    Hey guys! Thank you for stopping by and watching the video! A small correction: at 05:16, the symbol after "ISRC" should be "=" not "|". So it should be "ISRC=1234567890".
    If you want to read a more in-depth tutorial about DDP files making and CD specifications, you can check out my blog post: tinyurl.com/makeddp
    You can download the REAPER DDP template there too!

    Important note. If your CD manufacturer doesn't accept marker data or you don't need or want to include this stuff per track, you must at least have the # sign in the marker description otherwise reaper will ignore it and you'll get a ddp file that is one track the length of your album. The end of disc marker must have the @ sign in it as a minimum, and the start mark is the ! sign.
    Also you can get a free ddp very basic 'player' that will open the DDP file. That's one of the more scary things about DDP in that no one has a ddp player in their car or on their phone. it's just a scary file that could say anything, and you could send off to production with errors in it.

    Fantastic tutorial, I made some DDP's with reaper before and remembered it as quite annoying so I was not too stoked about making a new master as DDP (the music I record rarely gets put on CD, more commonly Vinyl or Tape). This is a great tutorial, short guide that just works. I was gonna point out the missing = in the example in the video but I see you pinned that already.
    I'd like to add that reaper also can play the ddp image file so that you can actually check it proper before sending it off, just drag the IMAGE.DAT into reaper and it will show with meta data and be playable.

  • @glenesis

    Reaper works well as a two-track editor? I'm not surprised. Reaper gets a lot of love from a lot of other pro engineers in my circles. I'll try this. There are no great 2-track editors out there for any platform. I have tried every one of them. Forever, I used Bias Peak to make .sd2f files Jam Image files. I dropped in regions, named the tracks, and then I imported and and burned the images in Toast to send off for duplication. It was SO easy, and insanely accurate to use. Then, BIAS-Inc disappeared. Their ghostly website still sells Peak. They ask some ridiculous $148 price for a Peak 6 license, and they offer zero support. They're freakin nuts.
    Pleased to meet you! I wish every tutorial on UA-cam was as short and valuable as your video is here. New sub! Thank you! Have a fantastic day!

    • @glenesis
      @glenesis 3 роки тому

      @@schoepsms It does, and the dev has been supporting it for 30+ years. I kinda want to buy it just to support his dedication, and I'll probably buy a Reaper license, too. Jam, Toast & Peak were the bomb, though. Final mastering used to be fun for me, and now it's a pain. FWIW, Toast still kicks ass for final assembly, and if you're looking to turn in a burned CD-R to the dupe plant, Toast can't be beat. It has fades, crossfades, and supports AU plugins too. If you can work without looking at waveforms, it's great, and it does have meters. Load your track files, set your final levels, fades and gaps, lay in ISRC, UPC & Text items, and you're off to the races. Toast burns Red Book Audio. Good stuff. Not ruined yet 😂 Cheers! Pleased to meet you!

    Thank you for one of the few truly informative and useful UA-cam videos out there. Well made also, by the way!
    Just one question: Why when rendering do you choose "Full Speed Offline"? Isn 't it safer to go with slower speeds, even at "x1"? Because when I burn CDs to send to some third person to make the DDPs, they always tell me to burn them at "x1" speed if possible, to avoid any digital errors. Doesn 't this apply to rendering from Reaper also?
