Turn A Cd Into Record.. U Mean A Dub Plate?. Like Average Price Like 25$ For Maybe Upto 4 Songs. I Knew A Guy In Brooklyn Who Did It But I Been Lost Touch With Him.. Quick Question? Why Turn A Cd Into Vinyl.. Man Da Dubplate Is Dead Thanks To The Cd Turntable. I Say If You I8n A Situation Where U Feel U May Need To Control Or Scratch Ur Cds Like Vinyl Then Invest In A Cd Turntable. Will Save You Money In The Long Run( Dub Plates Wear Out Quick).. If Your Talking Bout Getting Real Vinyl Pressed Up Multiple Copies Then Thats Pretty Expensive Nowadays. I Think Ive Seen Rates Like 500 Peices For Like 775$ ...check Disc Makers .
