BECOME A PROFESSIONAL RECORD CUTTER

Whether you’re already an experienced record cutter or about to cut your very first vinyl — we have the perfect training program for you.
Vinyl cutting is a fascinating craft that can be learned quite easily with some practice. Achieving great sound results is possible within a short time. To truly master the art, however, you’ll need interest, experience, talent, and time.
Our FP9 record-cutting lathe has been designed to meet the needs of both beginners and professionals. Many complex processes are automated, allowing you to fully focus on the cutting itself. For experienced users, this also eliminates many repetitive tasks — without limiting creative control.
With the FP9, countless fine adjustments are possible, giving you virtually unlimited artistic freedom.

OUR TRAINING PROGRAM:
STEP BY STEP TO THE PERFECT CUT

To help you understand the fundamentals and avoid common beginner mistakes, we offer a comprehensive four-phase training program.
This training is included in the purchase price of the FP9 base unit and tailored to your level of experience.

PHASE 1: THEORETICAL BASICS

After placing your order, you’ll immediately receive a comprehensive digital information package (available in English or German).

It covers everything about the vinyl-cutting process:

• Structure and functionality

• Materials and signal paths

• Tips & tricks for achieving the best sound results

Please read through the materials carefully and prepare a list of questions — these will be discussed during the training.

PHASE 2: DEVICE INTRODUCTION

You’ll also receive the user manual of your FP9 device (in English or German). Again, we recommend noting down any unclear points so they can be addressed during the training session.

PHASE 3: PRACTICAL TRAINING (3 DAYS)

Once your device is ready, you’ll be invited to a handover training session, which takes place over three consecutive days:

Day 1: Fundamentals of Vinyl Cutting

• Detailed theory session & discussion of your questions

• Signal flow from DAW to cutting stylus

• Analog signal paths, mastering basics, filters, EQs, and materials

Day 2: FP9 Functions and Accessories

• In-depth explanation of the device

• Operation, calibration, and setup

• Replacing the cutting stylus and cutter head

• Mechanical and analog adjustments

Day 3: Practical Cutting

• You’ll cut your first records on the FP9

• Reinforce your workflow and clarify open questions

• Introduction to basic maintenance and servicing

PHASE 4: FOLLOW-UP TRAINING & SUPPORT

Once your device is set up at home, new questions may arise. Things that seemed clear during the training can feel uncertain when working alone.

That’s why we offer online follow-up sessions via video, where we answer your questions and ensure that you get started smoothly and confidently.

CONCLUSION

With our FP9 record-cutting lathe and the accompanying training program, you’ll learn the art of vinyl cutting from the ground up — practical, individualized, and professional.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, we’ll guide you all the way to your perfect sound.
