Preparing your audio

In order to transfer your music to vinyl there are a some parameters that need to be met. These will help us to create the best sounding record we can together.

We offer mastering for vinyl if you'd like us to take care of it for you.

Ultimately it’s all up to you and how you want your music to sound but we will have to slightly re-master any audio submitted that doesn’t meet these specifications in order transfer it.

If all of the information below seems like gibberish to you, don’t worry.

Send us what you have and we can go from there.

We’ll always endeavor to do the best job for your music and keep it true to the original sound.

All bass instruments and bass drums need to be mixed dead center.

Avoid any significant boosting in the high end.

Sibilance on the vocals can also cause distortion, this can be tamed using a de-esser.

A dynamic compressor can help tame any overbearing frequencies.

We cut stereo but please refrain from using any stereo enhancers on your vinyl master. It will result in distortion.

Go easy on limiting and compression on the master mix if you use it.

Aim for peaks of a maximum -3dBfs at -14LUFS

Dynamics and a little headroom go a long way.

Ideally we'd like Uncompressed audio at 96khz/24bit. If not, be sure to use the highest quality you have without any sample rate converting.

Please note - By sending us your masters we're assuming that you own the copyright.

We cannot cut copyrighted music.
