Just a short while ago, the only people who had
access to CD duplication were professional musicians,
record company executives, and the higher end
recording studios. As technology increased and
became more affordable, private CD duplication
companies began to pop up all over the United States
and other major music centers throughout the country.
These days, CD duplication has never been more
accessible or more affordable. Most home computers
and laptops come with a CD-RW burner and software
that is very user friendly, making CD duplication
very convenient.
Even if you are new to computers, you'll find
CD duplication very easy to figure out. You don't
have to be a computer expert to use the CD-RW
burner or the software, as most of it is self
explanitory. All you need to do is give it a run
and see easy things actually are.
Those who are needing a large quantity of CDs
duplicated or simply wish to have a professional
company burn their CDs, there are several out there
that offer great rates, package deals, and quality
recordings. You can get as many as you want, with
quality that matches that of the master copy.
Most CD duplication companies offer packages that
will include inserts, tray cards, and even
packaging should you choose to take your duplicates
to retail sale.
You can also choose to have your graphic work
imprinted on the inserts or have the CD duplication
company design a totally new design for your very
product. If you are worried about the inventory,
barcodes can be imprinted on the CD case or the
sleeve by the same company.
For whatever duplication needs you may have, there
are companies out there that offer duplication or
you can do it yourself. Either way you choose,
you'll get the copies you need in no time at all.
Musicians And Cd Duplication

These days, technology is always available for any
inspiring musician to record, create, and even
duplicate CDs. The duplication of CDs will involve
CD-R media. CD-R media prices have dropped a lot
over the last several years, making them affordable
for anyone who wants to use them.
If your band is ready to start selling CDs, your
best option may be to have your CDs replicated.
Replicated CDs are the same CDs that you'll find
in music stores by major label artists. They all
have excellent artwork printed on the CD inserts,
nice tray card inserts, screened art on the CD,
and they are even shrink wrapped.
The retail CDs that you buy aren't duplicated, they
are replicated. This means that an exact replica
of your master CD has been stamped out on all of
the other CDs. If you are serious about selling
your music for profit, replication is the way to
go.
The fact is, most stores simply won't sell duplicated
CDs. Duplicated CDs can be against the law,
which is the main reason retail stores simply
won't carry them. Replicated CDs let the stores
know that the CD is legit, and they will almost
always carry those CDs.
For musicians and inspiring bands, CD duplication
can tend to be a bit more expensive than that
of replication. To duplicate CDs, you need a
computer with a CD burner, your CD-R media, cases,
and a lot of man hours.
With CD replication, you can get many more copies,
professional artwork, a barcode for inventory, and
cases included. Replication is obviously to
expensive for those looking to simply back up
pictures and data on a personal computer, although
the prices are just right for musicians looking
to make profit off of their CDs.
Essentials Of Cdr

The simple rule of thumb is that whatever you have
stored as a file on any other storage medium can
also be stored as a file on a CD-ROM. To the
recorder, a file is a file, and an ISO doesn't
care whether or not the file contains pictures, text,
or even audio sound.
There are a few special cases, as to where you
would want to record a file to a CD in a special
type of format. The most obvious here is CD-DA
audio. If you wanted to record an audio file to
a CD so that you could play it back on your home
stereo, you would need to write a CD-DA (or Digital
Audio) disk.
When you copy data to a CD, you need to ensure that
your data doesn't exceed the capacity of the CD
that you will be recording to. Due to the audio
requirements of CDs, the amount of information a
CD can hold is measured in minutes/seconds/sectors.
Each second can contain 75 sectors, each of which
are capable of holding 2,048 bytes of Mode 1 user
data.
By using the CD Size command in the edit menu, you
can set the capacity of the set you wish to
produce, which will help you to prevent exceeding
it. The status bar will show you how much space
you have used, how much remains free, and the
percentage of each one.
Even though this may sound a bit confusing at
first, keep in mind that it may take some time if
you are new to computers. Even though copying a
CD is quite easy, knowing the limits and how things
work is a bit more complex. Give it some time,
and you'll be copying files to CD like the pros
do it.
Disc Quality

The high demand and dramatic increase in CD media,
plus the competitive pressures to squeeze out
every possible cost and improve the profit margins
have given rise to many manufacturers of CD related
media. To help reduce the costs of increasing
capacity, many of these firms have relocated their
old manufacturing lines and hired staff that learn
on the job.
The biggest problems with CDs occurs when discs are
produced using older equipment then end up failing
when you try to use them. Luckily, most of these
types will fail when you first try to record on
them. There is however, a likelihood that the disc
will complete a burn and the media won't play at
all.
The agony of taking your photo or video treasures
and putting them on CD or DVD and then deleting them
from your camera or computer only to realize that
the copy is corrupted is far too much to risk. The
brand name company's such as Verbatim choose to
guard their reputation for quality and durability
by using only advanced recording dye and other
types of technology to produce high speed discs.
The stability of the recording dye is very critical
as heat, humidity, oxygen, and even UV light can
degrade the dye. Verbatim research has also proven
there is a strong correlation between the production
and bonding processes of disc quality.
For data and personal pictures that are important,
you should always buy quality CD media. Then,
before you go ahead and delete the source file,
trying playing the disc back to ensure that it
copied correctly. This way, you won't have to
worry about losing your precious files and photos
when you remove the source from your computer.

