For any serious real‑time plug‑in use, a G3 should be considered the practical minimum.
#WAVEBURNER MAC OS#
To use Waveburner Pro you'll need a Power Macintosh computer running Mac OS 8.6 or higher and at least 16Mb of free RAM.

Installation is from a CD‑ROM and the copy protection requires the CD‑ROM to be placed in the drive when prompted, every three months or so. Furthermore, a bundled suite of mastering plug‑ins now provides multi‑band compression, limiting, EQ and denoising. However, it does provide an intuitive audio manipulation environment, the ability to create level changes, fades and crossfades, and now has support for VST plug‑ins. The editing side of Waveburner Pro is still in many ways less comprehensive than that of other programs as it's mainly designed to deal with completed songs rather than to 'assemble edit' songs from bits of alternative takes (though this is possible with care). Waveburner Pro also supports CD Text for adding album names, track names, performer/artiste names, composer, arranger and messages. CDs burned using Waveburner Pro can be used as production masters by many CD duplicating houses. Waveburner Pro is a Mac‑only audio CD‑burning application designed for compiling individual songs into a finished album, and is capable of producing Red Book CDs complete with copy prohibit, UPC/EAN and track ISRC codes where required.

They've now launched a new and improved version of the latter as a separately available application. Paul White tests the new, improved version.Įmagic's Audiowerk 2 Production Kit, reviewed in SOS in July 1999, introduced both the Audiowerk 2 audio card and Waveburner, a newly developed application for compiling and burning audio CDs. It seems like such a little program to support and it did everything that is needed.Emagic's Waveburner CD‑writing package has grown to incorporate new editing features and powerful plug‑in support, but retains its intuitive user interface. PS Why in the world did Apple abandon Waveburner. Otherwise I will get Wavelab Pro within the next couple of days. I wonder if there is any technical argument against Wavelab though.If you have any then please post them. On top of all that I also qualify for the edu version so it's not as expensive for me as it is in normal resale and being a fulltime musician I can deduct it in tax. Wavelab was also updated to version 9.5 very recently which is reassuring when considering the future. I am more interested if the programs can actually do what I expect them to and Wavelab Pro seem to be the only one that can do it all.Īlso, I already have all the best (or at least most expensive, UAD, Sonnox, Plugin Alliance etc) mastering plugins and I know them very well so I am not at all interested in what the programs can do in terms of native plugins. I am not worried about the depth and learning curve since I have worked with these kind of things for over 30 years.

I have googled it quite a lot and the picture is that people in the "one song at the time" business generally use Ozone and in people who line up and compile albums tend to use Wavelab Pro. I forgot to mention that I do this professionally so I am not looking for a "cheap" solution but more an industry standard. Back in the day Wavelab and Waveburner were competitors so I would guess that it can easily match the ancient Waveburner but I just want to make perfectly sure. Add ISRC and the other hidden codes and then finally either burn it or save it as DDP,Ĭan Wavelab (or maybe something I haven't stumbled upon) do these things. What I need is something like Waveburner where you can take ie a 45 min live file, index it into 12 songs (with individual names), treat each song with individual plugins (VST2/3, I know Steinberg is not crazy about AU), add plugins on the master that goes to all the tracks. Also, It doesn't support DDP or anything that has to do with the actual indexing and matching the tracks to each other in terms of levelling, minor eq touch up etc. Ozone is based on "one track at the time" which is not what I'm looking for. The only program that I can find where you can actually master albums and not only single tracks is Wavelab or is there something else that could be recommended.
#WAVEBURNER UPGRADE#
Since the latest system upgrade Waveburner no longer works here so it's time to get another program with the same possibilities. Hi and sorry for posting in the "wrong" place but this is the place where there is still action
