hi! I'm just wondering this because our tiny experimental label has released couple cdr-releases and right now I'm wondering about continuing with the cdr-format or moving into cd's... so... have you ever purchased cdr-releases ? if yes... where and how much you paid for it ? were you satisfied with the quality (music, product) ? if no... why not ? and additional question... how much it matters if the cdr-release is for sale on on-line vs. off-line (casual record-store) shop ? thanks in advance. - jukkis - luumurecordings.com |

if you think you can afford it, move on to pressed cd's. |

www.diskmakers.com this is who i do business with. |

I've never paid for CD-rs (although I suppose AFX's 2 remixes is pretty close), but I know my local record store does them by local bands. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont really care, as long as the music is cool... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would rather purchase a "real" cd, or I would be VERY critical about the price of the cd-r - it should be VERY low.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
qrter : price... how low ? 6$ (+shipping) ? or 3$ (+shipping) ? shipping is appx. 1-2$ atleast while delivered from where I live (Finland). I know that atleast itchwack(?).com are selling their cdr-releases for 3$ per copy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd pay $3-6 for a cd-r if I liked the music. |
||||||||
|

tibbar : thanks from the link. their service looks interesting... atleast there's lot of options for packaging the cd's. while comparing bulk-prices (1000 copies) to some other companies I've found... they are maybe bit high. I've found bulk-prices which goes around 600$ for 1000 copies... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
CDrs I've seen tend to be about £2-£4, Even for eps/albums... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the prices may be high, but it's QUALITY work, trust me. another option is tapecomplex. dont know their addy, but look it up in google. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tibbar : ok, thanks! :=) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

tapecomplex is prolly more in your price-range than diskmakers. a little less expensive, still really good work though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I probably wouldn't pay $6. $4 tops. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
simply because production costs can't be that high. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually production costs per copy on cdr's are surprisingly high... they are much more than per copy price with cd's. if you have printed labels on cdr's the production costs is appx. 2$ per copy. duplicated cdr's cost over 2$ per copy (atleast here in Finland, at US/UK production costs can be bit cheaper). |

|
tibbar : thanks again. :=) btw. if you're interested... check http://diy.luumu.biz , I've collected there quite a lot 'un-sorted' information about manufacturing cd/cdr's... links to radio-stations, labels, shops etc. etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
qrter : addition... of course production prices on cd vs. cdr can't be compared directly because usually cd's are pressed +500 copies, while cdr's are duplicated 300 copies or less... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyone who has responded to this thread : thanks! :=) this is really valuable info for me. :) |

Ihokas: As I said at Watmm, put some effort in the coverart! |

3 euros or dolars are a good prize |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mortsto-x : with previous releases (specially OVO) we have already done it. :=) the label printing is bit problematic, because that part usually raises production costs. |
