Question.... (American, quote)

SD told me this,

Quote:

Labels use manufacturers. The euqipment needed to press proper CDs and vinyl is huge and incredibly expensive so all labels employ manufacturing companies to do it for them.

we use a company called Icon Omnimedia (www.builtbyicon.com) who also do all Robotic Empire releases and loads of others.

we tell them exactly what we want.. the package and the pressing size.. post them the master CD, upload high-definition artwork, sign the forms allowing them to do the pressing (something called an IPR form)... pay them, and the CDs arrive completely shrinkwrapped and everything a few weeks later.

after that we stick barcordes onto the back of the shrinkwrap and they're sent to our distributor, ready for the shops.

anyone can get CDs pressed... as long as they have the rights. There are also companies that do smaller pressings and some that will do pressings of CD-Rs (cheaper but unprofessional for a label).

vinyl works in the same way.. we're going to use SFH (www.fshuk.net) to do our vinyl releases.

I always thought labels pressed everything themselves, the major ones probably do. I was just curious because I've been seriously considering starting a label when I get out of high school and it's nice to know I don't have to invest in a presser.

If your referring to skindredluver, then this member was banned temporarily, following a discussion between moderators.

The ban was for a variety of reasons.

MoonlitSunshine · 12-04-2006, 04:55 PM

yeah, like the fact that I never saw him post something of substance...

anyway.... Question... ummmmm

Given the choice, who do you go after; the really hard to get to but probably amazing girl who has that irresistibility that everything you can't have has, or the kickass friend who you know is amazing, but you're not sure if she likes you and you don't want to screw up one of your best friendships? This has been pissing me off, And Although I feel I know the answer I felt I needed to post a question.

Do ignore this post
