The nexStage line provides essential tools for any full service facility. Functionality ranges from “format conversion” or file format transcoding to authoring and premastering. Transcoding from DSD to linear PCM maintains the high level of fidelity captured in the DSD master while allowing you to process and distribute in the PCM space.
Now that DSD recorders are affordable, engineers who appreciate the sound of quality analog gear can finally adopt a hybrid production method that incorporates the best of their analog signal blocks with DSD digital recording and delivery. Wrapping DSD around a traditional analog workflow preserves the subjective “analog sound” while also future –proofing the assets in the digital domain.
nexStage DSDeliver for AudioSuite is a unique software plug–in for Pro ToolsĘ LE and HD/HD Accel users. DSDeliver creates DSD files from Pro Tools PCM audio for SACD production. It upsamples and redithers PCM material, converting 2 to 6 channels of linear PCM into a DSD stream.
nexStage DSDeliver supports a wide range of sample rates, from 44.1 to 192 kHz, and word lengths from 8 to 32 bits. An embedded DST lossless compression ratio estimator provides a fast, accurate estimation of the final SA-CD disc image file size
