Kim Olesen Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Ouch. I still use waveburner for DDP authoring. It says to reinstall but i am not even sure i have the old L9 package. Any good ninja mind tricks that’ll allow Waveburner to run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnaud Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 This won’t help u I’m aware, WB has been buggy for ages and unreliable IMHO. I guess it’s no longer supported by Apple, at least was not updated for a very long time. I’m using HOFA CD-Burn.DDP.Master https://hofa-plugins.de/en/plugins/cd-burn-ddp-master/ This is the new version of their ‘CD & DDP Master’ previous app, should be High Sierra compatible though I can’t tell for sure.

Been thinking of getting that one, knowing WB wouldn’t last forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JurgenFrenz Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 CD mastering has become MUCH less attractive as close to nobody buys CDs any longer. I copied Waveburner over from 2 systems now (we could just copy/paste the app as no special library installs were necessary) because I occasionally needed it. Buggy? I am surprised, I _never_ came across a bug that I would remember, it just worked well enough to get the job done (zooming is quite a pain). If Apple decides to drop it what can we do except buying another app (thanks for the link btw). For the time being I celebrate to stick to Sierra then...

Arnaud Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 You're right about decline re: demand for CDs Jurgen. The only reason why I need a pro, reliable flawless tool for DDP images is to have some batch of factory-produced CDs of my album to send to the few radios that requested them. I'd rather have it done in a pro way from end to end, and won't take the risk that an image is rejected by the factory.

MikeTheKnight Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Can anyone recommend a good external CD drive for burning audio CDs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnaud Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 @Kim, good to hear you this solution seems fine. @MikeTheKnight, I simply use an Apple SuperDrive. Perfectly OK with all kinds of basic tasks. Any batch of pro-quality CDs, I have printed by a pro factory, though (sending them a DDP image).

I didn’t even need to read the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemoArt Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 It is not only, that each and every update sized down the Logic 9 version, the last but one killed soundtracks, which is now completely deinstalled under Sierra and now waveburner is shot down. Thanks to Apple. In Windows the old ones are still readable over 25 years and Apple forced to buy and buy or have NO alternative. When Apple cut down the old one, where are the alternatives? Logic was the reason why I chosed a system change for Apple and not continuing the Gates softly ware .... Final Cut is also a battle field of "not been satisfied" ... For WB is a HOFA burner to expensive. For old Logic files, what should I do. I'm really pis ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 If you want to use the old Logic Pro Studio software you need to keep an older version of the OS going in one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution techygeezer Posted February 23, 2018 Solution Share Posted February 23, 2018 Ouch. I still use waveburner for DDP authoring. It says to reinstall but i am not even sure i have the old L9 package. Any good ninja mind tricks that’ll allow Waveburner to run? I have just purchased and tested HOFA and can confirm it is an absolute steal and a brilliant program for £64! It is much better than Waveburner, which I have used since 2011 and CD Architect that UI used for years before that. As a professional music producer, I recommend this product.

fusbur Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 You could also look at Aurchitect Triumph. Try out a free demo. Think it's around the same price as Hofa, just works a little differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techygeezer Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Thanks for that but I have Hofa and it works well so problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
