our approach to your master

As a specialized lacquer cutting facility, communication is an essential part of what we do. While we do have standard procedures, refined over years of experience, we’re also able to treat each new record as unique, customizing our approach based on your input and our assessment of your audio.

We have customers that submit files prepared by a familiar and experienced ME and know that they want the purest all-analog signal path, with minimal adjustment – if that’s what you’re looking for, we have a very clean 4 channel signal path with just the custom filters needed to get from the converters to the amps and produce a great sounding clean vinyl transfer.

On the other end of the spectrum, we often receive masters that sound good, but need a little help and a more hands-on approach to fit within the confines of the vinyl medium. If needed, we can really dig in with state of the art digital tools and make adjustments with great detail and transparency, and turn your master into something that gets you a cleaner and louder record.

Wether you’re an artist, sending us a project that’s close to your heart and you want to be involved in all the decisions along the way, or you’re a label or higher volume operation, and you prefer a more streamlined service, relying on our expertise, experience and time-tested systems to make the right audio choices and integrate into your production workflow, we are always able to adapt.
