PreMaster CD 3.3 Build 3260

PreMaster CD 3.3 Build 3260 is considered as a simple yet useful desktop premastering application that opens AIFF, WAV, BWF and SD2 stereo files as well as compressed formats like Apple Lossles and FLAC. It edits, sequences and provides essential PQ support while costing one third less than more full featured product, soundBlade. Yet, it shares the same engine that all products use, for the best fidelity bar none.

The program features Sonic Studio’s powerfully fast user interface, allowing any Mac running OS 10.4.11 or later to open, play back, edit and adjust gain of audio files. In addition, PreMaster CD joins soundBlade as the only Mac OS application 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-Digital Audio–formatted discs are playable by your clients on any audio CD transport worldwide.
