Audio Master For CD Duplication
When setting up your CD duplication or replication project, you obviously know that you must provide the duplication house with a master copy of your CD audio to duplicate from. This should be a carefully burned copy of your final, edited and mastered audio recording. Since this master copy is going to be used as a blueprint for all your CDs, it is the most important piece of the pie. While most people think that you can take your final recording, burn a copy from your computer, and have it be done; this is not always the case. There are a few different things to take into account when preparing your master for duplication or replication. These are the things we will be discussing today in this article.
Make sure that after you’re done burning your CD-R, that you test it out on your home stereo. I usually test mine on a boom box, my home stereo, and my car stereo; just to be sure.
These 5 things are generally the most important factors when it comes to burning a master in preparation for CD duplication and replication. But please do not treat this article as the final authority on audio CD master preparation. You will want to contact the company who is doing your duplication and ask them about their CD master standards, as they vary from house to house. I hope this article shed a little light on the dark and mysterious subject known as preparing your audio master for disc duplication.
