Export a valid PQ log from a DDP or CUE file.Check all relevant PQ information (CD TEXT, ISRC codes, etc., etc.).Audition DDP (Disc Description Protocol) files before you send them to the plant.MASSIVE Mastering is excited to present exclusively to our clients, MASSIVE DDP by Sonoris Audio Engineering. That solution is here at MASSIVE Mastering - And it does all these things and more. And above all else, it should do these things while having *zero* impact on the fidelity of the audio. It would need to read and export all primary PQ data - CD TEXT, ISRC codes, etc.

It should allow the client to author a disc from DDP or CUE files for audition purposes or short-run duplication (or even as a production master for professional replication). The ideal solution should do several things: It should allow the client to audition a DDP or CUE "in place" just as it would be auditioned at the mastering facility or the pressing plant. Still, as DDP load back was basically out of reach to the typical client without dropping a good amount of cash, a solution that would make DDP and CUE files the norm as a delivery format from the mastering facility wasn't in the cards. The upsides are many - The downsides are none. Gone are the days of DDP being delivered physically on 8mm Exabyte tape - Now, a simple ZIP'd folder, delivered via FTP, is standard. And the added benefit of being able to be sent electronically to the client - and the plant - saves time, money and materials for everyone involved. The fact that all CD's inherently contain a varying amount of errors, along with the physical issues and limitations (smudges, scratches, age, UV damage, etc.) doesn't disqualify it as a valid delivery format - But the fact that DDP is not at all susceptible to these errors and limitations has always made it a superior choice. That disc would be auditioned by the client and then sent to the plant - and/or the client would simply have to trust that the DDP being sent to the plant was the same audio and data presented on their reference CD-R. The accepted solution, still in practice but becoming increasingly rare, was to supply the client with a production master disc that could be played on any CD player. The big problem with DDP delivery to the client has always been that the typical mastering client, even most recordings studios, had no way of being able to audition the file. Offering DDP as a delivery solution (the ONLY delivery solution for many) is nothing new - The ability of the average client to utilize DDP to its fullest potential was another story - Until now…ĭDP (Disc Description Protocol) File sets are the preferred delivery format of most replication plants.
