Are mp3 files suitable for vinyl records? If the record is only supposed to be a souvenir, mp3 files are an acceptable format. Conversion to the mp3 format irreversibly destroys a lot of data from the source file. Yet, if the mp3 file sounds good enough for you, the quality of the sound will only get better on the vinyl record.

How does 'Analog Mastering' work?- In very simple terms – Your recordings will be processed. We will fix any problems in the sound spectrum. If there are elements which are too loud or too quiet, we will adjust them accordingly. We will then perform a 'trial cut', before moving on to the final cut. If we're not happy with the results at this stage, we will contact you to discuss all available options. Read more in the Mastering section.
