Audio Specifications & Guidelines

You should provide your music in high-quality (lossless) audio file formats, such as .wav or aiff. 

Our engineer will prepare your audio files to ensure the cleanest and truest reproduction, however, it is preferable to provide us with a track that has already been pre-mastered for vinyl*

 

* 'Vinyl-pre-masters' have specific stereo treatment and EQ curves to accommodate the physical limitations of the vinyl. A properly vinyl mastered track will go a long way toward achieving the best result. Mastering engineers will provide vinyl pre-masters alongside making your digital streaming masters.
