Big Heavy C
This is a step-by-step process on getting your music on a professional CD such as you would buy in a store. This includes a full color booklet also. Many musicians spend thousands of dollars and sometimes that is a good thing but if you are on a budget or have lack of funds sometimes maybe one CD at a time or small bulks of CD's would be a better solution. This article will help you achieve the steps needed to do just that.

Things Needed:

1. Finished music saved in .wav or .mp3 file format & on CD or on your computer.
Make sure you save them as high quality CD format so your CD sounds great when made!

2. Artwork for Booklet & CD
You will need to add these to custom templates described in the lower instructions.

3. Sale Price of CD you are about to produce, You have the option of selling your CD free on this site that I describe in the article.

4. You are the owner of all Copyrighted Material of the Music & Artwork. Or you have the correct permission to use any materials that you are using for your CD.

Instructions:

1. Sign up for accounts at CafePress.com click Here
If you already have an account proceed to the next steps.

3. Use a graphic program to install the artwork you have within the lines of the Templates.

5. Upload your final graphics made from the templates to CafePress.

6. Create new produce Audio CD and follow the step by step process

7. Once done you will be able to purchase your CD or sell it from there website!

Recommendations:
I highly recommend you take full advantage of this website they offer much more than just professional CD's, You can create many products free of charge then buy them in bulk or sell them to fan's such as t-shirts, mugs, or hat's and much more.

Many Music Artist's use them strictly for all merchandise for their music. You get commission if you sell anything over there base price! Therefore, it is a win, win situation! How can you lose if they are doing all the manufacturing and selling it to you for a base price or even discounted if you buy in bulk.

I hope this article has been helpful to you take care & God Bless & Keep the music alive my friend.

Much Luck in the music industry. If this will helpful, please leave me a comment letting me know thanks again.
