This post has to deal with what happens after the writing, recording and mixing.
The band that I am currently in is ready to release a CD but are having trouble with the actual CD produciton for the masses. So, any advice of where we can have our CD mass produced for a cheap price and good quality?
Minorkeylee, either or. Localy would be my prefrance for the printing job so I can do a press check. I have checked Dandee, on that web site you suggested but the price break is only good for thousands of CD's not several hundrad which I am looking for.
I'm still looking but thank you for your input guys. Would it be cheeper to puchase all the parts, jewel cases, CDs and inserts all together or seperatly?
Discmakers in my opinion is a little expensive - Especially for a quick and dirty local release. Get's back to that whole "what are you going for on your release" thing. The Disk Faktory has done some short run CDRs with a black thermal print on silver discs for pretty cheap. If I'm not mistaken, 100 CDRS run around $80. Basic print and text. Not Local. You could also try locals Desoto Productions. Georgie is a nice woman and works some decent deals - same type of print job.
Then you could buy the clear slimline jewelcase and print you own artwork and assemble. Try Subia for your graphics. Subia works great off of .tiff files without color separation.
