In the process of switching from PC/SonicFoundry (doing compilations) to PowerBook/Motu828/?? (recording live DJ set from CDJ600 mixer) and believe that WaveBurner Pro is the best program for what I want to do, but the OSX version is in a nebulous state of release. Does anyone have connections at eMagic that could shed some light. I don't want to wait 9 months for that baby. Is there another good OSX CD burning tool that allows you to include CD Text data?
 On a slightly related topic, does anyone feel like sharing their insight on recording software? I could, of course, drop another huge chunk of change and get Logic Platinum 6, but that might be MAJOR overkill for me. I don't want to do any Midi (at least, not right now), but I do want to record, and edit waveforms... I don't want to settle for lesser quality, but don';t want to buy extra functionality if I don't have to (sometimes you can only get the quality if you also buy the functionality because manufacurers bundle the two insted of just making all their products of the same quality caliber, and just letting folks upgrade to more capability. Am I wrong?) Many, many thanks, guys... first round's on me if we can solve these issues (Who's in DC?)  subScotty -------------------- 2GhzG5.2GB.250GB.GeForce7800.23"HD

You wouldn't really use Waveburner for recording, if by recording you mean multitracking. You can use it for two-track recording, though.
It comes with some decent mastering effects, such as the multipressor (multi-band compressor) and other useful mastering/editing tools. If you know how to use them, you can get excellent results. Most of the FX included have since turned up in Logic Platinum 6, which leads me to suspect that either (a) Emagic have got some barnstorming new features for Waveburner OS X when they finally release it or (b) there isn't going to be a Waveburner OS X. Whatever, they're going to have to go some to beat Peak 4 - I got the Pro Edition recently and I love it. Doesn't do CD Text, though, but it does everything else. If all that mastering power still doesn't make your tracks sweet enough for you and if you really do have $1,000 burning a hole in your pocket, you can always spring for the Waves Mastering bundle and plug that into either Peak in OS X or Waveburner in OS 9. |
