  • Editing & Premastering for Mac OS X

    PreMaster CD is a host–based premastering application that opens AIFF, WAV, BWF and SD2 stereo files. It edits, sequences and provides essential PQ support.

    The program features Sonic Studio’s familiar and accessible NGC™ user interface, allowing any Mac running OS X 10.4.3 or later, to open, play back, edit and adjust gain of audio files. In addition, PreMaster CD joins SonicStudio•DDP as the only Mac OS applications to save completely compliant DDP image file sets back to disk.

    Of course, PreMaster CD also creates “CD refs” in the background, so your system is freed up to do other work. These CD-DA–formatted Orange Book discs are playable by your clients on any audio CD transport.

    PreMaster CD is OS X–native for stable, secure operation. We invented desktop premastering so you can trust our knowledge and, trust the transparency.
