It's a good idea! 👍 Here's another reason, back in the late 90s, a friend's band released a CD. A couple of years ago, I bought it for a dollar at an Op-Shop! So that band, short lived as it was, lives on in my music collection! 🙂 My band recorded earlier, so we had to release cassettes, as burning your own CDs wasn't an option back then. One day, about 5 or 6 years ago, I got in the car, tuned to the independent radio station, and one of our songs was playing! A DJ had gone through the archives looking for old, unknown music for his show, found our tape, and played Smokin' Lightning! I couldn't believe it, I don't even have a copy!
That's awesome!!! Yeah, my first original band was making demos in an 8 track studio back in 84, and it was mixed down to cassette. I do still have copies, but they're like 3rd generation. Today's newbies don't know how great they have it!
Neat! Short of me being confused at the freeze frame 0:03 - 0:43 this was probably one of the best tutorials i have seen on this. The music tip of having the silence so it can catch up is neat too!
@@drakocapone2741 The minimum order for CDs from Disk Makers used to be 20. So you could get them to make 20 copies of your CD (burning, printing, shrinkwrapping.). He's saying that the minimum order is now 100, which I believe. The rich guys who own businesses need to make as much money as possible. That's why I burn my own!
I has the same issue a few month ago, i was trying to set up the printer from the pc, then my bro suggest doing it from the printer screen menu and i did work right away. Good luck
Leaving a comment to get you in the algorithm, however I do have a question. I don't like streaming services, and I want to convert my RUclips music playlist to physical disks. Can I do this like that? I do not plan on selling or distributing them! I only want them to play my music in my car.
Yes, it is possible. There are programs you can download that will let you capture the audio from any RUclips video in aiff or wav format. Once you have the files, you'd burn the CD. From a copyright standpoint, this is probably not OK, which is why I won't name the specific programs, but if you Google "capture audio from RUclips videos" you'll find them OK. They won't be super high quality audio, but it will work.
Is it possible to burn a CD at home and have a correct information (metadata) attached to the recording? I tried several different methods/tools and there is a problem with the Properties that are showing up on the CD when it is being played with the PC software. It is information of some other random CD. Does anyone know how to deal with this? How to have correct metadata get baked into the CD? Thanks in advance!
I just use iTunes on an old Mac. I'm not honestly sure what it shows on a Windows machine, because I don't have any computers with CD drives. I'm not much help on this question, unfortunately...
@@budgetguitarist , thanks anyway! I think I dug the info out on this. It does not have to do with the CD data, but rather with the data in databases, like Gracenote and/or All Music.
You can edit the metadata in the burning program itself, as far as I know. At least that was the case in Nero Burning Rom. You could go into each file individually before burning and add the information that you need like year, artist, song no. Is that what you mean?
I've done a few both ways, but... After. I mean, the ink is dry and all, but I don't think there's anything to be gained by printing first. The CD Burner is going to be spinning at much faster speeds than a regular CD player, and even though the ink is dry and you "can" print first, I wouldn't want the ink to get smudged or scratched. It probably doesn't matter, but why take a chance?
@@lamarmahomesbakesmecakewhe8520 It's not ilegal what do you mean I bought the oficial cd and made a fan case for it that happens to look like a bootleg It's not like I'm trying to sell a fake cd or something also It's for personal use and my property so I can do whatever with it besides ripping it and trying to profit off it
@@xaviertwilight7855 He literally said he used it to make a bootleg and steal the CD. That's illegal, making a bootleg copy and saying you stole the album is literally confessing that they never bought the album. Maybe actually read before saying dumb shit?
@@lamarmahomesbakesmecakewhe8520 before you start insulting people you should be the one doing the reading The album is called Steal this album I didn't steal anything
Yes - I downloaded the software for this printer from the Epson website, and I think there was a glossy setting. I might be misremembering, though, because that was a year ago. You might need to do a few (trial and error) to see which settings work best.
what cd template did u use for the jewel case, like the back and the front, i tried one from google but when i printed it it didnt properly fit right into the case.
i want to make my own blu-rays soon, should i burn the disc first or print the art on the disc? i'm worried that doing one over the other first might ruin the contents of the blu-ray
To be 100% honest, I don't know. I'd rather say I don't know than to give you bad advice. I also don't have a BluRay burner, so I can't test it. Sorry about that.
Came across your video and was delighted to see the love for CDs still going strong! Have you experienced our product *Nero Burning ROM* ? It's the go-to for copying, ripping, and burning CDs/DVDs. Exciting news: *Nero Platinum Suite 2024* is set to launch on 1st Nov 2023, packed with advanced CD/DVD processing software. Hoping this suite proves beneficial for you.
I turned here hoping that I would be told what type of CD recorder machine I could use to burn CDs on at a live show , in other words , burning the live concert on a cd while the concert is on performing,it right on the CD as the show is going on what type of machine do I need for that
I doubt that you'll be able to find a live CD recorder, but a laptop with a CD burner is actually better. You record your live show into a DAW on the laptop, and then normalize the recording. Then you burn it to CD on the laptop. That way you can burn as many copies as you want. If you have a laptop with no burner, you can buy a cheap USB or USB-C burner for under $50.
Hey I've been looking for something like this thank you. I got a quick question what can you burn besides music. How would it be if you wanted to make your own games and then put them on CDs and sell them like we used to?
You certainly could. A blank CD is a blank CD. It'll handle data the same way it handles music. You wouldn't use iTunes, though. You'd tell your computer what format to use (Mac, Windows, Both.) But the big drawback is that most modern laptops no longer include a CD/DVD drive. Still, you could sell games digitally and then make a collector's item CD for people who want it. Probably a good idea.
okay cuz I was trying to get some ideas to make some games and make a few to put on steam first. and then when I made a few sales and if I get any buy one of those machines that would help. Thank you It would basically be only for Windows. I watch a guy called pirate software he used to work at blizzard his dad was a cinematic director. And he talks about what he does he makes games and he only makes for Windows because the whole issue with Mac and Linux. basically be using Windows.
Sad I won't be able to afford this one for a while but I found a good cheaper one for now. but sadly there is no CD burner but good thing Windows has basically its own. When does studio maker I can just use that to burn my games on to it for now. so at least if I make my own I can distribute them without having to always do online sales. With steam.
Ive bought one of these printers and I can not for the life of me get the sodding thing to print best quality onto cd. The print quality selection on the Epson photo + app is permanently greyed out. Does anyone have any ideas, it's driving me insane!

