Preparing Your Audio Master

IAMD offering you CD and DVD Duplication, Replication and audio mastering services


	Preparing your master for duplication / replication

If you are submitting a CD-ROM, Mixed-Media, or Enhanced CD-ROM, please make sure all of the content is exactly the way you want it. Also confirm that all of the links and menu items work and access the correct resources. We do not perform any checks on CD-ROM masters and will duplicate exactly what you send us.

If you are submitting a music or audio master, it must be mixed to either one track mono or two-track stereo, edited, and sequenced. Please make sure it sounds exactly like you want it to sound with all the songs in the correct order and the desired amount of spacing between songs. If you plan to have IAMD master your product, please be sure to decuss your mastering needs with your IAMD product specialit when placing your order.

All submissions should be on standard CD-R media, 1/4 inch analog 2 track or 4 track tape, DAT cartridge, standard cassette, or Sony Mini-Disk. If you have your master on media other than those listed, contact us to see if we can assist in the transfer to a suitable format. If you submit your final duplication master on any media other than a CD, however, there will be a charge for conversion to a final duplication master CD. This additional mastering step will be charged at the lesser of $75.00 per hour or the nearest priced mastering package (i.e. Gold or Silver mastering). Please note that we cannot accept any master for duplication that has been prepared on CD-RW media (re-writable CD media).

A great performance… a killer mix… and we’re off to our next mega-hit. Wait a minute, one of the most important steps in getting a radio-quality major-label sound is the final mastering and IAMD is the place to go. You need high-quality mastering if you want to compete with the major label guys. At IAMD, we treat your product like it is going to be the next No.1 hit on Billboard (because it just might be). We believe mastering is more than placing your songs in the proper order, adjusting the space between each song, and matching the relative volume and tone of each song. Sure, this is part of the process, but we go much farther by striving to increase the clarity and definition of your music and to put the finishing touches on a great performance. Regardless of whether your mastering needs are simple or complex, IAMD can bring that extra “something” to your project to make it sparkle! One thing to remember though, mastering can make a good mix great and a great mix even greater. It cannot make a bad mix or a bad performance good. Get the performance on tape, get a great mix, and we’ll do the rest. Click here to find the IAMD package best suited for you
