CD Duplication, won’t any old computer do that? Sure, but for people that are trying to distribute their CDs to the masses, a simple CD burner on your old PC isn’t going to cut it. A standard CD burner will only churn out one CD at a time, and usually at a pretty slow pace. With a CD duplicator, you can create multiple copies in one sitting that are ready for distribution.

Now, a CD duplicator probably isn’t a wise purchase for just anyone. Someone that’s trying to make copies of their family photo album isn’t really going to need the use of a CD duplicator. Someone that’s trying to produce their own album, however, could really use it.

Struggling musicians trying to get the word out can find CD duplicators extremely useful, because they’ll allow for making a high-volume of professionally produced CDs in a short period of time. You have to know what you’re looking for, though, because the wrong thing isn’t going to be worth your investment.

The first thing you want to look for is an automated duplicator. They also sell manual duplicators, which work faster than your run-of-the-mill PC, but are essentially the same thing. With an automated duplicator, you can load a number of CDs in and crank out as many copies as you need. These are going to be a little more expensive, some running as much as $1,000, but they’re definitely worth the investment.

The next thing you want to consider is whether or not you’re going to want to duplicate DVDs as well. If you are, then you should look for a CD/DVD duplication device, rather than just a CD duplicator. It’s a good idea to make sure your device does both, even if you’re not planning on doing DVDs, just in case that functionality is needed in the future.

The last thing, obviously, that you need to consider is your budget. Make sure you select a machine you can afford, recognizing that it can be a significant investment for you as well. You’re going to get what you pay for, so spending a little extra money isn’t going to be a bad thing in this case.
