CD Mastering and Editing

Mastering for CD is an art taught by experience. At Duplication Specialists, Inc. we have mastered thousands of projects over the last 21 years and we really have this art down to a science.
Our technicians use the latest digital tools from APOGEE, LUCID, Z-SYSTEMS and SONIC SOLUTIONS for expert sample rate and A/D conversion. They also still rely on the ultimate audio tool: human ears!
Has your engineer lost his perspective after 4 months in the studio with your music? We will provide a set of fresh ears for intra-song adjustments. By confidently using track IDs, fades, equalization and volume optimization we make your audio smooth and listenable as well as clear and powerful.
Seminars and lectures can be distilled, refined and enhanced. Different speakers can be level-adjusted, inappropriate content, coughs, pauses,

as well as hecklers can be removed. Applause and theme music can be added. Let us create and integrate post-narration voice-over and cue embellishments to finish your project.

Podcast are confidently mastered with weblinks and embedded video elements, such as graphics, still pictures and full-motion video. Podcast don't have to be just sound anymore!

CD Replication Master

We deliver on Gold Disc 1X PQ CD or DDP masters, so as to preserve all of the mastering at the absolute highest and portable quality, after all creative work and proofings are completed and accepted.
Being suppliers of masters for replication facilities worldwide we interface with your pressing plant to ensure that they get a reliable, approved master to both your and their specifications. We are available to interface with your pressing plant to eliminate any impediments to the process of pressing.
Replication vs. Duplication Replicated discs are generally considered more reliable and durable than duplicated discs. In the former, the pits representing your data are actually formed through injection molding from a glass master. In the latter, they are simulated or "burned" using dyes.

At Duplication Specialists we're constantly looking for and use the latest, most reliable burner/disc combination to make our CD copies the most compatible & reliable in the industry. We also offer professional replication of CDs, CD-ROMs and DVDs. These discs, made from a glass master and then injection molded, are preferred by some of our clients.

Duplication Specialists, Inc. offers short-run/quick turnaround CD copies with no minimum quantity. We stand out with our extremely quick turn-around time and high quality by copying from CD masters to Mini CD, Business card CD, or Full-size CD with the latest and best burner/CD combinations.
