Approve your audio with Test Tapes

The industry standard when it comes to vinyl pressing is to receive advance copies of your LP so you can approve the sound quality before mass manufacturing. This way you can catch any blips, glitches, or audio drops before you receive hundreds of sub-standard copies. Why should the audio cassette industry be any different?
Get peace of mind by requesting Test Tapes with your cassette duplication order!

You can simply add the test tape option with our simple-to-use cassette duplication form. After optimizing your audio for audio cassette we will duplicate a cassette to mail directly to you. You let us know if there are any issues in the audio. If there are problems with our duplication process we will rework the setup and supply you with new test tapes. If the issue lies in the supplied master files, you can send new files and we can begin the process anew at an extra cost. After you approve the test tape we will begin mass production. Please keep in mind the test tape process adds 1 to 2 weeks to your turntime, and physical artwork and packaging proofs are at extra cost.

You can always expect excellent sounding audio cassettes from Duplication.ca! Our real-time duplication services allow for a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz, which is great if you have heavy bass pads or high-frequency tones in your master. Our high-speed duplication service is ideal for mid-range masters, handling 20Hz to 16kHz. We base the recording volume on the highest peaks of your master, making your cassette as loud as possible before distorting. With or without test tapes, we maintain a high standard for quality assurance. Each real-time cassette is played back to ensure the audio quality and volume is optimal, and the same is done for each high-speed duplication pancake.
