If yes, we will tastefully create the needed fades & spacing. If you have already created them yourself, upload a cue sheet and/or a gapless audio file of your album below, so that we may reference it in recreating it to your exacting standards. If you are submitting a gapless file only, you may submit it now or later with your other files. We strongly suggest having your fades created or recreated at the mastering stage, as adding fades prior to mastering can affect sound quality by shifting dynamic processing.

If you are getting vinyl manufactured and would like us to do the pre-master, select this option. An optimized, dedicated vinyl pre-master is achieved by making the proper adjustments and implementing software that allows us to catch any potential issues and then optimize your music for cutting prior to your music going to the manufacturer. This is a complicated mathematical process which strategically plots your music across the viny platter. Optimization of space allows your music to sound it's best. Having a clearer vision of how your music will sound on vinyl prior to it reaching the manufacturing plant is in your best interest.

You acknowledge that we've encouraged you to follow vinyl manufacturing best practices and have informed you that our resources page contains said information. You may also click here to view/download a copy. If you have any further questions, please ask.

If you are unsure, we will choose the optimal speed for your project, though you may also click here to view/download a copy. of our 33.3 RPM vs. 45 RPM document here.

We create a spec sheet for your cutting engineer, which we clearly label Side A/B or Side 1/2. For multi disc vinyl, we will use a label such as Side A Disc 1 or Side 1 Disc A, according to your selection. To avoid any potential confusion at the pressing plant, please choose your preference.

Best practice is to clearly label your versions and put them in a separate folder when uploading. ***Versions must be identical to the source of the original or you will be notified of a required additional rate which is the standard per song rate.***

**Extremely important:** Please enter as much metadata as possible. At minimum, we require the artist name, song title, and—when applicable—album title. We strongly encourage clients not to rely solely on their digital distributor or streaming-platform delivery process to create, verify, or preserve essential release metadata and ISRC assignments. Confirm that your metadata is accurate and that each recording has the correct ISRC before release. You may enter your metadata below or upload a completed **metadata CSV file** with the upload form. Our Resources page includes information about the importance of metadata and ISRC codes. Please ask if you have questions. Accurate metadata affects how you—and potentially other contributors—are credited and paid. If you do not have this information yet, you may save this form and provide it before we begin work on your project.

If you'd like us to share your release on our socials or website on or after your release day, select yes. If unsure, select the maybe later option. Selecting either of those options will open a drop-down box with more information. Please furnish whatever you want posted and your release dates prior to the release and we will do our best in posting on our platforms.
