masters

When it comes to submitting your masters for your DVD or CD duplication project there are two ways to go about it – uploading and sending through the post.

We strongly recommend that you submit your master by post. Why? It’s your master, you’ve checked it and when we receive it we produce identical copies of what you have sent us.

We don’t process the material (we check that it is a suitable master for duplication of course) but we don’t load it into a computer and then create your duplicated discs from that, we use the physical disc that you send us.

We do however accept masters via digital transfer usually for extremely tight deadline jobs, and often for data only projects such as CD-Roms. If you do wish to upload rather than send, give us a call and we’ll talk through the best way to proceed.

There are a couple of things worth remembering when creating your master and as always if you’re in any doubt just call – we’re quite friendly and helpful!

audio

Before submitting your master carefully listen all the way through, checking that you are happy with the levels, that the tracks are in the right order and that there is a gap between each track (unless you specifically want it otherwise).

Use a high quality CD-R and when burning your master and use the slowest speed possible, preferably x4 speed. You should find the setting for this in your burning software.

DVD

The same rules apply for DVD duplication. Please use as high a quality DVD master burned as slowly as possible. Check your master all the way through to make sure everything is in order including menu links etc.
