Professional Vinyl Mastering Services
For over 15 years, 36 Hertz Mastering has been trusted by producers, record labels, and independent artists worldwide to deliver vinyl-ready masters that sound exceptional on wax. With tens of thousands of records pressed from our masters, we bring deep knowledge and experience to every project we work on.
Our team has worked closely with many of the UK’s top vinyl cutting houses, building long-standing relationships and a detailed understanding of what cutting engineers need to achieve the cleanest, most dynamic, and best-balanced cut possible. Whether you’re cutting your record via lacquer mastering or DMM (Direct Metal Mastering), we’ll tailor your vinyl pre-master exactly to the technical specs provided by your pressing plant, vinyl broker, or cutting engineer.
Lacquer & DMM Vinyl Masters
We supply vinyl cut–ready masters to the precise format required for your release. Every project is carefully checked for phase alignment, stereo balance, frequency response, and low-end control – ensuring your tracks translate perfectly to vinyl. Whether you need a lacquer master for traditional cutting or a DMM master for higher-fidelity, lower-noise pressings, 36 Hertz Mastering can provide both with fast turnaround times and professional results.
In-House Test Cuts & Short-Run Vinyl
If you’d like to check how your master performs before pressing a full run, we offer in-house vinyl test cuts. These are ideal for verifying sound quality, checking track spacing, or even producing limited edition lathe cuts for collectors. Most test cuts are completed within a couple of working days, and we can also supply full-colour labels for promo use or photography. Every test cut is made on our professional vinyl lathe, ensuring the results are as close as possible to a full production pressing.
Vinyl Pressing & Distribution Support
If you need vinyl pressing or distribution, we can connect you with trusted pressing plants and distributors we’ve worked with over the years. From mastering to cutting to delivery, we can help guide you through the process to make sure your release sounds and looks exactly how you want it.
