Mastering

Sequoia allows you to burn master-CDs directly from the multi-track project. You do not need a separate burning program. This means that the whole process, from recording to the finished master-CD, is covered by Samplitude. The CDs produced are 100% Red Book-compatible and can be sent directly for pressing. The CDs can be configured to include copy protection, UPC/EAN, ISRC codes, pre-emphasis, and CD text.

In order to reduce the bit depth to the 16-bit CD-format and preserve the highest level of quality possible, Sequoia includes POW-r dithering. Developed by the POW-r Consortium, this patented algorithm works on a psycho-acoustic basis to permit word length reduction with a very high degree of usable signal dynamics, with or without noise shaping.

Audio material with higher sample rates may be burned in stereo to DVD-Audio, even in Surround. Audio files are burned uncompressed (linear PCM) according to the DVD-Audio standard.
