I've mixed a bunch of songs for a band and they have chosen Disc Makers to do the matering.

Disc Makers say they accept CD-R format (among others) for thier mastering process.
Is CD-R a format that I can produce on my PC?
I may be wrong, but should this disc be a DATA CD?

Is there anything else I should be aware of before I hand this band a finished disc and say it is the correct format for Disc Makers?

I thank you...
 
Ok, I guess Disc Makers is some kind of company.
You know... Instead of assuming things I think the best thing to do is to just ask Disc Makers. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to help you out.
 
What they're going to want is an audio CD. It's recorded on a CD-R, yes, but unless you are contracting DiscMakers to do some sort of post-production work on your music ("mastering", which is different from "glass master"), all they do is check the disc for errors, then make a glass copy of it, and burn a bunch of copies.
 
I believe the intent is to have them do mastering - not just making a glass master.
 
In that case, I strongly urge you to reconsider. DiscMakers does not do a good job with mastering; I've heard several projects that went through there, and the best I could say about them was that the volume levels were similar. A real mastering engineer is well worth the investment.
 
Per Jack Endino, check out Eddy Schreyer at Oasis Mastering and/or John Golden at John Golden Mastering if you want a real good job...
