An Introduction to Recording Your Own CD

Moving On

Packaging Your CD

With your ﬁnal CD in hand, you can design a

cover package for the CD or hire someone to do it

for you. You can print the cover elements on your

printer. If you prefer, you can have it printed

professionally. Insert the cover elements into

each CD case and you’re ready to go.

Some CD manufacturers can even handle the packaging and assembly for

you when they duplicate your CD. On the other hand, many independent

musicians have gotten great results, and have gone on to successful careers,

doing everything themselves.

Your CD is Done

Congratulations! You now hold in your hand a CD of your own music.

Share it with the world if you like, send it to friends and family, sell it at

live performances or ﬁre it off to music industry professionals. Or maybe

just enjoy hearing your own music on a professional-sounding CD. It’s a

great time to be making music.

Getting Ready for Your Next CD

It’s time to prepare for recording your next song:

• If you’re using a hard disk recorder or memory card—make a copy of

your song data, called a “backup,” on a CD. This is especially easy on

a Roland or BOSS studio workstation with a built-in CD burner. Once

you’ve made a backup, check to see if you have enough disk or card

space for the new song. If not, you can now erase your hard disk or

card to make room. You can “restore” the backup to your hard drive or

card at any time and everything will be right where you left it. A data

backup retains all of the song’s materials—even the stuff you need if

you want to undo something—and all of its settings.

• If you’re recording on digital tape—insert and format a new tape if

you’re out of recording space.
