What is a dubplate?

Make A Vinyl Record. One At A Time.

A dubplate, or lathe-cut vinyl record, is made one at a time in real time. Our records are cut into a durable PETG disc using a diamond stylus, with mono and stereo formats available.

Whether it’s a personal gift, a short-run release, or a one-of-a-kind piece, each record captures a moment designed to last.

Audio Requirements
W
Format
WAV only. 24-bit preferred (16-bit OK). No MP3.
L
Limiting
Avoid heavy limiting. Dynamic mixes cut better.
B
Bass
Keep bass centered below ~150 Hz.
S
Stereo
Avoid extreme width. Check your mix in mono.
H
Highs
Control harsh highs and sibilance.
!
Clipping
Do not clip. Distortion is amplified on vinyl.
Length
Longer sides = lower level and more noise.
1
Sequencing
Strong tracks first. Softer tracks toward the end.
Upload
Submit Side A and Side B as separate WAV files.

Advanced Notes

Do not upsample or convert MP3 files to higher sample rates or bit depth. Export audio at your project’s original resolution.

Keep stereo correlation positive in critical ranges. Very wide high frequencies can cause groove instability.

Inner grooves distort bright and loud material first. Place detailed or aggressive tracks earlier in the side.

System calibrated to DIN 45 541 (0 VU reference). Premastering and level optimization handled in-house.

How To Prepare Side A + Side B

Export two continuous audio files — one per side — and upload them at checkout.
Step 1 Arrange Step 2 Export Step 3 Upload
Step 1
Arrange Songs
Place your tracks in order and build two continuous sides. Keep each side under the runtime limit for your format.

Stronger or brighter tracks should usually go earlier in the side.
Important: Add at least 2 seconds of silence between songs. If you do not include spacing, the side will play continuously.
Step 2
Export Audio Files
Export Side A.wav and Side B.wav as WAV or AIFF.

44.1 kHz / 16-bit minimum. 24-bit preferred. Leave a clean fade-out at the end of each side.
Do not upload individual songs. Each side must be one continuous audio file.
No MP3. Do not upsample or convert compressed files to higher sample rates or bit depth.
Step 3
Upload Both Files
Upload both audio files at checkout and name them clearly:
Artist_SideA.wav
Artist_SideB.wav
Required: Files must be fully downloadable. No streaming links.
If files are too large, send via WeTransfer to info@lathecutvinylrecords.com and include your order number.
Don’t have a DAW or don’t know how to build your sides? If you only have individual songs, we can help sequence your tracks and prepare your sides through our disc mastering service.
By submitting audio, you confirm you have the legal right to reproduce the material.
