- Feb 20, 2008 I would do this in Wave Burner if I was to master a CD in the 'red book' CD standard (44.1 - 16 Bit). You can use all your Mastering plugs in there, and import as many tracks a CD can hold, crossfade them, set index points - whatever.
- Dec 11, 2011 4.) A CD burning or CD authoring software capable of burning Red Book CD standard. There are lots of options, unfortunately no free software can do this. You cannot just use any CD burning software because not all of them have features that can be used to produce red book standard compliant CD.
- This isn't commonly done, but it's possible if you're mastering directly to Red Book CD. The end of Track 1 is actually coded as Track 2, Index 0. When this point is reached, the CD player starts counting backwards (the countdown) until the next tract starts at Track 2, Index 1.
- Dec 01, 2011 While the CD industry is effectively collapsing, the job still has to be done somehow. Andreas Ruge, a recording engineer from Germany, released an update to his DDP mastering tools for Linux, Windows and Mac. The project contains several command-line tools to manipulate DDP images that are used for Red Book CD audio mastering.
Cd Mastering Software
The most obvious thing to send to a CD mastering house is a 16-bit/44.1kHz Red Book audio CD-R, but there are various other options. Nearly all will still accept DAT tapes, while another option is to burn a CD-ROM containing stereo 24-bit WAV or AIFF files.
