cut corners

V. To take a shortcut. From the practice of utilizing the properties Pythagorean Theorem and going diagonally when turning at a corner instead of going all the way to the end and turning 90 degrees. This process is faster, since less distance is being covered.

Lathe cut

Lathe Cut is a dubplate where the sound is cut directly into a blank vinyl disc instead of acetate. Lathe cuts are as durable as pressed vinyl records. Lathe cuts can be played thousands of times vs a dubplate which get around 50 plays before the groove is ruined. The sound quality depends on the type of equipment used and skill level of the engineer. Lathe Cuts are considered to be the Polaroid of vinyl because they are instant vinyl records. Lathe cuts are favored by turntablists.
