Master your songs for vinyl<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital masters are different and would not sound great on vinyl records when they are pressed on the format. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to ensure great sound quality, make sure that you have your songs mastered for vinyl. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look for an engineer that\u2019s experienced in mastering songs for vinyl.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2. Rearrange your tracks per side from noisy to mellow<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since it\u2019s a tactile format, the kind of music you put on them would affect how they will sound. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The inner grooves are more susceptible to distortion so having songs with heavy music information would not be a good choice. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So we suggest you put the noisier songs at the starting grooves and the mellower ones at the end part.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3. Thoroughly check the test press<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The test pressings sent to you would be the last chance for you to check if there are any flaws with the mastering and cutting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you don\u2019t check it thoroughly, then it will be your fault. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you hear something, try another test press and check if the same sound is produced on the same spot, this will help you confirm that the stamper was flawed and was not a chance mistake during the pressing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-customize-your-vinyl-album\"><\/span><b>HOW TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR VINYL ALBUM\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are lots of ways you can customize your vinyl record album and we have them here on a list.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-vinyl-jacket\"><\/span><b>#1.
