I tried Triumph (thanks, for reasons I outlined above. Get all the track gaps correct (or in one case, no gap).I was responding to your dilemma about having to reproduce fades that you had done in Jam- my suggestion is that if you go back to those sessions and generate the JAM image from JAM (as Toast will not open Jam files) as rendered SD2 files with regions, then you can take those archival files into Waveburner for easy DDP generation when the time comes (as the fade will be in the Jam/SD2 image).Update: I’ve now redone the disc using CD mastering software. I haven't attempted any sort of CD mastering with Wave Editor, yet, so I may end up returning to Toast/Jam out of sheer frustration. However, like I said, I'm probably gonna go the DDP route on the remastered version, which is something neither Toast nor Jam are capable of. You can do the same thing with Toast: just output the Jam file as a disk image, load it up in the latest version of Toast and add whatever you need to add that way. (Until SD2 goes away completely, anyway.) In my experience, that's the only way to "future-proof" your Jam files. Ghobish wrote: Why not use your current setup to have Jam output to "Save As Disc Image.", which is an SD2 file with regions? Waveburner will not only read that file, but will parse it into tracks. So far, everything else I've used it for has worked out quite well. I'm not sure what the complaints would be about, but I haven't attempted mastering a CD in it, yet, either. On the audio CD end, they pretty much added all the major features from Jam, plus, you can now add AU effects and do down-conversions to CD from higher-end formats (I would still recommend doing those in a better-suited program). If you haven't used any version since 6, you're gonna be in for a bit of a shock, because they've really added a lot of stuff since then. I currently use Toast 11 Titanium, which has served me well for loads of different things (data, DVD video, quickie audio CDs). I was checking out the reviews for Toast 11 on Amazon and there are a lot of complaints about the recent versions, but perhaps the dissatisfied are trying to use features that I'm not particularly interested in. Which version of Toast are you guys using? I have loved and still use Toast 6 on my old iMac, but it won't run for me under Snow Leopard on my new iMac. Meanwhile, Toast incorporated a lot of the great features from Jam, and if somebody wanted to master a CD quickly and cheaply, I'd definitely recommend that over DP. I'm currently dreading the day when I will have to replicate every single fade, setting and song position in Wave Editor for the remastered version, since I plan on using a DDP file as opposed to a master disc or disc image this time around. toast image, then open up what amounts to a completed CD in Toast), and my main gripe with Jam was that, on my old machine - the one that still runs Jam and its compatible version of Toast - my old burner was apparently incapable of burning the ISRC and UPC codes needed on a master disc. The frustrating thing is, the newer versions of Toast won't open old Jam files (you would pretty much have to create a. I mastered my album in the last version of Jam (which, in a puzzling case of reverse-engineering, required Toast in order to burn CDs) and it was, hands-down, the best CD burning software I ever used.
