"Great job, Bob!  The mastering is first rate.  I love the spacing between the songs - good flow and it keeps the music exciting. Balance from song to song is also excellent.  You do great work and really care about the music - you are an involved listener and technician.  In today's world that is a rare occurrence."  LARRY LEVY - The Histrioniks  CD TITLE:  CAMOUFLAGE BABY

"I appreciate your level of service, attention to detail, and your helpfulness in explaining the process and cutting through the hype I encountered on the web sites of other services I investigated.  A quality product was required and your excellent work has made it that.  I look forward to working with you on future projects."  Michael Faubion  CD TITLE:  TRAVELIN'

turn Around Time, test cd, and approval
Projects are normally completed within 7 to 10 business days.  You'll receive a test CD for approval upon completion.  The test CD gives you the option to approve the master, or Request Changes

after approval you'll receive the following
-  An Audio CDR replication master in a sealed packet to prevent disc contamination, or a DDP image file set (your choice).
-  A Reference Audio CDR for general playback.
-  Master track log (cue sheet) required by most replicators.
-  Liner notes indicating track times, etc.
-  Written documentation (if selecting an audio CDR master) that Guarantees the replication master is of the highest quality.

The Master & reference discs
The replication master and the reference CDR are both created from the same master file.  The reference CDR is for general playback, and for uploading your songs to a digital distribution service like iTunes, CD Baby, etc.  The reference CDR allows
the replication master to remain in pristine condition until the time of replication.
