Hi.
Sorry if this has been answered ad nauseum, but I'm totally confused about which mastering programs/CD writing programs to purchase, and if I need both.
I am currently using an older version of Sound Forage and a free version Easy CD Creator from Roxio which came with my burner. I need a mastering program that can keep up with a bunch of new plug-ins I've got (Waves) and I'd like to be able to record quality CDRs and be able to take advantage of manipulating pre-gap or lead-in times (backwards time counter).
So far i've heard about E-Magic's Wavelab, Steinberg's Waveburner, Sonic Foundry's Cd Architect and considered getting a new version of Sound Forage.
So I'm gettng confused. Can anyone reccomend for me a good path to take here? If I shell out money for Sound Forage, do I need CD Architect as well? and vice versa? Are there other programs I've missed? As said before, I'm looking for a high-quality set up, but I don't want to spend money needlessly.
Thanks!!!
