Yes. Master lacquers are shipped via FedEx Overnight to your pressing plant in a purpose-built container designed for safe transport. A flat $50 shipping fee applies.

Please provide the highest-quality versions of your final stereo mixes.

Preferred formats:

• WAV or AIFF

• 24-bit resolution

• Any sample rate up to 192 kHz

Audio CDs are acceptable if necessary.
MP3 files are not accepted.

No.

CD mastering optimizes audio for the 44.1 kHz / 16-bit Red Book standard.

For MFIT (Mastered for iTunes / Apple Digital Masters), we deliver full 24-bit masters to your distributor or aggregator. Files are carefully prepared to pass Apple’s encoding requirements with no clipping or codec overs.

Master lacquers are typically cut within 3–5 business days.

For vinyl production, you must first approve a test pressing before full manufacturing begins. Current pressing plant turnaround times average 60–90 days.

We appreciate your patience. Quality takes time.

At this time, in-person sessions are not available.

There is no fixed answer. It depends entirely on the program material.

Longer sides require lower overall cutting levels. Bass-heavy mixes and wide stereo information consume more groove space, which can further limit side length.

We’re happy to advise on optimal running times based on your specific project.
