Time for Your Music CD Replication or Duplication?

Plain CD

Music CD replication or duplication is the final stage in your music CD manufacturing process.

You will, after your mastering session, have in your possession a Red Book standard master disk. You are now ready to get copies made for sales and distribution.

You can of course burn CD's with your computer at home. You'll find this process too slow as you can usually do only one at a time, which is useless for larger quantities.

You should, for a larger quantity of CD copies, use one of the host of CD replication companies, services and packages available to you.

You'll want to compare services to make sure you get the best quality work done, for the best price. You'll find that short run CD replication, with fewer copies made, costs more per copy than large volume CD replication.

You can check on the reputation of any CD replication company by doing a search for their name in Google. You may also want to ask for recommendations on music production forums.

You can always save up and buy your own CD duplication equipment, though I've been advised that this is not the best way to go about your manufacturing.

All the best,
Marius van Dyk

"Yes, your site is great. I devoured all of it, watched all the Vids because you cover all the important current marketing strategies a band/artist should be doing.
