Was that a note to yourself? Surely that's not addressed to Pat? He's entirely correct - a microphone can't drive a cutting head directly, or add a RIAA curve. I suggest you research a little more yourself before getting all cocky. You might find this link helpful: http://www.audioinvest.no/tt_vinyl/suprdisc/nautilus.htm "Analog signals from the artists are passed directly through the recording console to a modified cutting lathe which etches in real-time the master lacquer." All that is eliminated is the tape. You can apologise anytime you like.
