Once you understand the differences between CD replication and CD duplication, you will immediately know which process you need. When you are having your project professionally created, your final decision will depend on three concepts: how many new CDs you need to make, how long you are willing to wait for them, and what level of sound quality you require.
If you want to make a lot of a particular CD at one time, then CD replication will offer you a high-quality process. This method will be done by a professional manufacturing facility. With this technique, a mold is made for each run of discs. A high volume of CDs are produced at one time by an injection molding process using the mold. This technique is recommended for quantities over 1,000 discs.
A CD master that is made for use in replication is unique. The original music is put through special recording equipment. This equipment places positive image of the music onto the surface of the disc, which is typically created in gold, silver or glass. Once the music is imprinted on the surface of choice, copies are created through special stamping equipment that makes negative images of the CDs off the positive version. Injection molds are then created to make the positive end results.
CD replication turns out an extremely good quality of music. Injection molds can make a high volume of duplicates that are also covered with an aluminum film and some lacquer for protection. These also go through a hardening process under an UV light before they are ready to use.
Now, for a less complex procedure you may be able to use the CD duplication technique if you need less than three to five hundred copies. With this technique, a disc drive in a computer transfers the desired sound from the original CD. The recorded sound then is burned (transferred) onto a special type of CD to make an exact replica.
For this process, you may choose from three types of blank CDs. Older computers and stereo systems will only recognize CD-Rs as readable discs. Modern systems, including car stereos and DVD players, are capable of reading both CD-Rs and CD+Rs. Choose between the minus and plus as is applicable for your intended audience. CD-RWs mean that the CD is capable of being recorded over. Once the recording is made, it can be removed and replaced like an old VHS tape.
Occasionally, the duplication process will uncover a blank CD that was not properly created. These CDs will fail to record information at all on them. They will still be registered as blank when finished.
The process you select will determine the type of end product you will receive. Even though the CD replication process produces a higher-quality product, the cost is often too expensive. The fact that the CD duplication process is not as complex is great, but the quality is not quite as high as the replication process gives you. Think about this information as you try to select which technique to use to make the CDs you need. Plan ahead whichever process you choose.
