Audio Specifications

Vinylmasteren må leveres som to filer, en for hver side, og cuesheet som PDF.
Cue sheet er en slags rapport med all informasjon om masteren din, for hver vinylside.
Dette inkluderer titlene, rekkefølgen og lengden på låtene.
Den ideelle lengden på én plateside er 15 til 18 min, noe som også inkluderer pausene mellom låtene.
En kan maksimalt presse inn 22 minutter på en tolvtommers LP, men dette er ikke anbefalt da det kan gå ut over lydkvaliteten.

Send one continuous file for each vinyl side, containing the songs and the pauses between them.
Formats: WAV, AIFF, FLAC (lossless).
Bit Rate: 24 bits (16 bits works too) 32 bits is overkill.
Sampling Rate: 44,1 kHz or higher.
Recommended side length:
Max 22 min pr side for a 12” LP. Soft music (i.e classical or jazz) is not necessarily a problem at 22 min or slightly longer times.
15-18 min pr side are ideal lengths.

Include cue sheets describing the amount of tracks, song start / end times, and total running time for each side.
Make a ZIP archive of these files, and send it using WeTransfer, Filemail or similar to:

Mastering Specifications (for best results):

Vocals should be properly de-essed for vinyl. Ideally already at the mixing stage, but also in mastering if needed. Excessive sibilance can produce distortion (sibilance distortion). Excessive hi end should also be controlled.
Avoid digital clipping, resulting in square waveforms. Clipped waveforms will only give more distortion on your vinyl record!
Limiting and compression for loudness (ment for digital formats) is ideally kept to a minimum.
Avoid using stereo wideners. Especially in the low end.
Note: Cd and streaming masters are often not ideal for vinyl cutting. If you have to use a cd mastering, T-Time can´t guarantee the sound quality of your vinyl record.
