I've been reading a lot about itunes burning audio discs etc. but I'm wondering if itunes is 100% reliable for using as the program to create our production master.
We just want to run our demos as CDRs and get about 200 or so and then later one press the full album once we have more money. Any thoughts on specifically if itunes is a reasonable choice of mastering a production copy? |

I don't think it's the right tool to master with. It will burn CDs, but apps alike DSP Quattro, Peak, Toast,and Jam. Allow you to process with audio unit plugs.
Jam allows crossfades, and CD text.

So does Peak 5.
If you're not talking about adding any heavy-duty plug-in processing prior to the burn and simply want the most reliable burning app for churning out audio CDs, you want Toast. |

Many thanks for (mostly) answering my question too. I am just moving over from PC (to MacIntel OS X) where I used Wavelab Essential to construct a 'CD Montage': a sequence of audio file aliases with enough functionality for me: dithering; basic mastering plugins; normalisation etc. So is Toast the equivalent for me on my Mac? |

No, it sounds more like Peak 5 LE is what you want.
