A_Title_24Bit_96Khz.wav
B_Title_24Bit_96khz.wav
✓ ALL files should be the same SAMPLE RATE and BIT DEPTH (ex: 44.1khz_24bit)
✓ Sides with multiple songs must be SPACED (ex: 3 second gap)
✓ Sides should be LABELLED
✓ Leave headroom -3 to -1db (prevents clipping and inter-sample peaks)
Source audio files should be provided as a single WAV or AIFF format file for each side, with track spacing as it is intended to appear on the record and with an accompanying PQ sheet, indicating track IDs.
24 bit 96kHz WAV or AIFF file format is the vinyl pre-master standard.
Other file resolutions are acceptable, down to CD quality audio, 16 bit 44.1kHz.
File resolution should be the highest available, but should NOT be converted up to a higher resolution.
MP3 AUDIO IS NOT A SUTIABLE SOURCE!
ALL PREMASTERING IS INCLUDED FOR FREE.
Songs with over compression, hard limiting issues could be subject to mono, loss of high frequency content, and overall loudness.
Turn off all master bus processing except for essential sonic impact; remove processing used solely for loudness (no dither).
VINYL MASTERING
PQ - OPTIONS:
FLAT CUT:
My Mastering Engineer has provided a vinyl specific EQ. Please do a ‘flat cut’.
PRE- MASTER ADJUSTMENTS:
My Mastering Engineer has provided a finished premaster, but has left some adjustment to the cutting engineer’s discretion.
Please adjust the High Frequency and Low Frequency as follows:
High Frequency Options:
High Frequency Options (apply only if the record is under 12 minutes / side.
#1:
Please adjust the cutting level to preserve the HF content of the premaster
as closely as possible, even if that makes the record a bit quieter.
#2:
Please adjust the HF EQ as necessary to make the record as loud as possible.
Low Frequency Options:
#1
Please adjust the cutting level as necessary to preserve the bass and the stereo image of the premaster source, even if that makes the record a bit quieter.
#2
Please adjust the Bass, and the low-mid stereo image as necessary to make the record as loud as possible.
Recording Length/Time
Higher volume (louder sound) = less minutes.
Deeper bass (lower frequency of sound) = less minutes (wider grooves).
Hard limiting (no dynamic range) = low volume record & less high frequency content.
Album lengths are not an exact science, and times/loudness will vary depending on the tracks being cut.
(lots of bass = wider grooves)

Inner Groove Distortaion
SONG ORDER:
Inner diameter distortion refers to the degradation of sound quality as the stylus moves towards the center of a vinyl record during playback. This happens because the linear velocity decreases, affecting high-frequency detail and increasing surface noise. It's mitigated by mastering techniques and careful track sequencing.
