How Can I Transfer My Home Piano Recital Recording to Multiple CDs? by Martin Cohn
As someone who may wish to record your piano recital music to a CD at home, or at your venue of choice, you will find you have a number of options available to you.
For the purposes of this article, I will assume that you have already taken care of your recording equipment, and already have the recording either as a prepared CD or at least, in MP3 or WAV format. These are the two most common formats for storing audio that has been recorded.
Once you have the recording files ready, meaning they have been edited, and mixed the way you like the final sound to be, you are ready to commence the production of your CDs.
Before you think I am going to suggest you start to copy CD after CD at home, let me tell you that you can relax. There are online services available that allow you to upload your CD to their facility, and once there, you an order CDs at your leisure, from one, to essentially, any number you choose. The greatest benefit of these facilities is that you need not spend copious mounts of time copying CDs at home, which from personal experience can take hours and hours. In addition, you will find that you do not need to ware out your CD burner as well.
This process is only viable if you are expecting to make more than a few CDs, but assuming that is the case, your next step is to create the artwork for your CD cover as well as CD print. I have found the best software for this is Paint, which is available with most Windows based computers using Microsoft. My method involves taking the image I like best, sometimes available from photo stocks online, available for a very reasonable price like a dollar or two (but please read the licence agreements carefully). Once you have chosen your ideal photo, and loaded it onto your computer, import that photo into your Paint program. I always advise using a photo with some ‘unused’ space, where you can superimpose some text of your own, to create the title and so on. This is the reason I like Paint, as this can be done quite easily. Once I am happy with my completed photo and title, I then save the image.
Now to the actual uploading of your CD to a commercial facility that is fully automated. I have found one of the best services is that of Kunaki.com. They provide a service where you can download their software for free, which then guides you through creating an account, and then uploading your CD and images you have created. For this to work, you need to ensure you have software on your computer than can produce a final CD, and once you have that, you then upload that, as well as the images and other information you may like, like copyright details, and recording information. You are even able to have the system create an internationally recognised bar code for your product.
As a side note, please note that I do not have any connection with the service I am mentioning above. I simply recommend and use their service, because it works, and has never failed me before. Once your CD is uploaded, you are then able to log in, and order as many as you like, for a very nominal price, and the CD will be delivered to any address in the world, in a box, shrink wrapped, and professional looking. This method allows you to not have to hold stocks, or worry about running out, if you should be fortunate enough to have a massive demand for your product.
I would always recommend that you ensure that you test your uploaded CD yourself, by ordering one for yourself, as I have been caught out before, where I once had a spelling error, and had not noticed it online, but only after I had ordered about seventy discs. That is a mistake I prefer you to not make yourself.
