CD Duplication and layout design reccomendations?[views:1486][posts:5]________________________________ [Mar 13,2007 8:39am - xmikex ""] So my band is poised to go back into the studio to record another demo. Can anyone reccomend a place around here to get CDs duplicated? And can anyone reccomend someone for layout design? (Obviously not Wonderdrug). We're not looking for anything fancy, at the most maybe a 4 panel insert. Something low key but semi professional looking (if you have a copy of the current BBA demo you'd realize how pretty much anything would be a step up for us) |

Seems like he does some pretty good work. Also check out aetherdesign.com. He did the In Dire Need stuff for me. Cool guy and good rates. For duplication I'd try superdups. They treated me well the few times I dealt with them. Great finished product too. Where are you guys going to record? |