Great work man. Cause this stream ing sht ain't working 1 cent for One thousand plays. CD money in the artist pocket. Right now their just giving away music for free. That's crazy.
A cassette recorder would Record the show as it is going on directly on a cassette but what type of CD recorder is there on the market that I can record on a CD while something is being recorded
After a few years the picture on these CDrs will be blurry and faded. Also these CDrs are not even close to the quality of factory replicated CDs. There's no such option on mac (iTunes) to burn CD-DA out of WAV files, you can burn only out of mp3 which is a terrible idea. The only good thing about this video is that it shows how you should not make your CDs.
No, no, no. I have CDs I printed 18 years ago that still look wonderful. And the sound quality is identical to mass market CDs. I've actually done this before.
It's ALL about the printer, and that printer does work with Windows 11. The trick is the software. I use Photoshop, which is available for Windows, but it's not cheap.
It's a good idea! 👍

Great video! I make my own CDs and DVDs to just give to people as a way of sorta having back-ups of my work all over the place
Super! Thanks for putting this video together!
You could print the CD a little closer to the middle also ? I guess this is the Dye ink that will smudge as soon as it comes in contact with water ?
This is good if you want to make a Cartoon Episode's CD with custom printed label on it.
Disk Makers minimum order is actually 100 unfortunately.
What do you mean by that if you don’t mind me asking

Do it yourself
Thanks so much! Awesome music for the video too 🎉
Thanks! I appreciate that. :)
5:23 i do that too because the only laptop i have with a cd burner is a 2012 macbook pro
Thank you. Nice music and art! Blessings and peace to you and your family.
Your music sounds great! Love the channel!
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words very much. :)
Fantastic video, you covered exactly what i needed
Hey thank you for great video. We are as a band making our own CD's just like you did. We have a quiestion. How do you arrange the order pf the songs
you just drag them to the cd file when ur burning the cd in the order of your desired track playlist
Where did you get the CD printing tray?
It came with the printer.
it doesnt let me print my cd even though i installed a driver it says i havent and i cant frind my printer that isnt using airplay

Yes - I downloaded the software for this printer from the Epson website, and I think there was a glossy setting. I might be misremembering, though, because that was a year ago. You might need to do a few (trial and error) to see which settings work best.
can i stick a sticker instead of printing it cause i cant find a cd printer
