EVERY MACHINE HAS A SOUL.

- the easiest way to provide AUDIO files is to send tracks individualy - name WAV files with the following naming convention:
A1_Artist Name - Song Title
A2_Artist Name - Song Title
B1_Artist Name - Song Title, etc.
- in this case, there is no need to provide a PQ sheet.

Or send us 2xWAV. file, two sides of your album with /silence/ gaps included and attach the PQ sheet - document that tells us exactly where individual songs begin and end, and where exactly the gaps are.

- regarding vinyl records, the fewer minutes per side, the louder the recording. For LPs, the ideal length is up to 20 minutes per side. If you provide audio that exceeds 22 minutes (max. up to 25 minutes), we charge an extra fee. These records are more complicated to produce
- if your album concept allows, it’s best if the sides are roughly equal in length.
- the best results are achieved when the more dynamic tracks are at the beginning of the side and the quieter ones at the end

- export your master files 44,1 kHz / 24bit or more

- for vinyl pre-mastering, it’s not recommended to "push" audio tracks to zero, compress them, etc.
- it’s best to provide audio tracks with sufficient "headroom," as this allows us to work with the volume and push it to the maximum
- the volume of the recording will be raised analogically by our mastering engineer/technician.

- when preparing your graphics, please follow the template instructions. This will save a lot of time for both you and us and avoid delays in delivery
- the delivery time starts after we receive the CORRECTLY prepared materials
- pay special attention to color correctness, bleed, and proper export of files. We need PDF files only. No RGB, JPG, PNG, AI,...

We ship vinyl records in double cardboard boxes designed for vinyl transport. If you want to pick up your records in person, we would be happy to welcome you in Trenčín. It is possible that your records will be produced sooner than the set deadline.
The deadline is based on the production of lacquer master disks, stampers, and packaging at the printers.
Our logistics partners deliver your records safely in boxes or on pallets to destinations across Europe.
