Duplicate without using the hard drive?

[FIFTY8TH]

George..

All kinds of thiings. Faster and faster buning is a growing industry. Where is is the top ? These dupicators are getting cheaper and cheaper and faster and faster. Its a market that seems to be unstopable.

You can't find a manufacturer who will make less than 300 glass master discs for an order. Here at this studio we burn the discs ourselves for any order under 300....but over that...we farm them out to a manufacturer...who will do a professional glass master.

A burned disc is called a ' one off ' . Mastering houses will send a 'one off ' to you for an example of how their processing of your music is coming....but when you order the discs ....they are sent to a manufacturer for glass mastering.

Here is the difference....OK .. for one thing glass masters are the best...they work on all USA consumer players....at least all player that conform to all the required standards of the industy.

It costs money to make them....but burned CD's are cheaper at lower numbers. If you think about it...there are thousands of projects that would b e cheaper than glass masters.... like would if a college had a 12 part series of educations discs.....

Some people like churches and bands don't have the money for glass masters
so they hire companies off the internet with duplicators. Burned copies don't always work on players....and copies of burned disc have much greater failure rate...

Burned discs have die that get pitted from the laser....but commercial discs are made differently...notice commercial discs are not colored ?

I got to run....I have limited myself 1 hour a day to answer client email..and I have run way over today... later.
