I run a computer with Macos Tahoe on a Mac M2 Max, and although Wavelab 12 recognizes the CD burner (a USB 3 Pioneer BlueRay DVD burner BD-RW BDR-XD05), Wavelab 13 says that there are no DC burners connected
Thanks for any wisdom on the subject

On macOS Tahoe, you need to run WaveLab in Rosetta mode to be able to access the CD.
In WaveLab 12, this is not necessary, but WaveLab 12 becomes very unstable when accessing the CD. This is why CD access has been restricted to Rosetta, where there is no such macOS problem.
Wow thanks for the quick answer ! What should have been a quick CD burn (something becoming rare) has degenerated this morning in a full blown three hour disaster, with W12 going wild, quitting on me whenever trying to access the burning/ddp utility in the “album” tab of a montage. Drove me absolutly crazy. I ended up creating a DDP in W13 and importing it in w12 and burning from there. But what is the solution to all this ? What is happening ?
Even the DDP creation, in W12 has become wildly unstable !!
I add that I just upgraded to Tahoe yesterday, but all seemed to work ok. I will try rosetta
on Tahoe:
Use Rosetta if you need CD access.
Use WaveLab 13 if you need DDP access (Apple Silicon and Rosetta).
HI,
Thanks for the replies, any chance that my burner might be recognized in the near future without rosetta ?

In the near future, no. In the middle term future, maybe.
Tip: I still have issues using CD functions. Rosetta2 is a Short Term Solution. With macOS 28 Support stops. I use HOFA CD-burn.master for all CD related functions. The Wavelab Workflow ends after DDP creation. With HOFA CD-burn.master I can import DDP files 1:1 and burn CDs.
Same. I can’t remember the last time I actually burned a CD using WaveLab.
The way to go is making the DDP in WaveLab and then using HOFA DDP Player Maker to embed a player in the DDP Folder and zip it.
This way, your clients can do a variety of things with the DDP including listen to it in the HOFA DDP Player software, inspect the CD-Text/Metadata, and burn a CD if they care to.
The Steinberg DDP Player seems like abandonware and it was never great to start with because it couldn’t burn CDs and you had to link your clients to the software so they could install it, all just to open a DDP in software that can’t even burn a CD.
I consider HOFA DDP Player Maker essential software and an extension of what I do after making the DDP in WaveLab.
The main reason I burn a CD these days is for Gracenote Database submission as thankfully even the few smaller CD duplication companies my clients sometimes work with have figured out how to accept a DDP file vs. needing a CD-R master shipped to them.
With WaveLab 13.0.30, you don’t need Rosetta to burn CDs.
Hi PG1, thanks for this hint. I had installed 13.0.20. Now, after updating to 13.0.30 CD functions are working as expected.
