Austin is a creative town full of musicians, writers, and software companies that all need CD duplication in Austin.
The difference between duplication and replication can best be understood if you know how many you need. For instance, 100 copies would best be handled by duplication. That is, to take an existing blank disc and burn the content from the master to the blank. This is what we do at home on our computers.
Now if you needed 1000 then replication is the best option. To duplicate 1000 blank discs is just too labor intensive even with automated duplicators. The only cost effective way is to make a glass master and press out discs. This is not something you can do at home. You will need to work with a company that can provide this for you.
You may have noticed there is a lot of room between 100 and 1000. Is there a point where duplication and replication costs meet?
Yes, there is and it does vary but generally speaking once you get over 300 duplicated CDs, you are coming to the costs to replicate. What this generates is a “no-man’s land” between 300 – 1000 where its just going to be based on factors other than price as to which method is best for you.
Duplication can require only a copy of days while replication requires 7 – 10 business days due to all the work that has to be done before the first disc can be pressed.
For any questions about which method is best for your particular needs, call CDmaker at 512-388-1998 or 800-678-1998.
