People who don't use your application will not complain. But I can
tell you that there is a big market (i.e. anyone using Pro Tools) for
a full-featured (i.e. ISRC codes etc.) CD-burning application which
can burn a CD directly from 24-bit split-stereo files. Peak (which I
own) and DSP Quattro (tried the demo) don't do it. I'm still looking
for something newer than MasterList CD that does. Please consider
this market as you continue development.

>XO Does not read PT regions. Why not sequence in XO Wave?

Because I use Pro Tools for multitracking and mix back into the same
session as the source files. I have all my markers etc. in the
session which simplifies navigation and re-defining regions in mix
files. I can import the mix track into a 44.1k session and retain all
that marker and region information. I can't see any feature of XO
Wave which I am missing in Pro Tools and which would entice me to
change my workflow, given the need to import the files and lose so
much useful information in the process. Not to speak of revisions to
the mix or part of the mix which are so simple when you stay in Pro
Tools for the whole process up to the final CD burn phase. That's
what's so great about MasterList. There are no extra steps. It's a
shame digidesign abandoned it, but this means there's an untapped
market there, and maybe I'm the only person who has "complained" but
I assure you, if you were to announce support of the features I am
looking for on the digidesign user conference or the DAW-Mac mailing
list, you'd be deafened by the roar of approval.

emtgray, I've never actually used masterlist, but you've asked some great questions. Before I answer them, I should be upfront about a what I consider XO...

... I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. You can certainly source 24 bit files, but, of course, you can't burn 24 bits to a CD. XO Wave does, by default,...
