High Quality, In House, All Analog Mastering
Mastering is the process by which your audio gets cut into grooves on a lacquer
disc that will ultimately become the metal master stamper that your record will
be made from. |

When supplying CD masters, your music should be supplied to us in Redbook Standard CD format. It should be playable on a standard CD player. There is a $30 charge for any format changes needed. There is no extra charge to cut your master from 1/4" analog tape. However, your tape should have test tones, and be sequenced and ready to play. Any additional sequencing done in house will be billed as studio time at $55/hr.
Dub Plates / One Off Records
We offer dub-plate cutting services. We use the same all
analog mastering setup to cut dub-plates (one off records). Pricing and suggested time per side are listed below.
