Is this worth getting?

Does it still work in Win7 64bit? Does the tagging thing work for cds and mp3s? I need a .wav editor that can do crossfades for a finished master and burn redbook cds. Is Pyro audio creator up to the task or should I save my pennies for Sound Forge or Cd architect?

Hi Clint. I've never used Pyro but I have used Sound Forge and CD Architect quite a bit. I think if you can afford it, you wouldn't be sorry you bought it. I've used SF for mastering quite a bit in the past, and really like it. CD Architect lets you use plugs on the individual songs if you choose. Unlike Nero or some of the others that basically just let you put one song after another CDA lets you move tracks so you can fade one song into another and have the track # change with it. There's much more to it but I'm sick of typing on my phone. :)

Pyro works fine. Just like it was reported here.
 
I use CDA because it was bundled with SoundForge and I am used to it. Not sure of CDA is still bundled with SoundForge. The thing is, if you are looking at CDA (or any other CD creation tool) and thinking because it lacks certain plug-in support is it deficient in some way, all I can tell you is I never add plug-ins when burning CDs. It never occurred to me that it would be a good idea to do so. As a matter of fact, it seems like a bad idea. By the time I get to burning a CD, I want to be sure of exactly what is going on the disk. I do not want the CD creator to alter the sound in any way. All I want CDA to do is handle layout and labeling. Even then I burn a test CD on an erasable disk to avoid making coasters.
 
If I did not have CDA, I would use freeware.

Man I sure do like how Studio One professional handles all of this with the project page. I wish Sonar would implement something like that.

Thanks Keith.