There has never been a better time than now to have
your audio book, music project, computer data, or
CD-R business card duplicated. Unlike the days gone
by, these processes are cheaper than ever before -
even for those on a budget.
Over the last several years, the costs of blank CDs
have dropped quite a bit. The retail chains such
as Office Max, Staples, and Best Buy run specials
on blank CDs where you can purchase a 50 CD-R spindle
for under $20. You can even find similar deals
on Froogle, such as a 50 pack spindle of blank CD-R
disks for less than $12.
Those interested in CD duplication at home, will find
that many of the newer computers come packages with
a CD burner included at prices under $500. If you
already own a computer and want to add an internal
CD burner, several retailers have brands for under
$50. You can also purchase an external CD burner
for all your needs for under $100.
Making cheap duplications of CDs even more affordable
are the powerhouses such as DiscMakers, Oasis,
and CDman, all of whom specialize in duplicating
large quantities of CDs at low prices. Not only
do these powerhouses offer superior quality at
a great price, but they also give great deals
on graphics, CD inserts, and jewel cases as well.
With cheap prices, you can get everything you need
at a price you can't argue with. If you've
copied CDs in the past, you can quit paying high
costs and save yourself a ton of money. Those
who offer CD duplication at a cheap price are
great at what they do - saving you a ton of money
for your CD duplication needs.
Intro To Cd Mastering

Even though many assume that the mixing of the
seperate audio tracks is the final step, a recording
should always be mastered well in order to sound
great. CD mastering is the final chance for
creative input when you create a compact disc.
After the discs has been mastered, it can be printed,
reproduced, and then sold.
The process of mastering a CD actually involves
several steps. The first step is putting the songs,
or tracks at this point in the correct order. The
length of time between the songs is also adjusted,
along with the editing of the songs. Any unlisted
or secret songs on the CD are normally added at
this point as well.
There are several ways that you can go about
mastering a CD. First of all, the mix can be
sent to a professional CD mastering engineer,
which is what professional musicians normally
decide to do.
The mastering engineers will often work in their
own mastering facilities, which are very different
from standard studios, in the fact that they have
much less gear and are designed for the best
possible playback of the mix as possible in
order to fix anything that's wrong.
Aside from mastering engineers, CDs can also be
mastered at home using computer software. This
option is normally more realistic for unsigned
artists or musicians who are just starting out
with their music. Depending on the software
quality and skill of the individual doing the
mastering, the CD may turn out perfect or it
may sound very unprofessional.
You can also refer to online CD mastering as
another option. Cds that are mastered online
can be great, as instead of sending a mix to a
mastering engineer, the mix is instead sent
via the Internet. To do this, you'll need a
high speed Internet connection.
The cheapest way to go about mastering a CD is
with free mastering. Artists and musicians may
choose to use free mastering programs with
demos or other earlier recordings that artists
will use to send to major record labels to
generate some interest in their music.
The major differences with a professional CD
and an amateur recording is normally found in
the mastering. Every song that you hear played
on the radio is thoroughly mastered in order
to sound better.
While you can master using free programs or
your computer, a professional CD mastering
engineer is normally the best way to do business
if your band is looking to make a profit from
your music.

