HOFA CD-Burn.DDP.Master
Karlsdorf, Germany
What it is
HOFA CD-Burn.DDP.Master is a standalone mastering and pre-mastering application for preparing CD, DDP, vinyl, and online releases in one project. It burns Red Book audio CDs and creates DDP images containing CD-Text, ISRC, and EAN information. Editing includes cutting, trimming, fades, crossfades, and track metadata. The app supports album sequencing, multi-CD projects, multi-session CDs, and batch processing of CDs or DDP images. It exports DDP images, WAV, AIFF, and MP3 files, and can prepare an iTunes itmsp package. HOFA plugins are included and their parameters can be automated. The app connects to HOFA DDP Player Maker for creating DDP players for client review. The standard edition does not list third-party VST3 or AU plugins, plugin chain presets, clip-based plugin processing, or true peak normalization; those are listed for PRO. It runs on macOS 10.13 or later and Windows 10 or later. The listed plan costs 89,90 € once, including VAT, with a 14-day free trial. HOFA says activation and use can work offline, including licenses on USB sticks.
