π§Ύ In a few words
Vinyl is a physical medium with limits, so not all digital audio translates the same way. A few adjustments can make a big difference, especially for voice messages or soft acoustic tracks.
π Details
π§ Best audio formats to use:
- WAV (preferred β uncompressed, best quality)
- MP3 (high bitrate only β 320kbps recommended)
- Avoid M4P or other DRM-protected formats (they canβt be opened)
ποΈ Tips to optimize your audio for vinyl:
- Use files with clear volume β avoid tracks that are too quiet
- Trim silence at the beginning or end β especially for voice messages
- Fade in/fade out songs or transitions to reduce pops or abrupt cuts
- Keep the tracklist under the recommended time for each side (donβt push to the max)
- Match your volume levels across all tracks to avoid big jumps in loudness
- Donβt send recordings with heavy background noise β the vinyl will capture it too
π οΈ Optional services we offer:
- Volume adjustment (included by default)
- Mastering add-on (recommended for audiophiles or custom music projects)
- AI enhancement for voice notes or messages with poor audio (ask us before ordering)
π For special cases:
- Voice messages: Record in a quiet space using your phone's voice memo app
- Videos: We can extract the audio if needed β just send us the file
- Multiple songs: Always create two playlists (Side A and Side B) to check timing
