HOFA CD-Burn.DDP.Master vs oXygen Mastering Suite

HOFA CD-Burn.DDP.Master is a standalone mastering and pre-mastering application for CD, DDP, vinyl, and online distribution projects. It burns Red Book audio CDs and creates DDP images carrying CD-Text, ISRC, and EAN information. Editing includes cutting, trimming, fades, crossfades, and track metadata. Album sequencing, multi-CD projects, multi-session CDs, and batch processing are supported. Delivery options include DDP images, WAV, AIFF, MP3, and an iTunes itmsp package. HOFA plugins are included at no additional cost in the app, with automatable parameters, and the software connects to HOFA DDP Player Maker for client-review players. The standard edition does not list third-party VST3 or AU plugins, plugin-chain presets, clip-based plugin processing, or true-peak normalization; those are listed for PRO. It runs on macOS 10.13 or later and Windows 10 or later. The listed plan costs 89.90 EUR once, with a 14-day free trial and offline activation.
