Master Guidelines

Please follow these steps when burning a Red Book Audio CD master.
  1. Clean the CD-R drive. Run a lens cleaner through your drive.
  2. Use high-density media (CD-Rs). Recommended brands are Apogee, HHB, Mitsui, Maxell, and Taiyo Yuden.
  3. Burn speed should be approx. 15-30% of the drive's maximum capacity. For a 52x burner, the optimal burn speed would be from 12-16x.
  4. Burn your master disk using DISK-AT-ONCE, not track-at-once.
  5. Mail in the master enclosed in a CD Envelope, NOT a Jewel case.
