filling out the forms to get cassettes done at NAC is complex business. electronic signatures and imprinting templates

[steelen]

I'm having a hard time finding where to get tapes in colors and stuff on the listed websites? Am I just not looking right?

[Shamwow]

which website?

[mjantz]

if you are looking on NAC, you should just email or call them--they have way more colors than their website says. they have more or less any color you can think of.

I use NAC and have never had to do electronic sigs... I agree with MJ - give NAC a call - they're super nice on the phone. Can't say enough good things about that place.

NAC is fantastic. Got all my tapes back only a couple days after I filled out the forms. Super cheap for small runs too.

are you talking printing+dubbing? how small a run are you talking? i was made to understand that <100 would basically be shooting myself in the foot due to there being extra fees for 'under-run' or something...

i've only done runs of 100, with imprinting too. Prices are super reasonable, and you're right - their service is insanely fast.

That said, I'm home dubbing my next Tape Drift batch. While the pro-dubs are cool and it's nice to have a box of completed tapes shipped to yr door, I found myself missing the dubbing process. When I dub them myself (in real time), I end up spending a lot more time with the music and the tapes themselves, and in the end having a closer relationship with those releases. If that makes any sense, hahaha.

i see what you mean. i personally only have (and only ever will) do dubs for my own music, so i feel like i spend enough time with it prior to dubbing!

i feel ya. it's the reason I do tapes instead of cdrs.
way more 'real'

I did a run of 40, but I mean the price I paid was nowhere as steep as I thought. I would've done 100, but I hate having extra copies laying around. They did all the j-card and cassette art as well.

guys!! i'm getting closer to having my label/distro off the ground. will be ordering product for the distro over the next couple days and got two tape releases in the works, i placed the order at nac a little over a week ago, waiting on the tests. the site is pretty much complete www.sorcererdatabase.com, feedback on the web site design and functionality would be appreciated! thanks!

[prism]

the overall design is quite nice, though the background image is a bit pixelated. i do enjoy the easy navigation of it all, and the tapes and cdrs do look neat.

[detergent]

thanks dude!

[for Noise's sake]

looks pretty cool the website. just one thing, $13,50 for shipping overseas it's too expensive, i think.
