A delivery and packaging workflow app for mastering engineers, not a DSP plugin, a companion for getting the finished master out the door.
A real, byte-accurate DDP 2.00 image, DDPID and DDPMS control files with per-track ISRC, and a sector-aligned Red Book IMAGE.DAT. Not a placeholder, a replication plant can load it.
The format checklist covers MP3, FLAC, WAV, M4A, AIFF, and OGG, plus DDP, cue sheet, ISRC manifest, and metadata XML for CD replication.
Stitches continuous Side A/B masters, audits sub-150 Hz stereo phase correlation, and generates a plant-ready cutting log PDF with catalog and matrix numbers, speed, and side timecodes.
Burn Red Book audio CDs straight from your cue sheet or DDP image, with CD-Text and ISRCs, selectable burn speed, live progress, and auto-eject.
Send the artist a fillable PDF, track listing, credits, lyrics, and ISRC guidance, then drop the filled form back in and Dropzone reads it. Parsed on your machine, nothing uploaded.
Per-track fields expand into a full tag editor, Track Artist, Work/Movement, Disc #, ISRC, lyrics, and more.
Send finished packages directly to your own Google Drive, Dropbox, Amazon S3, or SFTP, no manually re-uploading the same files per format, per client.
Metadata is read with positioned chunk walks, never by loading the file, so multi-gigabyte masters drop in instantly instead of stalling the app.
Dropzone is finished — plant-ready DDP built to the licensed 2.00 spec, six audio formats, vinyl pre-masters with a cutting log, in-app CD burning, and a full tag editor, all running on your own machine. $25 USD, a one-time price, not a subscription. If you pick up the Elemental Mastering Suite, Dropzone comes with it at no extra charge. The store opens shortly; join the list and we’ll email you the day it does. $5 from every Dropzone purchase goes to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation.
