Demo CDs
Demo
tapes/cassettes have been replaced by CDs and websites. If you're
selling a product, obviously you need to show what it sounds like.
A
demo tape can have excerpts of pieces, even 30 seconds long. The
listener just wants to hear sound quality, if you're in tune,
etc. not the whole piece. A 3-minute CD can be produced inexpensively,
since you don't burn up a lot of recording and editing time.
Fortunately,
CDs are now a lot cheaper to make and send than cassettes of the
past!
