12” Vinyl Cutting (1 Track Per Side)
Our 12” vinyl cutting service is tailored for one-track-per-side dubplates, giving you the best possible translation from digital to vinyl.
Each record is cut in real-time using our fully calibrated “Pinked” T560 cutting system onto premium blanks, selected for their low surface noise and consistent playback.
By dedicating one track per side, we’re able to achieve significantly higher cutting levels, improved low-end response, and wider groove spacing, resulting in a louder, cleaner, and more dynamic record.
This format is ideal for DJs, club play, and producers who want their track to hit as hard as possible on vinyl.
The Process
Ordering your dubplate is simple and flexible.
Select your preferred vinyl colour and centre label option, then upload your audio and artwork after checkout via the intake form.
Each record is carefully cut, checked, and prepared by hand to ensure the best possible result before shipping.
Audio & Format Guidance
Cuts are available at 33 or 45 RPM, depending on your track length and preferred playback style.
For best results, we recommend:
• High-quality 24-bit WAV or AIFF files
• If you’re submitting your own production, please include pre & post master versions where possible
• Clean, unclipped masters with controlled low-end
• Mono-compatible low frequencies (below ~150Hz)
If you’re unsure, we’re always happy to advise before cutting to ensure your track translates correctly to vinyl.
All audio is carefully checked and, where needed, subtly optimised using our 20+ years of post-production experience to achieve the best possible cut.
