![]() These projects usually involve assembling DDP images from individual WAV files that their clients send them claiming to be already mastered. I do a lot of work for a major CD manufacturing broker. Without a true mastering DAW, this can very easily get complicated and messy. If you’re serious about your project, it’s very important that the spacing between the songs and the heads and tails of each song/track remain totally consistent from format to format. Reference mp3s can also include metadata and artwork which a mastering DAW can easily add automatically instead of managing this with another app for each project which can be too time-consuming. You also may need to produce a vinyl pre-master, cassette pre-master, instrumental album master, and reference mp3 files which are sometimes also needed for download code cards that accompany vinyl and cassette releases nowadays. ![]() TIDAL and some others are also rolling out 24-bit/high sample rate streaming. These various master formats are typically a DDP image or physical CD-R for CD production, 16-bit/44.1k WAV files for basic digital distribution, and 24-bit/high sample rate WAV files for distribution via websites like Bandcamp, SoundCloud, as well as the Mastered For iTunes program. There are many portions of the mastering workflow that can be done in any DAW really, but finalizing your project in an audio editor/mastering DAW that is specifically designed for mastering will not only save you time, but it will likely produce better results, and provide consistency between all the various master formats that are required these days. ![]() Not so much sonically, but in the quality control department for sure. Using an audio editor/DAW with mastering focused features will make things like this much easier for you, save time, and improve results. I’m a firm believer that your project isn’t fully “mastered” until it’s production and/or distribution ready without any further processing or changes. Please do not quote directly any correspondence from Support, as that may apply only to your particular circumstances and may lead others down the wrong track.One thing I see a lot on audio forums is a person saying something like “I have all my songs mastered in my DAW (Logic/Pro Tools/Cubase etc.), now I just need to sequence them and convert to 16-bit/44.1k” for digital distribution and CD production. Response time aims to be within 2 working days (US (East Coast) Business hours, generally), but in the current circumstances please allow some more time.Īnd, to help others who run into a similar problem, please let us know what you did to resolve the problem. There is a link at the top of the Search FAQs page to the Technical Support form, for some one to one investigation and help. But note that you will need to keep TR4 installed for your projects that use any of the TR4 modules.Īs for TR5, it is separate from TR4, the standalone program and plug-in have different names and IDs and do not replace TR4 on disk or in your projects.Ĭontact Support, via here. Technical Support can also advise you are uninstalling / removing TR4. Manual removal is not advised as you can run into problems if you subsequently wish to Try or Buy the modules. Please contact Technical Support with the details. I cannot think why a TR4 installation should cause a plug-in from another manufacturer to throw up a problem. If I install it with IK Product Manager, will that get rid of v4? Is there a way to get rid of v4 without installing v5, and without putting my IK installation in a bad state (as warned in that earlier thread)? So, what should I do to get rid of the old T-RackS plug-ins? I do have a v5 license. I can get around that by launching with the Ctrl key pressed, but then it quits with an error about a shell command not having the right arguments (maybe this is due to Apple's recent change from bash to zsh). ![]() The problem is that the v4 uninstaller won't run on Catalina. ![]() Viewtopic.php?f=14&t=25284" onclick="window.open(this.href) return false I've read in the following thread that manual removal of IK plug-ins is not advised: In any case, it's old, and I should remove it. It's causing the plug-in scan in Acon Acoustica to complain about a "Registry error" during the scan (never saw that before on a Mac!). I have an old v4 installation of T-RackS on my computer, which I've recently upgraded to Catalina. ![]()
