Copy protection. No idea if thats part of DDP 2.0 -- That said, I never use it.

DDP Mastering involves the extra step of making sure all tracks flow together as a playlist and assembling the DDP file.

When completed, you will receive a DDP file as well as each individually mastered track, the DDP image can then be used to create CDs.

The mastering house I got this FAQ from only charges an extra 5 to do this.

Spacing of a full album (10 songs) usually takes me about 30 minutes or so by myself or 45-60 minutes if the client is present and really picky about things.

Adding 5 to create a DDP seems a bit low, but some folks factor the time and cost into their regular rate.

Just added a page this afternoon about adding a DDP player that I can give to clients.

I always prefer sending out DDP for several reasons -- 1) Its preferred by most plants, 2) Its absolutely bullet-proof, 3) It takes WAAAAAAYYYY less time to export and upload a DDP set than to author, QC, print and document a set of discs.

My only problem was that few clients have any way to audition DDP, so Id be running off discs anyway.

Now I have an option where the client can audition the file and author their own reference discs from that file.

Im hoping to double my DDP output (and therefore, cut the number of discs in half).

Dead Link Removed).

What is this player you are describing This is all new to me once again.

Now they can audition straight from the DDP, burn their own if they want and just upload the file to the plant.

Its about the only reason Id ever want from Sequoia that Samp doesnt have (and I didnt feel like dropping the extra 2k for DDP export when WL was about 500 or whatever it was).

So if I had Sequoia, Id use WL a little less - But WL is really there for its Swiss Army type stuff.

Heck, you could probably open a JPG as an audio file with it.

Whom ever has this file can import that into a program and presto Do I have it right Is so, how do you encrypt copy protection.

With the DDP player (from Sonoris for exemple), anyone could actually hear what will be on the MASTER as is, spacing between the songs included.

I use Samplitude for everything and Sonoris DDP Creator for the DDP file.

And if you have the right program, then yes, you can play it (or send it right to the LBR at the replication plant).
