Well I was waiting for waveburner to get their act together but i don't know. Now what i'm waiting for is Sonic Studio is going to release a native OSX app that uses core audio. It's supposed to debut this month. we'll see.

Sonic Studio CD or Updated WaveBurner or Both !?!

Yeah, Fosse, that sounds really interesting, Sonic Studio CD for the "rest of us." Later this month eh? I'll surely be getting that one, I hear the Sonic DDP is good too, have you used that one? The web promo looks great. Maybe the combination of both Sonics...

I've already ordererd the WaveBurner Update, so I'll do exhaustive tests on that, and post some results.

I used Masterlist CD for almost a decade until a few years ago when I found WaveBurner, that was a quantum leap forward... no, ...a giant leap for ME-kind, esp the EZ x-fades & POW-r dither.

But an affordable Sonic product for Mac.... hmmmmm.

I hear that Sonic bought Roxio, I hope this new Sonic Studio CD is more than just a retro-fitted Toast/Jam!

Don't confuse sonic with Sonic Studio. they are really two different companies.

Well..... I've got what looks like good news!

Got the Waveburner 1.1 (logic 7.1) update in today. After our regular mastering session was finished, Installed the the update, plugged in the XSkey, and BOOM ... Waveburner actually works !!!! Oooohhhh-Yeeeeaaaaah !

Did some edits, fades, looked at the multi-meter, built a few diff playlists, and burned a few test discs with POW-r dither 2.... and it works!!!

However, didn't have time for exhaustive testing, I plan on not burning any actual replication masters for a couple of weeks, til I can work every hidden corner of the software, CD text, ISRC, UPC, extensive crossfade, multiple types of soundfiles, bit depths, and sampling rates,know that it's trustworthy, and proof a few discs.

As with any update, they fix a few bugs, and some new ones may appear, so proceeding with caution is the high road.

I'm still gonna buy the new Sonic Studio CD.

BTW aren't Sonic & Sonic Studio sister companies?

Good to know about waveburner. Now when will spectrafoo be ready for OSX???

They were sister companies but now they are pretty much seperate. Really no relation to one another except in name. Sonic abandoned macs and sonic studio is mac only.

Isn't it Sonic Solutions and Sonic Studio?

I think they are trying to make sonic solutions, sonic DVD. and sonic studio is sonic studio that supports older sonic solutions systems. all very confusing. If it deals with audio, it's sonic studio, if it deals with DVD is Sonic, or sonic dvd or sonic solutions. or something like that. anyway, you get the point, i think.

So I spotted the ad for Sonic Studio CD in the new issue of mix late last night... they're calling it "SoundBlade.CD" Native for OSX, debut-ing at AES Barcelona, etc....

along with the new usable WaveBurner, sounds like it's gonna be a good year for OSX MEs.

Mac is slowely coming back. Plug it in a DAC, hear the snare go wack wack wack.
