Yes! You can waive this right but we do not advise doing so.
A Test Pressing of your project is an essential and time honored tradition of the vinyl pressing experience.

What should I be checking for on my Tests?

Please listen to all of the units sent – typically 4 copies- on multiple turntables to ensure that playback is consistent and that any potential discrepancies are not player or needle related.

Listen to all of your records carefully to verify that the side breaks and tracks are in the correct running order, the rotation speed is correct, the song breaks are accurate and the visual track markers are properly placed.
If you had a custom etching done in the run out groove that should also be inspected.

We cannot stress this enough, but please try and listen to your tests on a properly calibrated and maintained turntable as the record will only sound as true and “good” as the stereo being utilized.

If you do hear any persistent audio issues or skipping there are some interim measures to investigate prior to you rejecting your tests.
Identifying the exact location and consistency of a possible issue on all the tests helps more readily resolve the problem.
If you have specific questions about your test presses please contact your production manager to discuss the issue further.
