FAQ

My process involves the physical cutting of your audio onto each individual record in real-time. For this I utilise a professional disc cutting lathe and feedback cutting head fitted with a diamond stylus to produce superior records of high quality and durability.
Each record is cut individually into professional grade vinyl making each one a completely bespoke, limited edition. My vinyl sounds as good and will last as long than traditional pressed records (if not longer!).
Your records are then packaged in the sleeves of your choice, labels printed and shipped out to you!

My vinyl mastering service comes as standard and is already included in the price. However, prior to submitting your audio files, I recommend the following:
• Ensure the audio files are as high a quality as possible
• Format: WAV, AIFF, FLAC or ALAC. A high quality MP3 is also ok, although not ideal
• Specs: a minimum of 16 bit, 44.1 kHz or an MP3 with a bit rate of 192 Kbits upwards
• For the best quality record, it’s strongly recommended that you keep the running times of each side at or around the ideal as listed above
• Please ensure that you have fully de-essed all sibilant frequencies from vocals and mid-range instruments as they will cause distortions when cut to vinyl
• Please avoid the temptation to use a Maximizer, Compression or Brickwall Limiters on your final audio. Trust me, whilst it is standard procedure for digital streaming, it will produce poor results when cutting records. Here’s a short video explaining why.

I recommend using WeTransfer to submit your audio and artwork files to me

All records are shipped in top-grade mailer envelopes via Royal Mail, UPS or other international courier service.

My preferred method of payment is by direct bank transfer, although PayPal is also acceptable (though comes with additional fees).
Message me to let me know what records you want and we can take it from there.

I’m always happy to talk about the record cutting process, so if you have any other questions regarding Custom Cuts Mastering please don’t hesitate to message me☺.
