WaveBurner mastering software gets Apple update

A slight upgrade for music makers out there, Apple has introduced WaveBurner 1.6.1, an update to the component application included within Logic Studio.

The upgrade resolves a number of niggles which had been impacting users of the CD mastering and authoring tool. Musicians use this to produce demo discs, premasters, Red Book–standard CDs, and Disc Description Protocol (DDP) files.

Sundry matters updated within this release include:

• Resolves an issue where Mastering Notes were not saved with WaveBurner documents.
• WaveBurner no longer quits unexpectedly if Auto Render is running when a disc is burned.
• Changes to settings in AudioUnit plug-ins are now reliably maintained.
• It is now possible to enter a 12-digit UPC/EAN code.
• WaveBurner no longer sometimes quits unexpectedly if "Revert to saved" is used while a project is rendering.
• Changes to automation curves edited during playback are now immediately audible.
• The checkbox for the option to Save Rendering Data in the WaveBurner preferences is now accessible.
• WaveBurner now reliably adapts the GUI accurately for AudioUnit plug-ins that support resizing.
• The mix lane now updates immediately to reflect changes when working at or near the sample level.
• Automation now reliably remains in sync with audio when projects are bounced or burned.
• Exported DDP images now include the UPC/EAN code.

WaveBurner 1.6.1 (88.4MB) requires Mac OS X 10.5.7 and later and is available for download here.
