I fact I'm running it in the background on my MacBook Pro as I type this : - )Īt first you'll notice it that it's only 2 channels, but don't let that fool you, it's entirely capable of doing long crossfades, with advanced Sonic style editing that makes WB look clunky in comparison.ĭDP support is built in, all disc burns are made from a DDP set, bounced from the EDL. The current version of PMCD is v3.0.1 which is UB and designed to run natively with OSX 10.5.x Leopard on new Mac Pro's (& PPC's) I know that Dave G has stated that Peak 6 is working very well for him.Īpparently Wave Editor is working for some folks as well, and the price is right.īut I chose Sonic Studio PMCD to replace WB (and later added soundBlade) with absolutely no regrets. Their vastly improved Playlist now seems entirely capable of burning masters, and the layout looks very much like the "checkerboard" arrangement of WB, complete with a region list, tweakable crossfades, and levels. I've been a Peak user since v.1 for 10-12 years, but never used for the actual mastering or even burning discs, it's a good utility app for doing file conversions, file repairs, batch conversions, misc other uses.īut a lot has changed with Peak Pro 6. It would seem that the Image bounce & data files found in the WB "package" could easily be converted to a DDP bounce, should Apple obtain permission/license from DCS for DDP support, but I digress. It's a real shame, WB is such a easy to use application, but Apple won't give it the attention it deserves, much less address it's bugs, and it won't do DDP. I had found WB v1.2 to be very stable with OSX 10.4.x, but I hear WB's actually gotten worse with v1.5 and 10.5 Leopard. The final straw with WaveBurner OSX was when Barry found the WB "bit bug", which many of us verified with various tests. from WB to PMCD and then soundBlade (with Peak as an alternative). You may be aware that I went through a similar transition a couple of years ago. Peak does not support that.Īnyway, as your friend, that's my tuppence!Īnyway, as your friend, that's my tuppence!Thanks man, that was really helpful.ĭo you know if the basic PreMaster CD 3 version will give me DDP export?

I think your needs will be met well by PMCD and once you upgrade to SoundBlade you can start bringing your external hardware into its mix engine and perhaps move much of the mastering process to that platform. Peak can provide DDP too, but it's an extra cost option. Your replicator may provide an upload to their server as well. I deliver DDP file sets to my replicator on data DVD's, archived and I include a checksum. You can make proofing CD's from the DDP, btw with PMCD. So you save them a step and another place they can screw up. After all, when you give a redbook CD to the replicator they just turn that into a DDP set anyway. This takes so many variables out of the process. Since you're talking about replication and not duplication, please consider switching your delivery format to DDP filesets.
You can upgrade to SoundBlade later, but PMCD's learning curve is much lower so you won't be taking a lot out of your schedule right now. OK, knowing what you do, I'd suggest PMCD for now. Any ideas? There was a thread some time ago but I can' seem to locate it. LaCie - d2 DL DVD±RW with LightScribe - FireWire, Double Layer and Toast® 8 Titanium for MacĪnd I'm looking for the absolute best Firewire drive I can get for my Mac. And WaveBurner is a bit unstable to say the least, I don't have time for hit & miss with my increasingly busy mastering schedule.

What is absolutely essential is something that will give me error free red books that can be used for glass master replication. I've heard that Peak Pro 6 is a bit buggy, but I'm not sure what to think. The Sonic Studio website is a complete mess so I'm not quite sure this is the version I'm looking for, but it probably is and I don't need advanced sound editing features or plug-ins, etc.

The actual audio processing I do in Logic Pro, so I'm exporting 24 bit or 16 bit files (16 bit to WaveBurner at the moment) to the premaster software and compile the cd there. I need something where I can do simple editing, fades, dithering and perhaps insert a single AU plug-in if I need one. I need something better and bug free than WaveBurner, and I only work on Mac.
