At the 126th AES convention in Munich, Sonic Studio will preview a number of new products, including the secureDDP application, the Amarra computer music player, a new version of Quartet DynPEQ and a bundle for DSD production.

What is secureDDP? It's a Mac application that encrypts existing DDP file sets for safe and secure delivery over public computer networks. SecureDDP offers 128-bit encryption and supports DDP file sets from SADiE, Eclipse, DCA and Merging, as well as from Sonic Studio''s product lines. Expect secureDDP to be available on June 15 through Sonic Studio''s eStore.
