There are physical constraints when cutting records, so your vinyl may not sound 1 for 1 like the digital file(s) you provided. Other factors, such as your stylus or turntable, can also affect the sound quality. The sound quality is very close to what you’d expect from a pressed vinyl record, and can sometimes come louder or quieter depending on the source of audio. Here are some key considerations when preparing your track for cutting: De-ess High Frequencies: To minimize distortion from the cutter head. Stereo Image: Keep the stereo image (Sides) lower than the mono signal, as the cutting needle cannot be in two places simultaneously. Low Frequencies: Ensure frequencies below 150Hz are in mono to keep your low end central While our engineer will do their best to ensure your track(s) translate to vinyl with the highest quality, some limitations are inherent due to the laws of physics.
