| Everyone has the real urge
today to start recording their own CDs at home. The Technology is available, but the
question is - "reliability at what price?" Certainly, one without
the worry of money can go out and purchase a high end CD recorder
for thousands of dollars that works quite well.
But what about most of us that have heard about the CD recorders that go into an
empty slot in our PC? The price now is under $500.00 and the temptation is now
surging. Olympus has their offering packaged with the Corel CD Creator software that has
been notorious for crashing many-a-fine system. We understand that they have sold the
software to another company, -smart! CD-R Technology will improve significantly over time and will become the
standard for home recording in the near future. Blank discs are about
$3.00 to $4.00
now and will drop as production increases. This is less than 1/2 the cost just a
short time ago.
You may seek
out some quality CD production and replication houses. These
firms will take your recorded master and setup
"turnkey" CD replication. They may be of assistance
in cover design as well as offering tips on marketing your CD
at reasonable price packages.
Throughout our site, you can find several
resources to prepare yourself for CD production. In our Virtual
Music Mall, you may find several stores that sell CD products; i.e. labeling kits,
jewel cases,etc. You may also read through tutorials on home studio recording and CD production.
