The vinyl mastering process

Vinyl mastering is an intricate process that requires precision. It starts with the creation of a digital master, which is then carefully adapted for vinyl pressing. Our engineers perform the vinyl cutting process by creating a lacquer disc, which serves as the foundation for your vinyl record. The groove is meticulously etched, taking into account important factors like stereo information, bass frequencies, and the reduction of surface noise.

The importance of a vinyl master

A separate vinyl master is crucial to achieving optimal sound quality. Unlike digital formats or CD masters, the vinyl medium demands a custom approach to preserve low frequency and stereo bass. Our vinyl mastering engineers use their expertise to avoid common issues like inner groove distortion, ensuring that your music plays back with clarity, depth, and dynamic range.
