Note that the longer your vinyl program is (i.e. the more minutes per side) the lower the volume your record will be. This is due to the fact that in order to fit more music on the record, the grooves need to be closer together and shallower resulting in a lower volume.

  • Recommended maximum program lengths:
    • 12″ 33 1/3 RPM — 22 minutes per side
    • 12″ 45 RPM — 15 minutes per side

To achieve quality vinyl production we recommend using a mastering house with significant vinyl mastering experience to prepare your supplied masters.

Test Pressings

Test pressings are only used to catch any possible defects during the plating process. You should listen for things like skips, pops, locked grooves that cause repeats or excessive distortion.

Please listen to your test pressings on a quality turntable. Quiet pops and clicks are normal. Loud ones are not.

Vinyl is meant to be dynamic – not “loud”. You should not expect your vinyl test pressings to be as loud as your digital files or CDs.
