[Dixielandjazz] Oasis

I told you I would let you know how I got CDbaby  for free. Stick with me 
here. You’ll see how this ties in with promotions,  online and otherwise as you 
read on.

In the past, I have produced  CDs through a local company, and I have always 
received the Diskmakers catalogs  and promotions, but sometime back I received 
a catalog in the mail that really  looked interesting.

I read carefully through the entire catalog and  had a great feeling about 
this company. I entrepreneurial spirit, and I love  privately held smaller 
companies that give close personal attention and superior  service, and that 
usually results in a superior product and  satisfaction.

I investigated this company further and was more  pleased every turn I took. 
I could not recommend this company highly enough to  anyone and will not 
hesitate to use them for all the appropriate projects in the  future.

The company is Oasis Disc Manufacturing. It is at  http://www.oasiscd.com/

Their rates are very competitive and their  results are superior.

My story is simple; I usually do things in  kind of a homemade fashion doing 
much of the production myself, whether it be  artwork, or duplication, print 
covers and have the product shrink wrapped  elsewhere, and on. Although I’ve 
had CDs mass produced before, I would usually  do some of the production aspects 
myself, such as mastering or artwork &  layout.

Just once, I wanted to produce something first-class all  the way. Oasis gave 
me the ability to achieve that  spectacularly.

They had as options, an artwork department, Oasis  DesignWorks, that would 
compose the artwork & layout and work with me to  whatever degree I wanted, and 
if I didn’t like it, it cost me nothing, and I  could use my own stuff . . . 
nothing to lose.

I have never produced  a CD that had not been mastered by myself. They had a 
deal with a well-known  mastering house in New York, and if I didn’t like the 
result it cost me nothing  we would go with what I sent . . . nothing to lose.

Top spine  labels, single speed glass masters and on and on . . . every kind 
of option you  could want.

So I gave this a shot, and was extremely happy with the  result. The 
mastering was awesome . . . and alone made it worthwhile. The  artwork, the top spine 
labels . . . great! The personal attention I received  every step along the 
way, the run-around time . . . I just can’t say enough, and  I’m not getting 
paid to say anything.

NOW, THE GOODIES I  MENTIONED!

One added reason that made this such a worthwhile deal  is all the added 
extras I got FREE – the TOOLS OF PROMOTION!

All  these were included. You can get things done maybe cheaper, but probably 
not as  well and not with all the goodies above.

Steve brought to your  attention a short run company that I’ll mention again 
in the future. That is  good for what it is. But if you want a quality job, 
done right, and you want  some invaluable goodies, this is where it’s at.

One of the most  outstanding values is DigStation, which I’ll discuss in the 
next  post.
