burning redbook standard cds

grockle [Edit] [Delete] 12 replies 22:08, 11 July '07

Anyone know an easy way to do this? Stupidity and not knowing this information is holding up my seven inch label...so near yet so far...

  • I know burning vinyl

    stinks to high heaven. I burned the second Van Halen record when I was a kid and my mum still hasn't forgiven me.

    no, we are gonna burn promos ourselves...for some reason the pressing plant is asking for the cd master to be redbook standard, and its kinda unclear what that actually is or how to make sure what we have IS one...

      that's who we are using! Did you just burn the cd off computer using itunes or something? Standard audio cd?

        cool...maybe we should just send it and see what happens. I can't see how it couldn't work.

        we are doing two hundred, but getting six hundred company sleeves printed...then planning to do another two runs of two hundred different singles. Hope that works out okay! ;)

        • I googled and found this

          If you are going to make a CD for commercial release you will need a master CD with PQ codes, and one that adheres to the Red Book standard. Burning a master usable for duplication requires high grade media with very low BLER rates (error rates). I only use Taiyo Yuden Grade A media.

          Dunno if thats of any use

            Thanks, but I've looked at lots of links, found several threads on geek forums, but I'm still not sure how to find out whether thats what we've got.

            The band have given us a two track cd that plays in every player we've tried, that has one track as a wav and one as an aiff...

        • I think any cd

          with the compact disc standard is red book, I think it would be harder to burn one that isn't as I think it is just what a normal cd is, could be wrong though
