I've been demoing PreMaster CD. Other than the ability to create DDP images I still prefer Waveburner on OS9.
I've been waiting for upgrades to SpectraFoo TDM and a good CD creation program for OSX now for over a year. I'm about ready to bail on Macs as a good platform for mastering and switch to PC.
Wondering what issues the next Mac operating system will have when going to Intel, maybe the PC programs will work there?

As promised, here's a note from our tech guy, Ted, re using SpectraFoo & WB with PTs and OSX:
"At Silverbirch we installed an M-Audio Audiophile 192 card in the same Dual 2.0 G5. We run a SPDIF from Pro Tools 192 to the input of the M-Audio 192. Spectra-Foo standalone OS X works great with the Audiophile card. you just have to load it after Pro Tools starts opening so it doesn't default to the digidesign hardware and crash.
Waveburner 1.1 OSX 10.3.4 is working great with the 6.9 OSX drivers for the Pro Tools Hardware. Obviously you have to shut down Pro Tools or the hardware won't be available to OSX applications.
That's pretty much it.
The same setup worked on the 900mhz G4 so it doesn't require a lot of horse-power on the computer's part
Good luck
Ted"
Thanks to Jerry's post, we have ordered WaveBurner 1.2 and I am looking forward to try that.
