Coaltergeist Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Is there a good website that anyone knows of where I can, say, upload my images and get printed CDs/Booklets/Jewel cases for a single album? There are a bunch of places like https://www.oasiscd.com/ that have an upload format, but they are super-unintuitive and are geared towards bands creating/selling their EPs. I'm just trying to create a proof-of-concept album: 4-disks, cover and back art. I made all of the artwork myself (thought that would be the hard part lol) and I would be willing to bet that such a place exists. I know that albums on OCR has dealt with physical CDs, anyone have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTiger Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 discmakers.com has a great short run service where you can make as few copies as you want. I did a 2-copy thing with them once. http://www.discmakers.com/products/short-run.asp djpretzel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djpretzel Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Let us know what you find! Moving this to music composition & production since it's pretty on-topic for that forum. Coaltergeist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaltergeist Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Yeah, I wasn't sure where to put it. Thanks, I'm filling out the templates rn, I guess I'll post here when the finished product arrives for a "review." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaltergeist Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 UPDATE: my order with Diskmakers fell through: their guidelines are extremely strict based on copyright. I was using pretty much only art that I had made, but I sourced some designs from existing artwork. I was only ordering one copy, so I figured that because I was not distributing the disks that the *slight* infringement didn't matter but they objected anyways. They seem like a great service but just keep that in mind (especially if you use some original game art in your ReMix album). I am now trying to work through a smaller company in Alaska that offers a similar service for slightly more (and without the same stipulations). Will post results here.

Cyril the Wolf Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 My go-to is "Kunaki" which does very nice short-run stuff. However if you're looking for a 4-CD set with a booklet you'd be out of luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTiger Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Interesting ... When I did mine several years ago all the songs were from other bands. I'm glad you found another company to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you use other bands' art? I don't think they check the audio, just the design aspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTiger Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 No, it was all custom art. That would make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaltergeist Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 UPDATE 2: Just got off the phone with Alaska Media (which apparently is located in Orlando, Florida); they do EXTREMELY cheap cd printing and ship to the entire US, but from what I've seen of the disks themselves, they look fantastic for the price. For the art booklet/inserts I am just going to go to a Kinko's or smt and print everything out on super-sexy cardstock. As for the jewel case, I also found the perfect one here, and they come in quantities of 10 for pretty cheap. It's looking to have turned out pretty well; Discmakers would have been easier (and probably cheaper in the long run), but I'm glad I found an alternative.
