Services Offered
We supply professionally duplicated CDs and DVDs together with full colour direct-to-disc thermal and inkjet printing, digital or litho printed paper parts and numerous packaging options including short run digipacks and printed card wallets. Larger runs are by replication/glassmastered process.
Audio Mastering
Mastering audio is a highly specialised skill and we have many years of experience. Our services range from simple compiling of tracks and PQ encoding/tracking, to digital editing, equalisation, balancing, compression and level maximizing etc. We charge a flat rate of £40 per hour charged by the half hour. Masters should be supplied on CDR. Mastering is unattended but an approval disc can be requested once payment has been received.
