DSP-Quattro is a macOS application for editing and mastering audio files, burning audio CD-ROMs, hosting plug-ins and processing batches. Its editor handles multiple audio formats, waveform editing, sound enhancement and real-time processing. It hosts 64-bit Audio Unit effects and instruments, but does not load VST plug-ins. Version 6 requires macOS 10.14 or newer and runs natively on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. Listed delivery formats include AIFF, WAVE, MP3, M4A, CAF, FLAC, AAC, DDP, raw binary and dual L/R mono. A demo is available without a time limit, but it cannot save or export audio, export DDP or burn audio CD-ROMs. The new-license plan is listed at 99.00 USD per month. An upgrade is listed at 49.00 USD per month and is for customers registered to a previous DSP-Quattro or DSP-AudioCDBuilder version. Its license is for personal use and belongs to one owner, rather than being limited to one installation. The maker lists email support and possible refunds within 14 days after purchase.