If a recording artist or inspiring musician has
any hopes of having their songs played on the
radio, they'll need to have their rough mix
mastered very well. The best way to do this, is
to hire a CD mastering engineer.
Professional mastering engineers can make a
decent audio mix sound great and a good mix
sound completely amazing. There are many different
things that CD mastering engineers can do. They
will work with the artist to decide what order
the songs appear on the CD, and also equalize
the volume of the different instruments in each
song and across the entire CD.
They can also help to add more definition and
clarity to the instruments in a song. Then,
they will adjust the introductions and ends of
the songs, choosing the length of time between
the songs and adding crossfades or other nice
effects if they need to.
The order in which the songs on a CD appear
can greatly affect the way the CD progresses
when it's played. If similar sounding songs
are placed side by side on a CD, it can lead
listeners into thinking the artist has a very
limited range. It's ultimately up to the
CD mastering engineer to work with the recording
artist and choose the order of songs on the CD.
It's very important that the instruments in a
song and the songs on the CD be at an appropriate
volume level. Within a song, the different
elements must be mixed appropriately in order
for the song to sound like it should.
The CD engineer can also give clarity and
definition to the different instruments in a
song. The engineer will also have the task of
assuring that the volume levels across all
of the songs are the same, in order to help
the CD sound more cohesive while still leaving
room for dynamics.
The CD mastering engineer will also determine
how much time there should be between the songs
on the CD. They will also fade and crossfasde
the intros and endings of the songs to make
them have a better flow.
For an interesting career, CD mastering engineers
is a great choice. They make excellent money,
get to work with top artists, and enjoy what
they do. If you like music, this career may be
what you've always wanted. For those who are
already in the profession - it's a job unlike
any other out there in the world.
What You Should Know

With the increasing amount of CD duplication options
for equipment, its very important that you read the
reviews for the different types of equipment you
are considering before you make that final decision
and choose your model.
The best CD duplication equipment for your project
will all depend on the volume of CDs you plan to
duplicate at a time, and the amount of money that
you are planning to invest on a particular piece of
equipment.
Your best source for reading reviews of CD duplication
equipment is on the Internet. There are many
different consumer websites out there that will allow
users to post reviews of equipment, then rate them
on a five or ten point scale. Anytime you are
reading reviews, it's very important that you get
your information from a trusted and reliable source.
Websites that are up by the owner of the product, or
those that are trying to sell you specific hardware
normally aren't the best to turn to when you need to
read a review. No one who is trying to get you to
buy a certain piece of hardware is going to tell
you about the flaws the equipment has, or even let
you know about a competitor who has a similiar item
for sale at half the price.
All across the internet, you can find many different
websites that offer the information you seek. There
are several that offer forums, where other users
will tell you honest opinions and give you feedback
about the equipment they own. This can be a great
way to find out about the duplication equipment
your interested in and what else is available for
you to purchase.
Another excellent place to look for CD duplication
equipment reviews is trade magazines and even
electronic magazines. Magazines will normally test
equipment then share their their opinions with their
readers. Always be sure when you are reading a
review that it's an article sponsored by the
magazine and not a paid advertisement.
CD duplication reviews of equipment are a great
resource when trying to find a piece of equipment
to use. With so many on the market, its always
good to have resources when you need to make
an important decision. A review will also tell you
everything the label and description of the
product leaves out, which can help to ensure you
get the best piece of duplication equipment for
your hard earned money.
Tips For Cd Duplication Side Business
(category: Cd-Duplication, Word count: 446)

The process of CD duplication has arrived in a very
big way. Teenagers these days are using their CD
burners to rip MP3s from their favorite artists and
bands. Companies choose to use CD duplication to
make backups of their software and important
documents.
Federal agencies on the other hand, are scrambling
to define and interpret intellectual piracy and
copyright laws as they relate to CD duplication and
the industry of music as a whole. The movie industry
is also seeking how they can profit from using CD
duplication. With so much attention being focused
on CD duplication, now is the ideal time to turn
your home CD duplication hardware into a very
profitable side business.
Believe it or not, you may already have everything
you need to get your CD duplication process going
in the right direction. All you need to get your
business started is a computer, CD burner, CD
duplication software, and a few blank CD-R disks.
Contrary to what you may think, its that easy to
get going.
If you don't have a computer or a CD burner, you
really shouldn't worry, as purchasing a CD duplication
device is actually very affordable. The cost of
stand alone CD duplication software has reduced
quite a bit over the years.
Almost all home computers come with internal CD
duplication hardware (CD burners) and some sort
of duplication software as well. CD duplication
media, such as blank CD-R and CD-RW are very
low in price and can be purchased at almost all
retail stores.
The market for your CD duplication service or
company is going to local bands and musicians as
well as small businesses. Local up and coming
bands are often too busy perfecting their sound
to deal with the tedious and time consuming task
of duplicating CDs for their gigs. They also lack
the money to order CDs from the big time CD
duplication companies as well.
The smaller businesses are pretty much the same, as
they are almost always unable to financially
justify having a technical or computer staff to
handle the backup and data storage aspects of their
company. Many times, they will end up forgoing
needed data backups simply because they forget all
about it.
You can however, solve these common gaps, provide
needed service, and earn some nice side money by
starting your own duplication service that caters
to these types of clients. By offering a reasonable
price, fast rate of delivery, and a quality product,
you'll get many repeat customers and a side
business that will keep busy for as long as you
want it.
