Basic Mastering Packages
Some of my stuff gets sent off to a regular mastering house, but I've got a series
of lower-budget projects currently in the pipeline that require "mastering" done in house. In the old days for projects like this, I used CD Architect 5.2, generated a CDR, and sent that off to the plant. I'd like to be a little more current, however, and generate DDPs to dropbox to the plant (and send proofs to clients), and also generate higher-quality MP3s, hopefully all from the same package. Also, current generation comps and EQs tailored for mastering would be a nice inclusion. I've done a few web searches; Ozone comes up but it's not clear that the product does the DDP and MP3 generation. Any suggestions based on your own direct experience? Thanks in advance, Frank Mobile Audio -- |

Thanks in advance, Frank Mobile Audio -- . I've used Audacity a lot for basic stereo editing. It does mp3 encoding, I don't know about the other requirements, but it's a gpl licence open source product, so it won't cost you anything to check out. It is surprisingly capable. -Angus. |

As I feel, Frank, software is only as good as its user. I use Goldwave (.com) for my mastering. I'm so well pleased with it; never, ever, recall it crashing (XP). Used it for a number of years (with annoying "tolls") to make snippets, actually, about the same time MP3s were gaining popularity. Decided Chris (author) should be rewarded, so I finally purchased it. Jack Thanks in advance, Frank Mobile Audio -- . |

I'm still pulling PMCDs out of an ancient Sonic system. It still works, although at the AES show I had a representative from a museum ask about my possibly donating it, which is not a good sign. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

Besides, if the Big Boy audio software people don't offer it, it's near obsolete. Jack david |

Very sad that Sony seem to have lost interest in CD Architect, because if they tweaked it to provide Save As DDP, and VST without wrapper, if would be pretty near the perfect app. geoff |
