Q: My order has not moved from Studio Processing in the last 14 days. Is there a problem?
|
A:
|
- Even though it appears that an order doesn't move in the
"Studio Processing" phase, it doesn't mean that no work is being done on your order. It doesn't mean that there is a problem with your order, either. In fact, it is in the best interest of your recording
NOT to be rushed through the "Studio Processing" phase.
 | "Studio Processing" is where most of the work takes place. Here is what happens to your recording in the "Studio Processing" phase:
 | Your recording, now digitally recorded onto a computer, is analyzed by an experienced sound engineer. Since this critical phase of the restoration process requires a great deal of experience, it is
at this time performed by Cristian Coban, Ph.D. On an average day Dr. Coban listens to and makes restoration decisions about dozens of recordings. The recordings are queued up and listened to in the order in which they were received. Typically a recording will be in the listening queue for several days. Each recording is restored individually, considering many factors, such as the physical condition of the record, the sound of the record, the type of material that is recorded, and many other elements. |
| Your recording is then processed by powerful computers. Even with powerful computers processing can take longer than the actual recording. All recordings are queued up for computer time in the order in which they have arrived at the computing stations. |
| After computer processing, your restored recording is inspected by a sound engineer. He/she listens for how effective the restoration process has been. If the restoration process has been ineffective or unsatisfactory your recording is returned to the sound engineer for another restoration, using a different approach. Sometimes this process is repeated 2-3-4-5 times. |
| While your recording is processed by computers the CD label is
printed and the cover art is scanned (if you ordered the CD cover). |
| When your recording finally passes inspection, it must be mastered for CD. Recordings are queued up and processed in the order in which they arrive at the mastering stations. This process is done entirely "by hand" by a highly qualified audio technician. It involves deciding where each track should begin and end. A typical workday involves listening to hundreds of tracks and editing many of these by hand. |
| The CD master of your recording then goes on to the CD-R recording stations. Again, recordings are queued up and made into CD's in the order in which they arrive at the CD recording stations. Your CD is created and labeled. If your order includes a color CD cover, the color cover is added to the jewel-case. |
| Now your CD goes in for the final quality check. If something doesn't sound right on your CD, the job is routed back to where the problem originated. We DO NOT compromise quality, so if the CD has a sound problem the job will be returned to the beginning of the "Studio Processing" cycle. |
| If your CD passes inspection, it is ready for the next phase, "Prepare to Ship". |
|
| All this is happening while you see that your recording has not moved at all from Studio Processing. |
Please consider this: CVC Productions does not get paid on your order until after the "Studio Processing" phase is finished. We would rather have money in the bank than hundreds of pending orders in "Studio Processing", but quality work takes time. We are willing to work hard to put out a quality product. We hope you now understand why it is in the best interest of your recording NOT to be rushed through the "Studio Processing"
phase.

Q: I know you received my order today but it doesn't
show in the Order Tracking System. Why?
|
A:
|
- The check-in phase is very important (we must log-in every item of every package) and very laborious. There may be a few hours delay between the time when we receive a package and the time when the Order Tracking System is updated. A package received late in the day may not post until the next day. Some days we get more orders at the same time than we can thoroughly check-in in one day. We Admin Process the orders in the order in which we received them. As soon as your package can be thoroughly inventoried it will be entered in the Order Tracking System. |

: PLEASE READ
Important Scheduling Notice
At this time we are booked with
work commitments until October 2008. New orders placed on this
Web site will be processed in the order received, beginning early
October 2008. Our Receiving Department will accept and date-stamp
packages received, for processing in order in which they were
received. The packages WILL NOT be entered into our Order Tracking
System until early October 2008 (please do not panic if you
do not see your order in the Order Tracking System). Email inquiries received after
July 7 will be answered October 2008. Phone support will
resume at the same time.
Should we develop any
available processing capacity before October 2008, we will update this
message. Please stay tuned.
Please feel free to
submit orders at this time, for processing in October 2008.
Please DO NOT PLACE AN ORDER if it must be processed before October
2008. We anticipate a heavy workload in October and November 2008. If
you have projects for Holiday Season 2008, may we suggest that you send
in your order as early as possible. Orders will be
processed in the order received. Wise customers order early
If you wonder "is it
worth submitting an order now and waiting for processing in
October", we think YES. We have hundreds of loyal customers
who would not think of sending their work to anyone else but to us and
they think that the wait is worthwhile. Submitting your order now,
early "in line", will ensure much quicker processing in
October. The closer you place the order to October, the longer the wait
for order completion in October/November.
We thank you, our loyal
customers and new clients,
for your tremendous support!
All the best,
Cristian Coban, Ph.D.
President, CVC Productions
