I want to burn a disc for CD duplication. What’s the best way?
1) Always use a high-quality media brand to record your master. We recommend MAM-A Gold, Apogee Gold, and Mitsubishi Green Tune. Do not use CD-RW (rewritable) or bargain-priced discs. Check to make sure that your master is free of dirt and fingerprints. 2) Use a high quality stand-alone CD burner. Though most home computers come equipped with CD burners, their quality can vary greatly. To get the best quality master, we recommend looking into some of the better burners such as Plextor, LaCie and Yamaha. Keep your burner in a clean environment. Dust and debris can mask the writing laser and cause permanent defects in the CD master. 3) Use a good CD burning program such as Toast or Jam for the Mac or Nero for the PC. Higher end programs include Wave Burner or Peak. Note that you CANNOT use iTunes to burn a red book audio CD. 4) Make sure your master is being generated from files located locally – not from a network, CD-ROM or hard drive.
