Emagic's Waveburner CD‑writing package has grown to incorporate new editing features and powerful plug‑in support, but retains its intuitive user interface. 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. They've now launched a new and improved version of the latter as a separately available application. hence my comment about an illegal version of waveburner. 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. Waveburner was only available as part of the Logic Studio DVD package which, from what you have said, you didnt buy as you bought Logic Pro 9 online via the app store. CDs burned using Waveburner Pro can be used as production masters by many CD duplicating houses. Waveburner Pro also supports CD Text for adding album names, track names, performer/artiste names, composer, arranger and messages. 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). Its a great app for making Audio CDs, but that doesnt mean its easy. 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. WaveBurner is the often overlooked CD Mastering utility that comes with Logic Studio. Furthermore, a bundled suite of mastering plug‑ins now provides multi‑band compression, limiting, EQ and denoising. 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.
Waveburner app 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. For any serious real‑time plug‑in use, a G3 should be considered the practical minimum.
