*Please be aware of the output level control within the DDP Player . Set it to full (0.0 dB) when comparing levels to other sources on your computer like iTunes or Windows Media Player. The output level control doesn’t affect exported files or burned CDs, it only controls playback level from the software. It’s recommended to set the output level to 0.0dB and control the listening level via your computer.

If you plan to distribute your music via Bandcamp, SoundCloud, or would like to do a special Mastered For iTunes release. It’s recommended to request higher resolution master files if you haven’t done so already.

**Most online distribution services require WAV files to start with, and they take care of converting the WAV files to various data-compressed formats. Always start with a true WAV file for digital distribution. Converting an mp3 file to WAV does not add the resolution or sound quality back that was lost in the mp3 conversion.

Once a file is converted from WAV to mp3, the quality is lost forever. CLICK HERE for more info on format needs.

To save each track as a WAV file from the HOFA DDP Player, select “save all tracks as audio files” in the File menu of the DDP Player.

The reason for using the DDP and DDP Player is so that you can accurately listen to the master in terms of track spacing, track markers, and audio quality. You can also easily view all the titles and info to check for errors. Using the DDP Player eliminates the potential for accidentally altering the spacing between songs or creating sound quality issues, which can easily happen when working with single WAV or mp3 files in iTunes or other consumer media players.

In most cases, a CD plant will replicate discs from this exact same DDP file, so what you’re hearing and seeing on this DDP (or any revised versions) is exactly what will be on your replicated CDs. Even if you are not pressing CDs, DDP is still one of the best ways to audition a master because the sound quality and space between tracks can’t be modified accidentally by the user.

HOFA DDP Player will display the track times, CD-Text, and ISRC codes (if applicable) as well as other artist and song info for the entire project .

Please note that iTunes will not automatically recognize the info for your burned CD until it is manually submitted to the Gracenote Database.

After this digital master is approved I will make masters for any other formats you requested such as 24-bit vinyl pre-master, instrumentals, or a higher resolution digital master for Bandcamp, SoundCloud, Mastered For iTunes etc.

***I will have all of your mastering files backed up and archived on two separate hard disks for any future needs after the project is finished, but please be sure to keep track of the mastered files I’ve sent you. I will only be able to host them in my Dropbox folder for a few weeks before they will be removed and the links will no longer be active.

It would be appreciated if you would safely store all your mastered files on your computer or hard disk(s). There are also a variety of cloud storage services such as Dropbox or Box where you can simply and securely store your masters long-term. Physical CD-R is not a great way to store masters in my opinion. You’ll be better off in the future saving the WAV files and/or DDP on a hard disk or cloud service.

If you are wondering why your iTunes or other computer software will not recognize the song/artist info of your burned or replicated CDs, please follow this link:

There is also a DDP Player for iOS devices that may interest iPhone and iPad users. Here is a link to more info about it:

The Treelady Studios Master CD Creator is a standalone CD authoring application that allows you to make identical master CD copies from your PC or Mac. Built upon the Sonoris Audio Engineering DDP Player, this software can import DDP 2.0 images and Cue Sheet files for review and CD burning. DDP images are a special type of data file that contains the entire mastering project: audio, fades, spacing, track listing, etc. Perhaps the best reason to use DDP files is they are a bit-for-bit copy of the audio on our mastering editor. Even master CDs (sometimes called PMCD) cannot guarantee this level of accuracy. (DDP is a registered Trademark of DCA, Inc.)
