[ProAudio] 90 Min CRR?

[Louis Judson]

I have only one client that needs CDs any more, and she is a blind drummer who doesn’t use computers. Nowadays I dropbox the files to a neighbor of hers, and he sneakernets a CD to her. But thaty is only for her approval, the final product is on YuTube.

Welcome to the modern world. I still buy CDs form musicians at gigs just to support them, but they end up in iTunes anyway!
I’d LOVE to hear that Kenton project if it is at all possible!:-)

>> But, more pertinent to your current issue, I stocked single-width two-CD jewel cases because I had LOTS of projects that wouldn't even fit on an 80-minute disc. The good news for us is I got to charge for two CDs worth of "CD Prep!"
