 Making
copies of cds for the beginner
There
are tons of CD duplication services available online today.
Most people getting cds printed for the first time end up with
a locally printed low quality product. The rest end up paying
twice as much as they need to.
Before you spend your money
on a product that you are going to be using to promote
your music or information, ask yourself a few questions.
1. How many copies do
you really need? Most individuals print
far more discs than they actually end up using. Most of us
know a band that got their "demo" professionally printed for
hundreds of dollars just to end up with boxes full of discs
collecting dust in the closet.
2. How much artwork do
you really need? If this is your first
release, you are not going to need a five page insert. The cheapest
and most common option is to use a one page insert.
3. Do you even need the
jewel case? You can skip the fancy
jewel case if you are going to be distributing them yourself.
Just go out and buy cases as you are getting rid of the cd.
4. Can you do it
yourself? There are loads of cheap cd duplicators
that can burn off multiple copies in seconds. If you play local
shows and want to hand them out free, this is a great way to
manage your cost. Another advantage to duplicating your own
music cds is that you can go and make changes to your disc
and add tracks without having to wait until your next "major"
release.
