Album Production
Need production help? Need top studio musicians or singers?
Many record labels resort to “pat” answers. The seasoned producers at Creative Caffeine, lead by well-known producer Jeff Brock, strongly believe that every project is unique and deserves its own creative and production approach. With decades of experience producing all genres of music, and with close ties to the top musicians in Nashville, Los Angeles, New York, and London, Creative Caffeine’s expert producers can make your album turn out the way you envisioned it in your mind.
Producer rates start at $100/hr, or by the project. Typical percentage split applies to label-financed releases.
CD Printing and Duplication
Our Rimage Everest II thermal CD printer prints the best looking CDs we’ve ever seen, with better resolution than major replication companies’ silk screening process. The image is extremely durable, with vivid colors, and will not scratch. When you don’t need 1000 CDs at a time, this is the definitive answer.
The short-run price starts at $2 and includes the CD, duplication, and thermal printing. Also available is high-quality ink-jet printed CDs on our Bravo II starting at $1.25 each.
