Forgive me if this has been discussed in the past.

Now that I can obtain a 96kHz/24bit sampling device for my Mac (M-Audio
makes a Firewire input device), I can now record vinyl records at higher
than CD resolution. I'm sure there are some of you that would like to
debate the merits of such a capability, so let's just say that I have
recorded a 96kHz/24bit file on my Mac.

Is there a straight forward way to make a DVD-Audio recording to a DVD-R?

Is there a straight forward way to do it for $500 or less?

Thanks in advance.

Not on the Macintosh, sorry. The only mastering solution has now been
discontinued...

On a Windows-based system, yes.



Could you be more specific about the windows solution? I would be
willing to buy a new computer if it would give me this capability.

You may also add some editing stuff in order to fine tune your tracks.
Acoustica for instance allows you to declick and denoise LP-sourced
tracks, something very useful with some pressings, and the ubiquitous
CoolEdit - now called Adobe Audition - takes care of the rest.

It seems odd to implicitly claim that Audition can't be used to denoise and
declick LP-sourced tracks.

Of course Audition can suitably declick and denoise, but the process
is much more complex than in Acoustica.

I think its a classic power/flexibility/simplicity trade-off. There are
enough basic variations in the requirements that you can't have all three.

Furthermore, an Acoustica license costs only around USD 30.00... So
why bother ?

I agree that if all you want to do is declick, the ca. $300 tariff for
Audition is unecessary.

OTOH, Audition is an excellent tool for more complex applications,
even if I do still use an aging version of CoolEdit 2000 for a number
of tasks.

Just seeking a clarification of this point.

Thanks.

Acoustica does much more than declick.

Looks like http://www.aconas.com/

A lot would depend on the technical quality of the implementation of the
various effects and format changes.

The best entry-level solution is based around Minnetonka Audio discWelder
Bronze (USD 90.00 street price). It allows to master all types of two
channel LPCM tracks/volumes up to 24-bit/192 KHz and up to 24-bit/48 KHz
multichannel tracks/volumes.

Steinberg's Wavelab 5.0 will have DVD-A burner support.
