Okay, so let's say I finish those projects I've been working on in T1. What's some good, inexpensive or free software for burning my audio files onto a redbook cd?
Many thanks in advance for the suggestions!

Redbook isn't the important to me. Don't know why I even said that (other than I was trying to be all fancy dancy).

AFAIK it is enough to burn in "disc-at-once" mode: posh software just gives you options for official pauses with audio running through them, etc.. I might be wrong though!

Well if it will play in a standard CD player then it is Redbook.
If you want a cheap program that will let your audio play continuously through track markers try CDwave. http://www.milosoftware.com/cdwave/
Nero also will allow you to insert track markers. I used nero until I got my new Plextor drive. It came with Roxio which I couldn't stand because it was aimed at idiots. Now I just split the file using CDwave and burn with the Plextor plextools that also came with the drive.

My approach is to lay out my whole CD in Tracktion, then either export the whole disc as a single file which I split into regions and burn with Acoustica, or position Tracktion's markers and export each track individually. (If you leave your right marker where it is, but drag the left marker past it, you can guarantee that each export will start exactly where the previous one ended)

I do the same thing so that I can listen to it as it would play and hear the track to track timing. If you cut the file into tracks in Tracktion though the spaces between tracks may change slightly. If there is any audio at all at the split you will get a pop as the tracks change. I do alot of live recordings that play straight through the track markers so I have gotten into the habit of always exporting the whole CD and splitting with another program. CDwave will also spit out the cue sheet which comes in handy for printing track lengths in the liner notes. The other thing is that most burning software will default to adding 2 secs between tracks unless you change it.

You sure about that? I usually have gaps between tracks, but I'm fairly sure I have successfully created a track marker halfway trough a cross-fade using the method I described above: Export the first track, then drag the left marker past the right marker, so the right marker does not move at all, but just becomes the new left marker.Tim Brackett wrote: If you cut the file into tracks in Tracktion though the spaces between tracks may change slightly.

Okay, I can't figure out a problem I'm having. I'm attempting to use Roxio Creator Classic (just because I happen to already have it) and EAC to burn audio CD's, and both tell me I have a parameter error. I'm using 16-bit, 44.1 MHz .wav files. What am I missun?

I think you set the sample-rate a bit too high!FoxV wrote:I'm using 16-bit, 44.1 MHz .wav files.
