Best Cd burning Software in Mojave?

[lampmusic]

What is the best Cd burning software these days. We typically burn a Master CD for clients and occasionally setup CD text for small run CD duplication.



I'm a long time Toast user. I have not tried toast 18 that's out now.


I've also noticed Wavelab Essential

Toast works for me. I haven't tried it on Mojave but I don't know why it wouldn't work fine.

Toast 18 has no CD burning related enhancements compared to Toast 17.

Especially a (IMHO crucial) feature for exporting the track list in whatever useful format is still missing since Roxio/Corel integrated the former separate "Jam" CD Authoring app into Toast many years ago.
With Jam 6, you could at least print the track list as PDF. Now with Toast you can send only a @#&*!! screenshot (bitmap) of the track list to someone else creating the CD cover, so they can't copy&paste e.g. complex track names or the track lengths anymore in order to avoid typos.

Toast 17 installs and runs fine on Mojave, so in case someone still opts for Toast, get V17 whenever it's offered cheaper than 18 if only used for burning/authoring CDs.

Anyone ever tried CD burning in Studio One?
That's what I bought it for, but have never had to use it yet.

DSP Quattro user here on Mojave. Everything works, although the program itself feels kinda clunky.
I miss CD Architect.

Stay away from DSP Quattro 5. There's a few bugs Stefano refuses to address. One is saving projects. You can't depend on the program remembering where you told it to save so if you're in the habit of using the Mac shortcut of cmd-S to do a save you will be surprised when you find out it didn't save it to where you thought it was supposed to save it.

The other bug is it doesn't properly recognize names for custom presets you make whether inside the program or not. They all come up with a generic name 'untitled'. Frustrating. And we STILL don't have a pencil tool for editing waveforms. The batch processor is pretty good though.

After spending too much time with the program and developer I'm doing all my CD assemblage in Wavelab Essentials.

I also miss CD Architect from when I ran a Windows system. Shame Sony never ported it over to the Mac or even updated the Windows version - I think it's still at v5.2.


Alex:
There's a couple of announced updates to Quattro - you have to go to the site and download them.

I've been using Sound Forge Pro for Mac along with Burn for creating reference CDs. I too wish CD Architect was ported over to MacOS and integrated into SFP for Mac.

I use Studio One to burn one offs for clients all the time. There was an issue a while back (It would cut like 2 seconds off song 2 always or some nonsense)... but its worked fine since (and before that one 2-3 week period too).

I also use it to do DDPs and stuff for labels/replicators. It's also great when you need to open up a release, and shotgun 10 file formats to the powers that be (mp3s for this one, waves for that, AIFFS for these, 192s for those, 320s for that etc).

I also use HOFA. But I find it more clunky visually.

My biggest gripe with Studio One is you cannot say "burn 10"... you have to hit burn and wait each time. Sucks when I need to burn 10 for a client and can't just say to a helper "hey when it opens, stick another disc in".

pls look at HOFA CD Burner. the design is rather special but workes great. all professional functions there and all own external plugins for use.
