CD Manufacturing Q & A with Music Manufacturing Services (InfoFAQ)

"Back in 1988 when I started MUSIC MANUFACTURING SERVICES, the music industry had a whole different set of issues to deal with than it has today."

What is CD Manufacturing?

CD Manufacturing is the process by which commercial CDs are replicated in mass quantities using a master version created from a source recording.

How good is the quality of the CDs?

Whether you are ordering an enhanced CD, shape CD or business card CD, or a simple audio CD, Music Manufacturing Services always provides high-quality CDs.

Can I use graphics on my CDs?

Of course. The customer’s job is to make good music. Our job is to help turn that music into a final product. To do this, we will need artwork for the packaging and for the disc. At Music Manufacturing Services, customers can choose to work with our team of award-winning graphic designers or supply their own artwork. If a customer supplies their own artwork, we'll check the files or film to make sure that it meets industry specifications. To make sure the customer’s project has every chance for success, we provide our exclusive Electronic Artwork Submission and Inspection (EASI) service. Customers can upload their electronic art files directly to our Design Department, and then view and signoff on projects online before it goes to press.

What is a “Dual Disc”?

A Dual Disc has both a CD side and a DVD side. It is two discs in one. This is a great option as a client can include videos, special footage, photo galleries, web links…anything they want. It’s a perfect way to utilize multiple platforms.

What is an Enhanced CD?

With an enhanced CD, you can add extras like text, logo, pictures, website links, credits, video clips, or even home movies, to your audio CD. When that CD is played on a computer, the listener gets a whole lot more than just music.

What shapes are available?

Music Manufacturing Services can provide you with a CD or CD-ROM in any shape you want, printed in up to five colors. Because a disc plays from the center out, in many cases there is space around the outer edge of the disc that isn't being used. We can cut it away, to make your disc in a shape that will leave a lasting impression!

What about a small mini-CD or a business card CD?

Music Manufacturing Services can put your CD or CD-ROM on a small, but powerful business-card sized disc. Whether it's a promotional track or a full informational brochure, your piece will be noticed and played, plus you can include a link to your website for increased traffic. For the Canadian market, we provide a 3-inch mini CD look that works in a car or any CD playback system. This ‘Fan CD’ holds up to 24 minutes audio or 210 MB of data and makes a great marketing tool.

What is involved in manufacturing a blank CD?
If a customer wants to produce their own short run of CDs, CD-ROMs or DVDs using a home burner, Music Manufacturing Services can silk screen a pile of CD-Rs with your own design. Choose a design created by your own graphic designer or something by our in-house design team.
