However, any “professional” CD purchased from a retail outlet such as Best Buy or Sam Goodies works in any type of CD player. What are they doing that we aren't? Why won't certain CD Roms duplicated at home play in all CD players?
Believe it or not, it's because the music industry burns their CD Roms differently. Instead of duplicating CDs, the music industry replicates CDs. Though the terminology seems synonymous, the process is completely different.
CD replication is used for mass production of CDs (+500). Instead of writing data to a CD using a laser as with CD Rom duplication, CD replication uses a glass master to stamp (press) data onto the disc. This eliminates practically all of the issues with playability that are encountered when burning CDs at home. CD replication is a far superior process of burning CDs.
It is important to note that the superior quality of CD Roms pressed using CD replication doesn't come cheap. Even when using independent CD Rom duplication companies such as Absolute Disc or Oasis, there is still going to be a higher cost associated with replicated discs.
For your next project, have your CD Roms replicated rather than duplicated. This will ensure that your product has the highest quality standard. Remember, that due to cost, you will have to order at least 500 CDs in order to receive this process. However, you can rest assured knowing that the quality of your disc is on the same level as the professionals.
How To Burn Cds
Just a few years ago, the only people with access to CD duplication were professional musicians, record company conglomerates, and higher end recording studios. However, as technology increased and became more affordable, private CD duplication specialty companies began springing up all over Chicago and other major music centers throughout the country.
Today, CD duplication has never been more affordable or accessible. Most home computers and laptops come prepackaged with a CD-RW burner and software that is extremely “user-friendly” making CD duplication remarkably convenient.
However, for those who need a large quantity of CDs duplicated or simply want a professional company to burn their CDs, Chicago CD duplication companies offer some of the best rates, package deals, and quality recording available anywhere.
Most of these Chicago area CD duplication companies offer packages that include inserts, tray cards, and packaging for retail sale. You can also have your own graphics/design work imprinted on the CD/inserts in-house or have the CD duplication company's team of graphic designers develop a unique design for your product. If you are worried about inventory, barcodes can also be imprinted on your CD case or sleeve by the same company.
If you are looking for affordable CD duplication, look no further than the beautiful Windy City. Chicago has long been known for its jazz, gospel, and rhythm and blues roots. Now discover why so many musicians flock to Chicago when it's time to press their CD. Get your next project rolling today with affordable CD duplication from the heart of Chicago!
