Thanks! dBThe painting is finished, very cool I might add. I've looked at the link & I concur, they have a 4 panel liner, like we been doing. And you're right, the slim line jewel case doesn't have back panel. It makes no difference to me whether or not we have a back panel, although it's a handy place to put the track listing. Maybe the back track listing could be considered redundant, since it's on the back panel of the liner. I could put the track listing right on the front, (yuk). How do we handle the two volumes, actually produce two separate CD's? What's really interesting is Janet did two paintings on Sat morning. They are similar looking, but there are two. My suggestion is we produce the art, as we usually do, & we cross the bridges as we come to them. Although they say the hardest thing to do in life is to figure out which bridges you cross & which bridges you burn.

I've looked at the link & I concur, they have a 4 panel liner, like we been doing. And you're right, the slim line jewel case doesn't have back panel. It does not appear to be the case - there doesn't appear to be an option to charge for them in the pricing table, nor any mention of them that I can find. It makes no difference to me whether or not we have a back panel, although it's a handy place to put the track listing...and it allows for the little label on the side of the disc as well. I'll miss that. Maybe the back track listing could be considered redundant, since it's on the back panel of the liner.I agree... I could put the track listing right on the front, (yuk).Nah. I prefer Janet's paintings. How do we handle the two volumes, actually produce two separate CD's?Yes. What's really interesting is Janet did two paintings on Sat morning. They are similar looking, but there are two.That sounds like just the ticket...I'll trust your judgement on the best way to proceed. I think it's worth trying to do things this way. It appears that it will cost less, and then we don't have to do a fixed run, and I don't have to play bank. Does anyone have any objections to trying this? dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just talked to DiscMakers - they will not allow anyone other than the person who places the initial order to buy copies of the discs from them, So I'd still have to play bank and there'd still have to be a fixed run.

b_3guy Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 I never thought about the side window. I hate cases that don't have one. Makes it impossible to find in a slot in a CD holder. That's almost a deal breaker for me. Steve www.seagullphotodesign.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bryce Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 Originally posted by Dave Bryce: Looks like it's up to me and brother Jackpine again, if he's willing... The question also now arises - do we pursue two individual CDs (one for each volume), or go for the double box? I'd actually lean more towards the two individual CDs. I didn't love the double box on volumes 1 and 2; plus, it makes the liner notes easier to fit, I think. What do y'all think? dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DafDuc Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Double box works for me. We actually did a triple over at Homerec.com - even that was fine. Daf I played in an 8 piece horn band.

Dave Bryce Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 Originally posted by Llarion: go look at Mixonic directly, I think they allow what we need...Thanks, Phil! They appear to pretty much have what we need. $7.03 to make each CD, probably another buck or two to pack and ship it. Should be around the same as the $10 we've been paying, maybe a bit less. The only disadvantage I can see is the whole no back panel/side panel thing. I don't love that, especially the loss of the side panel. I'm actually with Steve J on this one - I want to be able to find the CD in a rack, and it's almost a deal-breaker for me not to have it.

Jazzman Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I'm with you folks. If we are going to do it right lets get the standard case for the professionals playing on it. If we can't aford a few bucks more to have it, we all have problems. You guys did a great job on all of the other ones, they look GREAT! It will look professional IMO. Are we still looking at two seperate CD's or a double pack? PS........ Dave should we be providing you and others with info about the tune? Insert material, etc? What were the thoughts........?

Roland Genske Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 My two thoughts: 1) As far as I read (between the lines), Mixonic doesn't ship outside the US. Quote: "PRICING INCLUDES: ... All packing materials and labor for shipping anywhere in USA" 2) The side panel argument is very valid and I would miss it, too. However, if the price would be to burden Dave again with all the manufacturing and logistics I would happily pass on the side panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
