Like I said I have the TL Audio EQ-2 which is nice for a smooth analog sound, drawmer compressor and I also have an A-designs MP2 (original version).Īs far as a pre-mastering program, I want something that will be easy to assemble an album (cross-fades, track order, spacing, etc.) and allow me to use something like Ozone 4 for eq,multi-band compressor,spacial effects, dither.etc for the leveling of things. I do not have access to that equipment anymore so.currently I am just using Itunes to burn disk, which I know is not the best. My last album I mastered in a primarily analog studio using a studer 2 track, Manley Massive Passive, SSL bus compressor, L2 Hardware limiter and Apogee converters to Masterlink.so I am at a loss. In answer to your questions yesterday.I have no 2 track editor. If the AE guys would give WE a facelift, simplify the menus and finish the client side DDP interface (all while keeping cost low).

Fo example, being able to apply plugs independently per layer is much more clear when working with multiple tracks which require different processors. I like the idea of layers, and IMO this approach is actually a superior way to work when you understand it's premise. But it is somewhat odd in it's menu structure of available functions (including the drop down menus). You get the impression that it's very streamlined and stable. WE is best appreciated when you understand it's utilitarian approach. I still think the Bias guys can take Peak from very good to outstanding. Also worthy of mention is some of its included DSP functions are very good, as is its SRC. I love the tool bar, and the ability to customize it's look. It also needs some work with it's method of saving projects and plug-in settings. But the plug-in interface is somewhat awkward and makes me feel insecure at times.

In general, Peak's interface is much more professional feeling and nice looking. I think Bias has done an admirable job improving the program, but it's overpriced IMO and still needs some refinement (at a faster pace too). I applaud the AE guys for being ambitious, listening to users and for keeping cost low. Both will get the job done, but they are totally different. records(?) Not sure if it supports CD-Text or ISRC yet. Reminds me of WaveBurner in it's ease of use, has good editing features, supports plug-ins. has been around for a few years, but the new version 3.0 promises to be a real valid choice. Matthew Foust continues the development of WE and many other excellent audio apps.ĭSP Quattro - from the developers of Spark XL which was an excellent app in it's day (and replacement for SDII). It burns, record, edits, supports CD-Text, ISRC, and DDP. I haven't spent enough time with it to have a valid opinion, but I know there are many dedicated users. Wave Editor - the Layered approach from Audiofile Engineering. ime an indispensable utility tool for any OS X DAW user. I use it mainly for audio data backups, and burning enhanced CDs. Toast has grown far beyond a simple audio burner. Roxio Toast / Jam - old trusty app that works well for very basic assembly and burning.

I liked the sound of Wave Burner Pro for OS9 better. The big drawback is the infamous bit-bug, and you have to buy Logic to get it.

only very basic editing with trimming and slicing regions, a little dicey with plug-ins, supports CD-Text & ISRC & POWr dither, but no DDP. WaveBurner - very easy to use for assembly and crossfades. I've been using this one for 10-12 years since v.1.0 for misc audio tasks, but the new version makes it a real contender.

Lots of editing and file manipulation features. Peak Pro 6 - made a giant leap forward with the new improved Playlist with the familiar checkerboard layout. Here's a feature comparison of the two: Products :: PCM Product Matrix Sonic Studio PMCD - basically the "LE" version of soundBlade. The downside: steep learning curve, expensive, previous versions have been a little buggy. Supports recording, burning, advanced editing, plug-ins, CD-Text, ISRC, DDP, Open Sessions for Enhanced CD, NoNoise II, outstanding waveforms graphics, multitrack option, I could go on. Groovy Blue GUI, Excellent advanced editor with over 20 years development.

Sonic Studio soundBlade - IMO the King Daddy of OSX DAW applications. A feature comparison grid on all these apps would be nice.
