CD’s may be fine for duplication, but why would a mastering engineer accept a CD? Thats asking them to master a 16 bit version of the thing that was most likely recorded and mixed at 24 bit. And while Duplication houses will accept CD’s a lot of them ask for this format now as its basically as i understand it an audio image of the CD with the tracks laid out in correct order and with the appropriate gaps between tracks. This also provides them with the audio in the same high quality it was in after mastering so its not down converted till its put on the CD and each CD is made from that file instead of copying a 16 bit CD for the duplications. That bing said most mastering engineers will take the stereo wav of your final mix for mastering and provide you/the duplication house with the DDP file so unless your friend is mastering stuff and sending them off to a duplication house themselves there mastering engineer should be able to provide the final disc in DDP format. Also Reaper supports exporting/Rendering to the DDP format so thats another tool you could use to do it on the mac if you can’t get your hands on a copy of wav burner. . > On Nov 10, 2015, at 11:26 PM, Poppa Bear <[email protected]> wrote: > > Honestly in all of the projects that I have been involved in over the last > twenty years that went to a CD duplication press or mastering house, wave > files, ADAT or a CD has always worked just fine. > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf > Of Christopher-Mark Gilland > Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 2015 7:15 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: A question about bouncing > > I was honestly kind a wonderring that same thing, Nick, to be frankly honest > with you. > > Chris. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Nick Gawronski" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 2015 10:48 PM > Subject: Re: A question about bouncing > > >> Hi, That is strange that a CD duplication house does not want a master >> disc as everyone I have looked at did as their view point was the master >> disc had the exact layout of the duplicated or replicated discs that you >> wanted to sell to users or that you wanted them to make for you for >> whatever you were needing them for.
