Chapter 13. Make and Promote Your Own CDs

Why wait for a record deal? Do it yourself. Here are tutorials on making your own CDs. Also, advice on getting the world to notice.

Once you've spent a zillion hours writing, rehearsing, and committing your art to tape or hard drive and then mastering, you'll probably want to duplicate a whole mess o' copies and get your blood, sweat, and bytes out to the world. You'll need to create a CD master to do this.

You'll need a good CD burner . They ship built in to almost all new computers now. If you don't have one, go buy one at Fry's, Circuit City, or some place like that, or online.

They're all a little different to install, so follow the directions.
