Posted: **Fri Jan 07, 2005 4:04 pm**

Yep i can duplicate cd's at work....i have a robotic duplicator load 50 cd's and then walk away, also prints as well...

But unfortuantlly my boss prob wont donate cd's or ink for the printing, but if we all chip in would only be about 50 - 70c a cd?

Just give me the go ahead all i need is a master version of the compiled cd, artwork and a deadline...

EZ

Posted: **Fri Jan 07, 2005 4:13 pm**

Mastering is happening over the weekend (to my knowledge).

An mockup of the artwork has already been completed.

BRB has a better idea of the deadline.

JB Hi-Fi has a really good deal at the moment for blank CD's with the white face (for printing on)

worst case scenario is we'll buy 200 of those and get a few peeps to help burn 'em

hopefully this won't be necessary

We sell blank/white printable CD's at work ill ask the boss if he wnts to donate some, if not I'm more than happy to purchase some, just come in and ill hand em ova

Posted: **Fri Jan 07, 2005 9:04 pm**

AGhhh!!!

Was just about to upload a track...
FTP down ?!?!?

Posted: **Fri Jan 07, 2005 11:26 pm**

Sorry BRB - had a f^#k of a day at work and completely slipped my mind about dropping ya off a CD. I can drop it off before I have to go in and help out Worl Vsison with their call centre stuff for this big benefit gig they have on tomorrow (Saturday) nite. I can pop round between 2 and 4. Let me know if you still need it so I can call ya and drop it (da MC Wasp tune) round. I gotta get some sleep now anyway. I'll check the board round midday and give ya a call if still needed.

Any news on what tracks are on the CD?

Not necessary at all...just holla and i said i'll do it...

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 10:10 am**

o.k, I have a comany willing to do about 200 CD's, but cost and time constraints mean we can only do a black & white (rimage) print on the face.

I also said that we'd add their logo and that the CD's were generously supplied by....

David, I'll shoot you an email about this shortly.

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 10:12 am**

Awesome work BRB!

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 10:12 am**

nice work brb... 200 is better then 0! Another possible $2000 to be raised...

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 10:18 am**

Yep. We could always take orders for extra CDs if needs be.

Next issue, getting the thing compiled and mastered. BRB, is Mangan still cool to do this?

When do the duplicators need the final master?

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 10:31 am**

200 from this company and I still have another 2 up my sleeve, waiting for a response. We can definately take orders for more, if people are willing to pay a deposit we don't have to rely on freebies and can get some duped straight after the party.

Mangan is still gonna put it together. He can have it done pretty quickly.

I told them I'd have the Master to them tomorrow and they said that will be fine.

still holding my breath for tracks from NuBreed (or a Dirty Fours track) and EK. I'll hold out till this arvo and then press the big green GO button.

I still think Lynt should give us one of his tracks

I thought u guys were buying blank cd's?

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 10:43 am**

only if we couldn't get a company to donate them

it was a Plan B.

Thanks heaps for the offer though. It woulda saved the day

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 10:51 am**

colour labels would look the tits tho...

WERD

Yo BRB can i get a master copy and artwork? I'll run up 50 colour ones, i'll pay for em...

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 10:58 am**

yes, they would look the tits

I'm sending him the colour mock up of the CD face and hopefully he'll see what he can do

otherwise, we can get Fents to do them or I just got a quote from AAV Regency (Australia's largest duplicator).......500 full colour CD's for $225 (or 45c each)

AAV Regency do CD's for all the major labels, so their work would be A1

so, it's FREE black & white CD's or we pitch in and rustle up $225

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 10:59 am**

Colour all the way, i'll start the pledge at $30.

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 11:08 am**

Got any info on what cases will be supplied from each duplicator?

Jewel? Plastic sleeve?

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 11:15 am**

Jewel cases are an extra 40c. not worth it IMO

I'll find out about plastic sleeves.

can anyone get cases for Free??

(I'll also chip in some $$$ for the colour ones)

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 11:50 am**

pitch in! pitch in!

you got $30 from me on the night if we go with aav. reckon it'd be much better to have full colour for the punters.

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 11:54 am**

the plastic sleeves are an extra 15c, which brings the total to $300

I think we can raise that between us

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 11:58 am**

just ask everyone else who's getting a track on it. get $300 easy.

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 11:58 am**

I'll pitch in some $$, I haven't got a lot.. but will see what I can do. Maybe $20...

Well done Glen !!!!!! As for one of mine, its tempting, but we want the CD to be memorable, not a coaster.

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 12:30 pm**

get those slim line ones ... with the black plastic back ... look suave.

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 12:31 pm**

they're too expensive, just going with the simple plastic sleeve that the CD is inserted into

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 12:43 pm**

cool - we did those for the soulaar/40hz cd's and they're good

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 1:33 pm**

EK has now donated a track for the CD

I just realised, I have about 100 brand new empty DVD cases. We could do a Special Edition CD (the only difference being the cover it's held in.

just a thought

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 1:39 pm**

and how much will this special edition cd be?

$70 i think is fair. as fair as justice...

Easy ... all we need is 10 people to pledge $30 ...
count me in...

Posted: **Mon Jan 10, 2005 1:51 pm**

any word as to what the tracklisting on the CD is going to be yet?
