The Sonoris DDP Creator is a versatile, user-friendly application for creating high-quality audio masters, compatible with nearly any DAW. Whether you’re assembling professional Red Book-compliant CDs or vinyl masters, you can easily import and export DDP 2.00 images and Cue Sheet (cue) files, burn and rip CDs, and even upload and share your masters in the cloud.
CD authoring
With the DDP Creator you can assemble a RedBook compatible CD by just dropping mastered 16 bit wav or aif files on the workspace and set the track order. After that you can adjust the spaces between tracks and audition this by playing back the transition from one track into another. Then edit the PQ points, ISRC, MCN and CD-Text data. Finally export to DDP, Cue Sheet or CD and print a PQ sheet if needed.
Enhanced CD
The Pro option allows even more control and adds Enhanced CD support to the DDP Creator. You can create Enhanced CD DDP filesets from within the program by adding an ISO file to an audio project. This can be an (Hybrid) ISO file made with for example Toast or an ISO file made with the DDP Creator by converting a folder holding the data files.
DDP export
With the DDP Creator you can assemble a RedBook compatible CD by just dropping mastered 16 bit wav or aif files on the workspace and set the track order. After that you can adjust the spaces between tracks and audition this by playing back the transition from one track into another. Then edit the PQ points, ISRC, MCN and CD-Text data. Finally export to DDP, Cue Sheet or CD and print a PQ sheet if needed.
DDP import
Besides DDP export the DDP Creator can import (loadback) a DDP fileset too, including DDP images made by other software, like Bias Peak Studio (XT), Sonic Studio HD, SADiE, Sequoia or Pyramix. This feature allows you to check the project including all PQ codes, ISRC, MCN and CD-Text data. You can edit the project, playback tracks and export to DDP, Cue Sheet or burn a Redbook compatible CD from it.
Compatibility
Most DDP software packages or add-ons are very expensive, but the DDP Creator is competitively priced. Together with the powerful import features it is the perfect choice for everyone who needs a professional CD authoring and DDP solution without the need to switch to another DAW software. For example, you have assembled a CD in your favorite audio editor but need to deliver a DDP fileset? Simply add audio files or use one of the powerful import features like .cue Cue Sheet files from Wavelab, CD Architect .wav image files or Pyramix .pmi files or rip a CD and then export the project to DDP.
Enhanced CD
Besides audio data a CD can also hold computer data like images, videos, songtexts or even program files. A CD with such additional data is called an Enhanced CD (a.k.a. CD Extra or CD Plus). It is possible to add data in the space before the first track or as a separate data session on the CD. The DDP Creator supports the extra session as this is the most common and compatible format. When an Enhanced CD is played back in a normal CD player it will
play just like any other audio CD. But when this CD is opened on a Windows PC or Mac it will show the data session as an extra drive.
The Pro version will unlock full Enhanced CD DDP support. With this option you can open and export Enhanced CD DDP files and CD’s. Adding a data session to an existing DDP fileset is also possible.
Vinyl
A very convenient feature of the Pro version is vinyl mastering mode. This mode is active as soon as you choose one of the tracks as start of side B of your vinyl project. This effectively splits the project in a side A and B. A stereo phase correlation meter will appear and you can use it to prevent any problems in the cutting stage. Exporting the project will result in 2 audio files, 1 for each side, in 16, 24 or 32 bits wav, aif or flac. format. Generate a pdf tracklist to send with the master files to the cutting plant. Adding a side C and D takes the vinyl functionality even further enabling the export of a double album.
Never clip again
Encoding audio to .mp3 or .m4a (AAC) can introduce clipping even if the source audio is free from clipping. To prevent this you have to attenuate the source audio. But how much attenuation is needed? This is where No Clip Technology will help. It will encode and on-the-fly decode and analyse the decoded audio. It then adjusts the pre-encoder attenuation by the correct amount to prevent clipping.
iOS app
An iOS version of the DDP Player is included. The installation is simple, just download the free DDP Player app in the Apple App Store and use your serial number to unlock it. The DDP Player for iOS supports DropBox for easy DDP file import.
Dropbox Support
Export your master and upload directly to Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon S3 or Microsoft OneDrive. Save space by zipping files before uploading and share projects seamlessly with your clients. Make your workflow smoother and more efficient!
