Sony CD Architect is a program for Windows that allows you to produce professional grade audio CDs on your computer. It provides a plethora of features, including noise correction and an array of effects to elevate your projects.

Customize tracks

The graphical interface gives you access to instruments for disc creation and track optimization. You can master your songs, leveraging a wide range of DirectX effects, and trim tracks with a few clicks. The GUI has a convenient button for applying automatic crossfade.

With the help of this utility, you can edit PQ codes, crucial markers that designate the start and stop points of each item on the CD. This functionality ensures precise control over track positioning for seamless playback. It is possible to create intricate crossfades and DJ style megamixes.

Burn to CD

Prior to burning the data, it is recommended to manage the track list. You have options to make live style CDs and incorporate hidden songs. There is support for disc at once burning mode, enabling the uninterrupted recording of data.

As the tool strictly adheres to the Red Book standard for audio CDs, it imposes limitations such as maximum playing time and track count, along with minimum song duration requirements. To rip audio items from discs, you may try another app called Exact Audio Copy.
