How can I provide the audio for my cassette production?
For the best quality you should provide your audio as 16bit 44.1kHz WAV files, ideally as complete A and B side single tracks as this can help to avoid any track order issues when we process the order, but if you do need to supply them as separate tracks then that is fine. If you do send separate tracks for each side then please clearly label them with the track order and which side they are on or supply them in separate folders for side A and B. The ideal numbering would be each track starting with A1, A2, A3…. B1, B2, B3…etc
You can also supply us with MP3 files if you prefer and whilst the quality of MP3s is not quite the same as a WAV file as MP3s are always compressed to some extent, it is unlikely to be noticeable in cassette duplication if supplying us with higher quality MP3s.
We don’t recommend sending AIFF or FLAC files as they as they are more prone to errors in our experience.
You do not need to master any differently than for a CD, the only change that we will make is removing any audio below 20Hz as this frequency is used by the duplication equipment for the cue tone to know where to cut and splice each tape.
