Hello!  My name is John Rogers, professional mixing and mastering engineer.  I opened JR mastering studio in 1999, right off the beautiful Las Vegas strip, NV.   I’m the only engineer here.  You work one-on-one with me, not an intern who just started mastering a few months ago. 


1. What is needed to create a DDP master?
Email me the following information.  Track Titles (in the order you want them to appear on your CD), CD Title, Track Artist(s), CD Artist.  The rest of these items are optional - Track Songwriter, Track Composer, Track Arranger, CD Composer, CD Arranger, CD Genre, UPC and ISRC codes (if you have them) and pause times between songs (usually 1 or 2 seconds unless it’s continuous play).    And your mailing address if your are ordering the two plastic CDs.


2. Make Payment
Enter the total amount.  Make payment here.




 


3. Upload Your Song Files Below
Song files should be .wav (44.1hz and 16bit) or .mp3.  A DDP/CD holds only 80 minutes.  If you go over 80 minutes, split your project in half and create your song order for two CDs.  And, double your payment.  Your order will be finished in 2-3 business days.



 



How do I create my own DDP master file?
Using the HOFA DDP creation software is the best way to create your DDP master image file.  The software costs around $80 and comes with a learning curve.  If need to get your DDP created quickly, for only $15 let my service do all the work!



 



What is a DDP image file?
A DDP image file contains an image of your entire CD from beginning to end, and is used to make physical plastic CDs.   This is the same thing as a DDP master file.

If you want to create physical plastic CDs to sell or give away (and many still do) there are only two ways to do it.

1. Create a plastic CD (with all the necessary info) and mail it to the duplication company.
2. Create a DDP image file (with all the necessary info) and upload it to the duplication company.  A DDP image file contains an image of your entire CD from beginning to end.  Most, if not all, CD duplication companies offer this option.  Make sure yours does before getting a DDP image file created.


What information goes into a DDP file?
Of course the song files are imported, title names are added, the songs are put in order as you want them to play on the CD, CD Title, Track Artist(s), CD Artist, and pause times between songs needs to be set (usually 1 or 2 seconds unless it’s continuous play).  


The additional optional information you can add to a DDP image file includes -   

 
Track Songwriter, Track Composer, Track Arranger, CD Composer, CD Arranger, CD Genre, UPC and ISRC codes (if you have them)


 

Do you need professional mixing or mastering services?
If you need any of your songs professionally mixed or mastered I also provide this service at a very affordable price.  See my rates page for more info.
