NEW! REAL-TIME
GLASS MASTERING
The first step in disc manufacturing is to cut a glass
master, which is used to create the stamper that will
press your discs. Normally, a glass master is cut at
high speed, sometimes up to eight times the normal playback
speed. Most CDs are produced this way - it's an industry
standard. However, for some audiophiles, the best possible
CD sound comes from having a glass master cut at the
exact playback speed of your disc - "real-time".
You can request real-time glass mastering at
