Apple has just updated WaveBurner, their professionnal audio CD burning application. This update addresses several reliability and performance issues that may be encountered with WaveBurner 1.1. It also improves compatibility with Mac OS X version 10.4 (Tiger).

Furthermore, the update corrects the following issues:

Some may have had the email from Spectrasonics this morning : Spectrasonics release an exclusive mini collection of Grooves in pure New Orleans style, 50 grooves in SAGE stylus RMX, WAV, AIFF, Apple Loops formats. The grooves use the likes of Alex Acuña, Abe Laboriel Jr, Greg Bissonette, etc. So there's definitely worse around ;) All the grooves are new stuff and you don't need Stylus RMX to beneficiate of the given the formats but to use the Groove Control Technology, you'll need the SAGE file and Stylus. Now the main point of this mini collection is that 100% of the funds (Yep: 100%) are directed to http://www.habitat.org helping the Katrina victims.

The collection is available online only (hence the maximum benefit going to charities) for $25, and you'll need a fast internet connection as the files weight a total of 100MB. According to Super Prince of the Space, our member who told us all about it, they are serious stuff and it's for a good cause!
