 CD Replication: An Affordable Way to Get Your Voice Heard


If you have ever considered releasing your music on a physical medium, CD replication may be the best option for you. In this post, we will cover everything you need to know about CD replication; the benefits it has over other forms of distribution, how much it costs and what companies provide that service. We hope that this information will help you in deciding if this is the right choice for your next release or not.
What is CD replication?
To make a CD, a company called a "copier" uses programs that are designed to recognize the music of your choice and then it scans through your music file and creates copy after copy on blank CDs. These CDs are then sent to the customer and they can order as many copies as they want. There are many companies that offer CD replication services including CD Baby, Sixsteps, U-Cover, CD-Wrecker, CD-Archive. The list goes on...
Advantages of CD replication over other forms of distribution
You won't have to give away free stuff to keep people coming back each week.
If you get a good amount of sales, your fans will have a physical copy of your CDs that they can hold and use as a collector's item if necessary.
There are several benefits to CD replication for independent artists and labels.
You can create as many copies of your CDs as you like which is an amazing feeling for many artist. You can also sell these to people who already have an interest in your music or those who would be interested in listening to it because they know the lyrics or heard the song on the radio.
How much does it cost? It depends completely on how much you want to make and where you are located on how much it costs.
We are going to break down the cost per unit for an artist in Los Angeles, California. We will say this artist has 1,000 CDs to make. You will pay a setup fee which is usually a couple hundred dollars and then multiply that by how many you need to make (1000 in this example). If you want the highest quality CDs then the price per record is $1 which makes the total amount $1,000. The rest of the money you have to pay goes towards packaging and profits for the company who provided you with their service.
What do you do if your music isn't recognized? If the program can't recognize your music, then you will have to go through a process of creating your own CD with the correct file. That is another thing that takes a lot of time so make sure you have the financial resources to be able to invest in this process.
What are three ways to get your CDs out there?
There are three main ways here on how you can get your CDs out there.
You can set up a website and sell them yourself through Amazon or iTunes. This would be the most common way for people to buy them because they are easier than ordering from an individual store or from an online distributor such as CD Baby .
You can also go through a distributor such as CD Baby, Sixsteps or U-Cover and use their built in sales infrastructure to sell your music. This is an easy way because you don't have to do any of the work yourself. They usually take 30% but if you have a lot of money to put in this investment, then this could be a great way for you to get started.
If none of the above options are right for you, try getting with friends who want to buy your music or go through a venue and try setting up a deal with them where they will sell the CDs that they receive from you.
This isn't for everyone but if you are an artist that does have a large amount of time and money to put into marketing your music, then this could be a great way for you to get started. Be sure to contact different companies and figure out which one works the best for you. We hope this was useful information for you!
