Stupid question time. We haven't looked into CD production in a year. What is the going rate for mastering a dual format disk, and per unit costs for say 1000 units?

Mike: I think still a "make your best deal" kind of a thing, but a master will probably cost $1200-1500 and something between $1.50-$2.50 per disc. the cost of preparing the dual format is in the premastering and that will vary with the kind of data, real requirements and so on. If you are looking for a list of mastering houses, check the file called MFG.TXT in Library #8 her in the Forum. Hope this helps – Rich Bowers

Rich, See if you can get the new CDVEN into what's new on CIS too. I just read about 3 new forums this morning under what's NEW on CIS.

Thanks for the info Rich. The prices seem the same as before. I'll grab that file and check it out. Cheers, Michael @ Soft-Logik Publishing Corp.

I'm working on a CD for the Amiga-Mac-PC, too. I know I've met other people from Soft-Logik before, but not you, so let me introduce myself and my company. Syndesis makes InterChange Plus for the Amiga, a system of translators for 3D file formats like LightWave, DXF, Wavefront, etc. We're working on a CDROM called the "Syndesis 3D-ROM". It's a collection of more than 500 public domain 3D models we've converted to several formats. Talk to Katherine Cochrane 71216,1271. She runs a one-off shop and quoted about $250 for a one-off, then $1300 or so for 100 discs. If you'd like to talk about Amiga CD production, I'd love to talk to you! There's another opportunity brewing, too. Syndesis makes the built-in translators for the Video Toaster. We're contemplating adding an Adobe Illustrator loader for people who need a better way to load logos, etc. into the Toaster for rendering in LightWave. I'd like to talk about Art Expression, too.
