What audio files do you need for vinyl?

WAV files, 44.1 kHz and 24 bit at the minimum, named to match your tracklist.

Send one file per track, named so the running order is unambiguous. A single WAV for side A and a single WAV for side B is accepted as well. If you send side files, they have to come with a VTM file. A mastering engineer asked for a vinyl master will normally supply one.

If we are mastering for you, keep the peaks on your mix bus between -10 and -4 dBFS and never above -3 dBFS. That leaves the mastering engineer room to work. We offer stem mastering as well as a full mixdown if the mix is not finished.

The specs sheet with your quote carries the rest, and your project contact will confirm anything it does not cover. Mastering · Ask for a quote
