HOFA CD-Burn.DDP.Master offers a straightforward solution for creating audio CDs and DDP images, available as both a standalone application and a plugin. The software supports drag-and-drop functionality for audio files, which can be arranged across two tracks with options for cuts, fades, and crossfades. Users can set markers automatically based on silence detection or manually adjust them to ensure precise track segmentation.

This tool supports burning red book standard audio CDs and generating DDP images with comprehensive metadata options including CD-Text, ISRC, and EAN/UPC codes, along with Japanese CD-Text support. It also handles various audio formats and sample rates, offering features such as automatic pause detection, TPDF dithering with noise shaping, and export capabilities to multiple audio formats like WAV, AIFF, FLAC, Ogg-Vorbis, and MP3. Additional utilities include loudness metering compliant with EBU R128, true peak level monitoring, and correlation metering to maintain high audio quality.

The latest version expands on previous releases by supporting multi-CD projects ideal for long audio content and enhanced export options tailored for vinyl production and online distribution. It includes improved editing and playback features such as multi-session CD compilation, track transition playback, and a refined normalization process. The interface has been redesigned for better usability, and the software offers seamless integration with HOFA DDP Player Maker, plus the ability to export detailed tracklists as PDFs. Compatibility extends across PC and Mac platforms in both 32 and 64-bit versions, with English and German language support.
