Book vinyl mastering online – warm, dynamic, and ready for pressing

With vinyl mastering, your track is prepared specifically for record production. In contrast to standard mastering for streaming, CD, and digital platforms such as Spotify, vinyl mastering takes the physical limitations of records into account.
This includes reducing excessive sibilance, summing low frequencies to mono, and adjusting dynamics so your record plays back reliably without errors.
By the way, if you’re unsure about your mix, we’re happy to support you with a mix analysis.

Vinyl is a physical medium with completely different requirements than digital formats.
Without a specially adapted master, issues such as needle jumps, distortion, or insufficient playback level can occur.
With our vinyl mastering, you ensure that your record is technically flawless and delivers a high-quality sound.
If you don’t have a finished mix yet, you can also use our mixing services. We’ll support you from the mix all the way to the final vinyl master.

Yes. On request, we can create a digital vinyl simulation that closely represents the final sound on record.
This simulation is created using the same software many pressing plants use to prepare the cutting process.
This allows you to listen before pressing and make sure everything sounds exactly the way you want it to.
By the way, you can also start with an affordable test mastering to experience our service in advance.

Our vinyl mastering starts from 65 € per track.
Optionally, you can add analog enhancement for additional warmth and depth, or book a digital vinyl simulation to preview the pressing result.
For particularly complex projects, we also offer stem mastering, allowing us to process individual instrument groups such as vocals, drums, or guitars in more detail.

Yes, we’re happy to advise you on the different manufacturing processes:

• Lacquer cut, the traditional cutting method used for many vinyl pressings,

• and DMM (Direct Metal Mastering), which offers greater durability of the metal master.
  We also support you with planning the side length, choosing the vinyl size (7″, 10″, 12″), selecting the playback speed (33 or 45 rpm), and defining the ideal track order, including pauses.

We deliver your finished vinyl master in the format required by the pressing plant, typically as WAV files at 24-bit / 96 kHz, or according to the specific technical specifications of your pressing service provider.
DDP images or special cutting files are also available on request – just get in touch with us.

You’ll usually receive your finished vinyl master within 3 to 5 business days after payment is received.
For urgent projects, we also offer express processing within 24 hours.
You can easily start the entire process online using our upload form.

Vinyl sounds warmer and more natural to many listeners because analog playback produces harmonic distortion and a different dynamic range. However, the quality of the mix, mastering, and pressing is crucial, not the medium alone.

Vinyl refers to the material from which records are made. LP stands for "Long Play" and describes a specific record format with a rotation speed of 33⅓ revolutions per minute.

In the music industry, the main distinction is between 12-inch LPs and 7-inch singles. Technically relevant differences also exist between conventional vinyl cutting and direct metal cutting.

The sound of LPs is often perceived as more pleasant, but it is not objectively better. It depends heavily on the vinyl mastering, the cutting process, and the pressing quality.

Yes, vinyl mastering is worthwhile because records have technical limitations. A specially adapted master prevents distortion, ensures clean highs, and stable groove alignment.

Yes, a separate master should be created for vinyl. Digital masters are usually too loud and not ideally suited for vinyl cutting.
