Introduction to TDR SimuLathe REF

Take a first person walk into the fascinating world of vinyl record production, its technology, and the mysterious art of turning music into physical grooves. SimuLathe “Reference” Edition is a complete simulation of the disk mastering process. With its specialized preprocessors, a precise virtual disk cutting lathe, several turntable pickup models and extensive means of metering/analysis, this audio plugin offers hands on insight into disk cutting.

TDR SimuLathe REF operates as a VST, VST3, AU or AAX audio plugin, both on Mac and Windows.

Brilliant! Great video of an interesting tool. Speaking of influencers, I'd love to see and hear Dan Worrall have a mess about with this just for fun. Also, I really appreciate TDR's approach to demos and having free and "GE" versions of their plugins. Bravo!

[ClintMoody]

This is a HUGE release. Thank you so much for the consideration of the future generations. Much respect!

I just heard about this and I'm a little confused by it. I've been pressing records for decades so it's a really exciting tool for my interests, but is it a learning/academic tool or...? I'm no mastering engineer, and even less a vinyl cutting/mastering guy, but I am a huge nerd and electronics hobbyist. I don't understand how this could provide super accurate previews of vinyl cuts without an extensive materials section that gets deep into the chemistry of the materials. I see how it could still provide forewarning for groove width and depth, helpful statistics etc, but when it comes to previewing the actual sound of the record....there's just a lot of analog materials / physics elements there to take into account, layers upon layers of complexity. Perhaps I am just letting the perfect be the enemy of the great? Phenomenal concept and execution regardless, and the free version is a deeply appreciated gesture, thanks so much TDR!

Just yesterday was looking if they had an introduction video for this lol

[huberttorzewski]

This is the first TDR plugin I don't see myself using for mixing.. But it's cool though.

[redbigapplefloppa]

Unfortunately not applicable in my production, but still very impressive. Tdr has it's good image for a reason

[izzywalker]

As someone who just wants to simulate the sound of vinyl and not do cuttings how useful might the be and is there an advantage in my use-scenario to get the larger version?

TDL to the rescue again 💪😅👍 just when we needed to cross check friends spinning disc release, trying to explain verbally just created more confusion & this provides all the information to calm the emotions ✅
and never, ever have i smiled at a developers insistence upon providing people’s desire to learn via the best pay for what you truly need piggy bank protection demo model…wonderful & thank you everyone on TDL Team ❤️
