This record machine by Souri Automaten can cut and play records at the exact same time. Talk about efficient.

For those who want to dish out the $4,000 price tag for the product, any song from a music player can be transferred onto vinyl. To do this, "you just connect the [record lathe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/korg) to a music player of your choice, and once you hit play, a diamond stylus will cut the record in real-time based on the sound vibrations produced from the playing music," according to PSFK. While some people are moving most songs and files to digital format, others still crave the [nostalgic sound](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victrola-century-6in1-record-player) of a [vinyl record machine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victrola-soundstage) playing in the background. With this device, listening to music this way becomes that much easier.
