Printing of CD booked? [rumor]

[daviebuckethead]

i would think that mastering should be done before turning the album over to the record company?

if thats the case, then the record company would put the cd casings, art work, and pressing cds in to action?

and if thats the case then the album is done, mastered and ready to roll as far as the record company are concerned?


i just dont understand how they can go ahead and start to print artwork without having turned the album over to the label, surely they would need money from the label to print the artwork in the fiorst place, which i dont see happening unless they have the finished album in their possesion?


so surely the album is finshed (MASTERING COMPLETED) if the artwork is getting printed....sorry if this sounds confusing!

The only thing I find illogical about this rumor is the fact they would get ready to print before a release date is revealed.

thats kinda what im getting at

I'd like to presume this to be BS until proven otherwise.
believing this might cause unnecessary frustration, and further rumors that we simply dont need anymore.

This Good Is WEB ??



Thankz for Info.

I think we all are so desperate for this album at this point that we get excited at anything that seems remotely credible. ?

If we just go by what has been said in the last 6 months...the band would need approximately 8 weeks for promotion. ?If they don't even tell us a release date yet, it seems unlikely that they would be getting ready for printing. ?Also, it seems weird that would produce a bunch of the CD's way before they are getting ready to sip them...especially since they seem to be pretty anti-leak right now. ?Why would they want a bunch of CD's sitting around waiting to be leaked for weeks?



Just being devil's advocate here.

It's about printing cds, not covers. I don't know how standard procedures works, but in theory, they could be on an "upcoming printing jobs" list before mixing. If they take it through mixing and mastering, I'm assuming they've gotten a "go" from the company.

If it's true, a release date SHOULD be announced shortly. With the tentative March 6 date, I don't think they want to announce a release date that will have to be pushed back, and there's good reasons to think that Interscope is a little hostile. The only thing I find weird now is that there's not more rumors out there.

In reply to Danny: There's no dates at all mentioned here. The printing of these cds mentioned could happen in 2 weeks, in 5 weeks or in 10 or 20 weeks. My source did not see any date.

[Lucky]

A source I have reasons to trusts, who works at a cd production plant, told me he got a short glimpse of a manager's schedule at work the other day. On the schedule he saw "Guns 'n Roses" (sic) written. He only got a short glimpse of it, and he doesn't know the date, but he did say he believes it should happen quite shortly since his manager has it on his list.

this part I Dont buy.
there's been to many "short glimpses" that dont reveal anything, but just the name GNR.

and how hard is it to find out if they are going to print anything else.

at the factory
joe : so dude.... I hear we're working on GNR album next week
boss: where did you get that idea?
joe: mandy from the accounting told me
boss : she must be confused
joe: how come?
boss: we dont print it next week. we print it in 3 weeks.

or:

boss : she must be confused
joe: how come?
boss: she's probably gone crazy since we dont do GNR at all.

[Danny]

Ok dude.  Don't blame me for being skeptical, though...OK?

[SLCPUNK]

Blah!!!!

Danny: We have good reasons to be sceptical. I'm not sure about it either, but I post it because some flow of information is cool either way. Right now, there's no 2nd or 3rd source who can confirm this, unfortunately, and I'm no big fan of depending on one source...

Lucky: Security is tight and this is secretive, and those lists aren't exactly thrown around the offices. The managers would know this, but the average person won't see them until days before (or something like that). One thing though: He did indicate this could be a single based on the number code, so there's at least ONE more thing than the name.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see if the info is right.

Does a cd necessarily need to be mastered. I'm pretty sure the latest Iron Maiden album , A Matter Of Life And Death wasn't mastered and it sounds no different, although the music is genius!

Ok man.  Fair enough.

ok, I hope this is true, but so far, I'm playing it safe.

I just cant get over the fact that people always "get glimpses".

so far it's always been poop.



and just to be sure...
is there a chance that this might be some GNR posters, t-shirts or other GNR merchandise?
also, re-prints of the old catalogue are a possibility.

[WARose]

i guess a single is far more likely than the actual CD.....so why not?

[daviebuckethead]

man, i thought the last iron maiden album sounded terribel and really weak, i couldnt figure out why? maybe coz it wasn'y mastered?

Mastering is required in order to reach proper sound decibels.? A CD has to be at 0 decibels or you can count out any radio play as well as duplication, since sound levels do degrade slightly in mass production.? Mastering also brings different sound waves to their approprriate? levels so they can be heard as well as even with other sound waves.

Mastering is just as important as a mix.? The rule is "mix at low volumes, master at high volumes".

Well, it was a cd or a single, but it could be something unofficial.

[Lucky]

how about AFD, UYI, etc.etc...

those need to be "re-printed" from time to time as well.
