if there is a special trick to that perfect finish.Speak soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfresh Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Hey suitstusir tbh mate I don't use the 7 inchers anymore. I bought some 10" Serato control vinyl as they are now available with the later timecode and are suited perfectly to the handytrax. Pros: more track time than a 7", no wobble when cutting (unlike a 12") and most importantly no claw hand from cutting them out! Cons: none really If you do decide to get your claw on and cut them with scissors just go at them slowly hence the many pieces of wax shown above. Hope this helps man.

suitstusir Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Wow!!! What a swift response!!!Cheers for getting back to me so swiftly.Sounds like 10" is the way to go then.....I may get my claw hand on at some point purely for novelty value.I must know though.....did you use the tin opener at all when you made yours?I've been practicing over the last couple of days on some old throwaway vinyl I've got and tried the tin opener technique with not much success. lolI was even going to ask you what brand of tin opener you used.

bfresh Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 The photos taken showed 4 different tools, 3 were decoys, one being the tin opener. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoesy Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 If you want to just buy some 7" Serato records, I have them available on my website http://www.seven-inches.uk or if you are in the states try openformat.la Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
