recording choirs, recording a choir

The final piece in recording a choir CD is the duplication. There are two types of CD duplication available depending on the number of CDs in the run. Commercially CDs are duplicated in blocks of 500 and these are produced by stamping duplicates from a Glass Master. For smaller runs than 500, some companies have banks of CD writers and individual blank discs are burned in the same way that you burn a CD on your computer.With this method you can have as few as 10 CDs but this is obviously more labour intensive and so the price for individual discs is higher. However in recent years CD prices have tumbled and really if you are considering a run of anything over 200 you can probably get a commercial run of 500 for the same price. And remember all commercial runs have full colour artwork and can come cellophane wrapped for the final professional touch
