Steinberg Get it on CD 3.0

Steinberg's Get it on CD 3.0 is the latest version of the company's CD authoring software.

Many professional, semi-professional and amateur musicians/composers use Steinberg's sequencing and recording software.

However, many of these use more ergonomic and better-featured software from other vendors to cut CDs. This latest version of Get it on CD goes some way to redressing this.

New features in version 3.0 include the ability to copy CDs directly from a CD-Rom drive and write to the CD-Extra (mixed media) format, as well as a label and CD case insert designer, and original sound quality (OSQ) proprietary lossless audio compression.

Some of these features (such as the label designer) have been present in competing products like Nero Burning Rom for some time, so it's good to see Steinberg is finally catching up with the competition.

The program gives seven options at startup, which guide you through the process of creating audio, data or mixed data and audio CDs, taking backups, copying a CD, grabbing audio from a CD, designing CD labels and converting files to MP3 or WMA formats.

All the options are straightforward and offer help and advice where needed. The new features of version 3.0 centres on audio CD creation and it's here that Get it on CD 3.0 offers the most.

Effects include an eight-band graphic equaliser, stereo width control, enhancer and bass boost. A compressor is also included. The ease with which these features can be used helps to produce a uniform maximum level and tonal balance across a whole CD of original material.

As with other Steinberg products, a lot of plug-ins are included, among them pitch correction, reverb and chorus.

Get it on CD 3.0 is a good audio CD authoring tool with a host of features that make it suitable for most CD writing tasks.
