Recording Package

Do you need an audition CD?  Want to make a CD, but limit your expense?  For local performers we offer a recording package for $899 that includes 2 hours of recording at your location using the same superb mics and recording system we use to produce our highly praised DTR CDs, assembly editing to use the takes you select for the CD into a CD with indexes, a CD booklet (2 or 4 page) with a color cover (provided by you, all program notes, etc. provided by you electronically to us), a tray card, and black label printing on each CD.  You receive a test copy of the CD and packaging for approval, then 50 packaged CDs (booklets, tray cards, labels, shrink wrapped).  Additional charges apply for more distant recording locations, where more editing is required, or where additional design work is needed for the CD booklet, tray card, and/or CD label.  Mechanical licenses and any other copyright arrangements and payments are your responsibility.  Additional copies of your CD can be ordered as needed.

On Location Recording

We can record your concert or performance.  Our basic on location recording package includes the recording, basic editing, and packaging, and includes 10 copies of a fully packaged CD of the performance.  Choral recordings a speciality.  Contact us for more details at sales@dtrmusic.com.  We are based in the Philadelphia/New Jersey area.
