After burning a music (wav) CD, some songs have a noticable, fraction-of-a-second squelch sound at the end of the song. This is especially noticable when the songs are converted in ITunes to go in my IPod. I edit every song in Sound Editor to make sure the intro and exit of every song is clean, but when I burn the CD in Music Disc Creator, an average of two to six songs have the squelch sound at the end. Occasionally, it will be at the beginning of a song. This same annoying problem occured with CD Creator 5, so I bought 2009 hoping to solve the problem. No luck. I have to reedit and reburn over 300 CD's I've made, and don't want to keep wasting time and media until I figure out what to do or not to do. Some how I'm thinking the marker that seperates the songs on the CD may be getting placed about 1/10th of a second into the next song, as the first song on a CD, and the last song on a CD never has the squelch sound at the beginning or end of the song, respectively.

On another topic, when I try to launch 2009, I get and error notification that Roxio has encountered a problem and has to shut down. This suddenly happened a couple of weeks ago, so I have no access to the simple tool to copy music files to folders. Uninstall and reinstall?

Thanks.

For the audio, “squelch” in my world is silence… if you look and listen to the waveform in Sound Editor you will probably find the end is very low volume. Is it possible you are mistaking this for silence?

If it happens in two entirely different versions of the software, then it is a hardware problem.  More than likely, it is you sound card/chip.  Try updating the drivers for it, and see what happens.

Oh, and Itunes may be doing a number on you, too.

I originally suspected ITunes, but I went back to the burned CD, and sure enough, the sound was on the CD. Thanks for the tip on the sound card driver.

As the lines soften on the waveform at the end of the song, and smooth out to a level line (the song fades to silence), right at the very end of the waveform you can see a very short, but sudden jolt of spikes. Imagine listening to the end of Dark Side Of The Moon. As the heartbeat fades to silence, you hear a fraction of a second of a loud noise at the volume of the middle of a song.
