Sonoris DDP Software tools released

PieterS · 1st May 2009

We are proud to announce the release of the Sonoris DDP software tools. With the DDP tools Sonoris launches an affordable DDP solution for recording and mastering studio's that is compatible with virtually any DAW software on the market. The industry standard Disc Description Protocol (DDP) is supported by all major CD duplication plants and ensures an error free transfer and processing of CD masters. The software passed tests by leading mastering studio's and by a major duplication plant in the Netherlands.

- DDP Creator

The Sonoris DDP Creator is a standalone Windows CD authoring application. The main features of the DDP Creator are exporting a CD project to a DDP 2.00 fileset and importing and editing existing DDP filesets, including DDP images made with other software, like Sonic Studio HD, SADiE, Sequoia or Pyramix.

Features
- Supporting .wav and .aif files
- Re-ordering of tracks
- Add/edit ISRC, MCN and CD Text per track and/or for the project
- Add/edit track indices, even on the fly during playback
- Playback of tracks
- Adjust and playback transitions between tracks with pre-roll
- Export DDP 2.00 image files
- Import DDP 2.00 image files (loadback)
- Cue Sheet (cue) support
- Audio CD burning
- Audio CD import (ripping)
- Bit for bit CD error checking
- Checksum file created from DDP fileset
- PQ Sheet printing

The price of the DDP Creator is EUR 229.- (about USD 295.-)

More info and a fully functional demo are available at:

DDP Creator - Sonoris Audio Engineering

- DDP Player

The Sonoris DDP Player is a stripped down version of the DDP Creator that imports DDP 2.00 images and Cue Sheet (.cue) files for playback or to burn RedBook compatible audio CD's. This feature allows the user to check a DDP master including all PQ codes, ISRC, MCN and CD Text data before sending it to a duplicator.

The DDP Player is also available as an OEM version for (online) mastering studios that want clients to listen to and approve DDP masters. The OEM version has all features of the regular version, but is tailor made with studio branding like a logo, name, address and website URL and may be given freely to customers.

The price of the DDP Player will be EUR 59.- (about USD 75.-) and EUR 299.- (about USD 390.-) for the OEM version.

Because Sonoris' primary platform for their own audio mastering work is PC, because their stronger base of knowledge is coding for the Windows environment, because ports take a lot of time to do (very often just as much as coding the original app in the first place) and Sonoris is a single person operation - not a company with a lot of resources that can dedicate themselves to ports. So - rather than substantially delay the Windows version they came out with it first.

Best regards,

Many Mac users are now on Intel Macs so firing up XP on BootCamp is not an issue, and with things like VMWare Fusion, you can run the Pc on the Mac desktop like an app.

That's not the point.

This is a *client* services program. When waiting on mastering approvals, there's barely time to teach the client how to use the software, much less install/ debug/ pay for another piece of software to run parallels/ fusion, etc. They won't do it... so, then you're back to paying for a fedex of the ref, waiting on approval, then sending the ref and master. On top of the cost of the program.

I admire the idea of the product, but it's not really viable until it's cross platform. Good to see that work is being done on it though. Could the developer step in and let us know if they are going to eventually port it? If not, I think there is one other company out there working on something similar...
