I'm afraid multiple simultaneous record drives are not going to "officially" be in this version. However, one of our testers has reported using two instances of CD Architect 5 to burn to two different drives (which happened to be on two different interfaces) at the same time. With pre-rendered images (so the Direct-X plug-ins are not all running) you might be able to do the same on your machine.

I use Padus DiscJuggler to write to 7 drives at once. It would be great if CDA5 could write a CD image file direct to HDD to faciliate this, and avoiding writing and reading errors when going through a physical 'production master' CD stage.

Would I be right to assume that the images CDA5 creates can be used by third party software to burn? eg could I create the CD compilation in CDA5, 'burn' an image to the harddisc, open the image in Nero (which I think supports multiple drive burning) and burn it to CD?

That's what i do for cda4 at the moment. If you save the project as a single wave file, and then use Colin Hill's [projecteva.net]premaster utility, you can then save the track data as a cue sheet. After that you can use Nero to burn on multiple drives. I would prefer to use Discjuggler, but that is a bit more tricky, and precarious as far as conversions are concerned.
Oh, and he throws in CD Text too.

Hope this helps

We intend to write the same WAV-based rendered "Image" files that CDA4 wrote, although that might not be in the upcoming public beta.

Getting away from cue sheets is what took me to CDA4 from CDRWIN in the first place. No, a raw image file is the way to go (for me).
