About to send project to master/replication
I was told not to place the songs on a cd as track 1 -15 but as 1 long track, is this correct, because some tracks I want to X-fade. The same place that master the cd will be replicating it. Is there a major differece between replication and duplication? |

Re: About to send project to master/replication
You say in the post title master/replication, which is it?
IF you are sending for mastering, check what formats your matering house accepts, most likely they will acept 24 bit protools sesions. Send them a CD of your mixes as DATA files in Protools. If you are sending off a mastered CD for duplication, again check the formats they accept, but what you want to send them is a redbook CD, 16bit 44.1k. The CD should be EXACTLY as you want it to be, including track gaps, index points, fade in/outs, levels, song order, etc. do not send as one long song, otherwise your CD's will have one track. Replication and duplication are synonymous terms. Mastering is an entirely different subject. |

Re: About to send project to master/replication
Hi there MR808,
Replication= your CDR (must be in it's final, intended form)is encoded to an image, which is then used to create a glass master. After electroforming/galvanics they arrive at a stamper. This piece is used in injection molding to replicate up to 20-30.000 final CDs. A new stamper is created for additional production runs. This is the standard, professional and cheaper way ( in larger quantities )of manufacturing optical media. Duplication= simply put...your original source master> your CDR (must be in it's final, intended form)< is burned to any number of new CDRs. Just like you'd do it @ home..but differing degree of quality controll is employed. X-fade between tracks has nothing to do with numbering the CD tracks. However, a capable master editor should be used to create the final CDR ( Wavelab ?? ) hope this helps... cheers,
