I've shot this question via email to a couple of ME's, but have gotten no response. (I understand that you guys stay pretty busy). Well, I'm trying to save every buck I can on my next project, but it will be an enhanced CD. If I send the mixdown CD with the enhanced CD data on it, would it be a problem for you guys to master the audio tracks and then make a Redbook master enhanced CD? Basically, the duplication company wants to make the enhanced CD, but I'd rather do it my way except I can't burn a Redbook CD at the moment.

Also, anyone offer discounts for exclusive business? I've got a client planning on doing compilation releases every quarter and I just thought that to make things simpler I could go with the same guy everytime.

i know a lot about enhanced cd.

not that there is that much to know.

the non-audio portion is just like when you burn a data cd from your computer.

as long as you understand the requirements of the format, there is no reason that the mastering house should have a problem with it.

the most important thing is that you have an autorun.inf file -- very very easy to create.

if you need any help i would do it for you for free -- no problem dude. just contact me.

The "tricky" part in creating an enhanced CD isn't so much in creating a multisession disc (programs like Nero can do this) but in having the ability to create an accurate audio session.

Unless there's some trick I missed CD Architect doesn't create a multisession disc, and programs like Nero do not allow for accurate PQ editing.

Best to have a combination of software. A good mastering program for the audio that leave the disc open, and another for the data portion.
