Cheapest Short Run Duplication?

Hey guys,

I just finished my first full length album that I did entirely myself at home (with the exception of mastering). Anyways, when I get the tracks back from the mastering engineer, I need to get 100 cd's made. I am wanting standard jewels with a tray card and either a 2 panel or 4 panel insert, everything full color. Is discmakers really the cheapest out there? It will be around $320-$370, depending on what all I get with them. Just wondering if you guys are using anyone else out there?

Also, I need a barcode on it as well.

Thanks!

I've been using disc makers for a while. I don't know if they're the cheapest, but they have always delivered results on time.

Often, timeliness and reliability is more important than price to me, so my advice is to shop around for the best price, but consider all the requirements of the process when evaluating choices for short-run dups.

Cheers,
++a

Diskmakers is pretty cheap.

The mastering is a shot in the dark, but I've had good results with Graham Goldman from Diskmakers mastering. He did my last album (R&B).
