Hey Bands, Artists & Musicians!
Welcome to Discark - A new and unique distribution method for your music. At Discark, you'll never have to pre-duplicate your product again. It’s like having your own private Manufacturing and Distribution deal all in one, and it’s non-exclusive so you retain all rights to your music and release.
You can immediately release your music to the world via CD and download quickly with ease:
All you have to do is:
Log on to Discark and post your release
Send in your master and artwork
Tell your friends and fans your release is immediately available via download or disc at Discark
Get excited when you realize you did not pay to make your discs up front, and didn’t have to wait weeks to get them and start selling them on your own, and that you’re not stuffing envelopes!
At Discark, we offer mainly three distribution methods. They are:
- downloads;
- Standard Distribution for the discs you already have manufactured;
- On demand Manufacturing and Distribution, for those of you that don't already have discs to sell.
We also offer a combination package of a download and a disc, which is great for the fan that wants the download instantly while they're waiting for the disc to arrive in the mail.
Here's some more info on the different distribution methods:
Our digital distribution service makes your music available as a downloads. You can offer your whole album as a download, and also pick and choose which of your songs you want make available as individual downloads.
In regards to distributing your music on CD, we offer two choices. Standard Distribution and On Demand Manufacturing and Distribution.
Standard Distribution is for those of you that have already manufactured retail ready discs on your own. After you log in to Discark and post your release, we ask you to send us 5 CDs so we can add them to our shelf inventory in our large warehouse. When they sell, we keep only $3 of the selling price per CD and send you the rest. So if you sell your disc for $10.00, you'll receive $7.00. We send out payments every two weeks. When we sell all of your discs, we’ll then ask you to replenish the inventory.
The On Demand Manufacturing and Distribution Service is for those of you that don't have product manufactured and ready to sell. With this option, we'll manufacture the discs for you on demand as the orders come in. You'll never end up throwing away unsold discs again! This program offers multiple package options including Jewel case, DVD case and printed sleeves. As you sell your release to the public via Discark, the amount we keep covers the manufacturing and fullfillment costs, and we'll then send you the rest. For instance, let's say you choose the most popular Jewel case package which includes a full color CD face, 4 panel color cover and color tray card, assembled and wrapped. Let's say and you sell it for $12.00. The On Demand Manufacturing and Distribution charge for this package is $7.50, so you would receive $4.50! Think about it...You would start earning pure profit immediately, since you did not put up any money to pre-duplicate your product. Now that's more money than a record contract will ever pay you, and you'll still retain all the rights to your music.
As for the quality of the discs we manufacture, we have a state of the art CD manufacturing facility with over one million dollars of equipment. Our quality is excellent. We wouldn’t make a product that would look unprofessional to a music buying consumer. We manufacture discs everyday. This is the very same equipment that we use when bands and artists come to us and order 100 – 1000’s of discs from us! If you’re worrying about the terms CD-r and digital print… don’t. You’re in good company. We don’t like to name drop, but we have manufactured millions of on demand discs for many well known artists, including The Black Crowes, The Allman Brothers Band, KISS, Peter Frampton, Jewel, Phil Lesh form The Greatful Dead, Charlie Daniels, and many, many, many more.
We use very high-quality printing and duplication methods so you can be sure that your customers are getting top-quality products. Discs are duplicated onto professional-quality recordable media, then we print directly on the disc using advanced printing technology which is water-proof and scratch resistant. No paper labels or inkjet printing are used. Packaging inserts and jackets are printed using a state-of-the-art digital printing system that produces sharp, vivid color. All products are then shrinkwrapped for protection before shipping. An untrained eye will not be able to tell any difference between the products we manufacture and the products you see on store shelves.
