About Duplication

We have seen bad cds copied and sold on sidewalks, and from most of our competitors.

These competitors actually believe that is good business to offer a cheap CD-R at a ridiculous prices.

If DVD-R's are burned at 4X speed, why would you want somebody to burn your audio cds at a higher speed?

Inside your computer you can burn cds at high speed rates without much loss of audio data content. But doing it at a massive level is a complete different game.

That is to say, burning 1 at a time is not the same as burning 7 or 10 at a time.

Here are some facts:
Our competitors use machines (5, 7 or 10 drive units) that were primarily designed for fast duplication of ROM DATA.

Since CD-Rs are an off-shoot of the CD-ROM technology (CDDA), they use the same speeds to make audio cd-r's.

The speeds we are talking about are over 16X or sixteen times the real time speed (1X).

Sales people from companies that manufacture these duplicating systems (not their technicians who know better) don't even realize or care to find out that these machines primary function is the transfer of ROM -data.

They use these new high transfer speeds as a sales pitch, promising the duplication house owner more productivity.

Some machines are capable of duplicating between 16X - 32X speeds, and the rate keeps going up. Hence the proliferation of badly made audio cd-r's.

Bottom line, if a CD-R is burned slowly, the audio content will be the most accurate to the original source and most likely glitch free.

Safe duplicating speeds are 1X, 2X & 4X.
