This

a
view
of
Serif
Sound Mastering's primary digital audio workstation,
SonicStudio HD
1.9.1. Despite
its relative maturity in the world of software, it remains an industry
workhorse and still provides state-of-the-art editing features,
loop-through workflow, and delivery formats including DDP v. 2.0
(data folder of CD image files), DDP v. 1.0 (Exabyte cassette),
digital audio
on CD-R,
Jam® image,
and
timed tape.
It is a direct descendent of the first DAW, invented by Dr. James "Andy" Moorer, who also developed LucasFilm's SoundDroid workstation, that they used to edit the audio for "Return of the Jedi," among others. SonicStudio HD's 48 bit audio bus, which provides three times the amplitude resolution of compact disc audio, gives its proprietary EQ, gain modification, and HD Sample Rate Conversion calculations a substantial amount of precision, allowing for natural sounding adjustments, even at extreme settings.
This
SonicStudio
HD
workstation
is
also
authorized for Manual operation of SonicStudio's
famous NoNoise® suite of processors, including
DeClicking, DeCrackling, as well as General noise reduction.
(Serif
Sound
also
uses
Izotope
RX
for Spectral Repair, DeHiss, DeHum, and other
related processes.)
SonicStudio's Edit Fade Mode window provides highly precise, derivatives for quick, non-destructive adjustment of fades, up and down, of each segment of audio.
SonicStudio's
Edit
Decision
List
window
allows
for audio tracks to be positioned and
edited quickly and precisely, and for track and index markers to be
placed anywhere
during the program, within Red Book specifications. The
Delivery features ensure accurate
track number, start/stop location, and elapsed time (Q codes)
programming, and can verify the master's actual data against the
EDL. ISRC and UPC metadata are also programmable. A PQ code
document
generated by SonicStudio is available for each master.
In addition to SonicStudio, Serif
Sound can play files the sample rates of which that are different from
the target (rate) into the console from one of several other DAWs on a
separate PC, such as Samplitude or Pro Tools LE.
Furthermore, the Pro Tools LE machine can funtion as a host for third
party plug
ins, for stream-through processing, just as if the plug-in were a piece
of hardware.
For DVD-V titles, we use Apple DVD
Studio Pro, and for DVD-A titles, we use Minnetonka
Audio discWelder.
