you've never let a CD-R master go out the door unproofed. but not impossible.Īll that said, Murphy's law dictates (?) that if there's a problem with a disc, it'll probably be a 10,000+ pressing ! So to reduce the increased risk, I'll make/find time to real time proof. One does develop a certain confidence in the predictable outcome of your workflow, and chances that a glitch occurs during a burn, or that you've made a mistake during processing, and that the producer will press the disc without proofing are relatively slim. don't really see it as letting some folks "slide". So a Spot Check, Plextools Test, and a Promise that the Producer will Proof the disc before Pressing has to suffice. the session takes longer than expected, people are arriving and waiting for the next job. someone's gotta catch a flight, or a long drive, and take the master with them.Ĭ. it's well after midnight, everyone's tired, the producer wants to take the master.ī. That's how good relationships, repeat clients, and business longevity are built.Ĭertain instances arise where their simply isn't time for a real time proof at the end of the session. whether it's Willie Nelson or a college kid's first demo. And we treat all jobs with maximum amounts of care. whether it's an Indie short run or a major label job.
Of course, every job is really important. I thought I might get a "rise" out of someone with that post ! Sorry but I can't see how you can "make" time for some jobs and let some slide. I thought every project was "really important" irrespective of whether it's 1 or 1,000,000 pressings.
