Ha! Oh, BTW, apparently Teenage Engineering is making an at-home record lathe and it was announced after this thread started…or maybe it was a dream I had. It’s been a crazy week.

I think it was announced before this thread but it does look interesting! It can only record super short stuff, but it's neat! I will not buy one because I don't really go to shows anymore, but it seemed like a cool thing for recording live music to a one-off record or something like that.

It just seems like a giant waste of plastic to me, kinda like 3D printing.

If the discs are acetate like the other ones we were talking about, that's not plastic, it's plant based. However, they can also only be played back a few times before they're unlistenable.

There are plant based plastics. There’re still plastic. Petroleum isn’t a plant…but it was once.
And yeah, acetates vary in quantity but the most well made durable one will be about as good as a Soundsheet. Louder but way more fragile.
With home vinyl cutting though I’d think sound quality would be something you’d never be able to do well with. A good 80s tape deck or any modern standalone digital recorder with a brand name will do an amazing job and not produce a massive pile of “bad burns”.

Apparently this is actually an older thing from Gakken that TE is either re-releasing or copying. I agree with you that it's a waste of plastic, but you also don't want to know what I think about actual vinyl records.

I don’t want to hear what anyone thinks about vinyl records. Way too many people have way too many extremely strong opinions on records these days.

I almost bought a Jamiroquai record the other day but it was $40! Woulda been a stupid purchase tho, my ex-roommate stole my sl-1200 years ago and I haven’t replaced it.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, my opinions aren't strong at all.
