Quick question...Will I be able to burn a "data" cd using CDA? For storage purposes of course. Or will I still need to use easy cd creator?

You'll still need something else for data.

The feature set isn't finalized just yet. I'll post more when I can.

Besides CD Architect 5.0 being a standalone Red Book application with a new UI, the following are some of the new features in CDA5 not in VV3:

- Smart track reordering
- Playlist/Tracklist
- Buffer underrun protection
- CD emulation mode
- Image file rendering
- DirectX event effects
- PQ list printing
- Pause time indication when dragging tracks
- User interface enhancements

This has got to be THE BEST decision SF made in a long time!! It’s going 2 make SOOO MANY customers happy again, just like me.

I commend everyone at SF for this excellent decision and want them to know that this will once again turn me into a loyal and satisfied customer.

THANKS and keep up the great work!!

There will be upgrade pricing available for CD Architect 4.0 users. I'll post info on pricing when I get it.

I hope this doesn't mean that Sofo is going to quit adding to the DAO feature set in Vegas, since it was the whole reason I upgraded to version 3.0. I'd really like to see some of these enhancements in Vegas, since I find some of the DAO features a bit clunky compared to my old copy of CDA (which I still use often, BTW).

As a VV3 user, I'm not about to shell out a couple more C-notes just to get the one or two new features I'd like (mostly the CD emulation mode).

Just $.02 from someone who's already kicked a lotta coin into your coffers.

Well I'll Be dipped in **** it's about time! Hopefully the use of drives with burnproof technology will be supported. It sure will be nice not having to use any workarounds to use cd architect. I can't wait to test the new beta of cd architect. I wouldn't mind being among the first. With my nice high speed connection they could send me the beta. Hint, Hint. I doubt that this product will do much for their stock price but it sure will make the cd architect community happy.

Hey Fats, I have VV3 and prefer by far to use CD-A 4 still.

I guess with the plugins (will they be 'per event' ?!?) CD-A 5 becomes a full mastering application.

Will it do CD-Text?

I hope so! See the following link at Philips about the Red Book format (see page 5):

"plugins -- will they be 'per event'?"

Yes, a chain per event, with tails, and a chain on the master.

Sorry, not in this version, but we know there is a demand for CD-TEXT and we hope to add it in a future version.

Your link did not work for me, what was it you were trying to point out?

kryten wrote on 10/10/2002, 5:33 PM
Not that matters anymore...you answered the question already. It's a PDF file with some of the Red Book specs and that CD-TEXT is one of them (this is actually a pricing sheet, but has info on what color book covers what). I didn't think it was part of the original Red Book, so I went to Philips and saw this. It was added later, but is now officially Red Book.

I can think of one thing that VV3 can do that CDA-4 cannot (and that would make CDA-5 an incredible deal)....

VV3 can do a DAO burn (and a TAO burn) directly from a hi-res .wav file (ie: 96/24, or whatever). No need to convert first. The bad thing now about working in VV3 or SF6 is that you have to convert down to 44/16 before you can use CDA-4. It would be AWESOME of CDA-5 would support hi-res files and then convert them on the fly as it does the burn (hint, hint SoFo!!!).

Another cool feature would be to add a second stereo track so that crossfading could be done a little easier.
