my old engineer had ownership in disc makers and he didn't know jack shit about mixing, mastering, or producing - yet he still had say in the process (!!!!)

then i talked to another guy who worked at discmakers and he told me that nobody in there cared for shit and neither did he (!!!)


so based on that knowledge i don't fuck with them lol

real talk for those of us who are into recording and what not.. but if your just a rapper who lets others do that make sure you hear some work that the place/person has done before.

UPC codes don't cost no $500......that's bullshit. It costs $750 (last I checked) to get a business # from the Uniform Control Council......who are the ONLY people who can actually sell you a barcode. You get your business code which is the first 6 digits of the barcode........followed by a 5 digit code of your own choosing......followed by the last number which is called the "check sum digit" and is created with the barcode software. A bar code can be used for up to about 99,999 combinations......which means you can have 99,999 individual bar codes.

I paid $500 for my code in December 2000......it went up to $750 in 2001. I don't know what it is now though.

And for all you guys who don't know shit about UPC codes........D-Sane is here to sprinkle you with some game!

This is from the Recording Industry Association of America:

http://www.riaa.com/Audio-Standards-4.cfm

UPC codes are widely used to identify products. You will find the UPC symbol on almost every mass produced product, including CDs, cassettes, videos, and DVDs. The UPC symbol consists of a series of vertical lines with a series of numbers beneath. When scanned, the lines are readable to the scanning device as the series of numbers. These numbers identify the manufacturer and product type, as well as other miscellaneous information about the product. The numbers are in a series that typically looks like this:

x XXXXX XXXXX x

While RIAA does not administer Universal Product Codes (UPC), the Uniform Code Council does. If you are a vendor in need of a code for your product, you can find instructions on how to obtain one at the UCC website.

RIAA does work with our member companies to determine how the configuration (CD, video, DVD, etc) of recordings will be represented in the UPC code. Below is a chart that displays what these code numbers mean. The configuration code number is in the 11th position of the UPC code, so if the product were a CD it might look like this:

x XXXXX XXXX2 x

Code -- Audio
1 12" LP, 12" Single
2 All 3" and all 5" CD, CD-ROM, CDI (all 3" and all 5" CD) and VCD
3 Unassigned
4 Cassette, Maxi-Cassette, Cassette Single
5 DCC
6 Unassigned
7 7" Single
8 Mini Disc
9 DVD (all music formats)
0 Unassigned
