I am getting re-energized again with converting stuff. Even though my experience with discWelder Bronze was less than spectacular, the end result REALLY sounded good to me, and I now want to convert all of my reels (to start) to DVD-A and just forget about DTS.
However, to get gapless results, discWelder Steel is needed, I am told. Since this program is $500 (I spent that on SurCode) I want to be sure it is correct. Looking at the manual for both the Steel and the Bronze, they look the same except that Steel lets you do a menu.
Also, I have been reading about WaveLab 5.0, which looks REAL good, and seems to blow the doors off of Steel. I think that WaveLab will let you do the stuff that CD Architect does, as far as laying out the tracks. I found a place on the internet that will sell WaveLab 4.0 Competitive Upgrade (non-academic; must own CEP,SF or other programs) for $219. The upgrade to 5.0 is allegedly $99, making WaveLab 5 essentially $318!! Not bad!
Can anyone here lurking or posting let me know if any of this is correct, as far as the functionality of the programs?
THANKS
