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. 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. That disc would be auditioned by the client and then sent to the plant - andor 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 fact that all CDs inherently contain a varying amount of errors, along with the physical issues and limitations (smudges, scratches, age, UV damage, etc.) doesnt 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. 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. Gone are the days of DDP being delivered physically on 8mm Exabyte tape - Now, a simple ZIPd folder, delivered via FTP, is standard. 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 wasnt in the cards. 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. 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). It would need to read and export all primary PQ data -- CD TEXT, ISRC codes, etc. And above all else, it should do these things while having zero impact on the fidelity of the audio. That solution is here at MASSIVE Mastering - And it does all these things and more. MASSIVE Mastering is excited to present exclusively to our clients, MASSIVE DDP by Sonoris Audio Engineering.
