DAT or CD to Laquer Mastering

     
  Although we can provide as much extra service as you require, in order to avoid additional charges we require DATs/CDs to be ready for mastering.
  • all songs should be sequenced and on one tape
  • all songs should be properly timed with start IDs
  • all tapes should include a legend with exact times
  • there should be a 3 second gap between cuts
  • if songs are segued, there should be an ID where you would like the spread to be on the vinyl
  • there should be a 10 second pause between sides
  • R-60 and R-90 DATs are preferred and should be recorded at 48 kHz sampling frequency unless you wish to clone directly to 1630 (44.1 kHz) at a later date
We provide the following helpful tips to help you plan the mastering of your source.
