Wrong Disc and Track Names

[Premier]

After installing Toast 8 I now have a strange problem I can not resolve. As I make a simple Audio CD recording and just prior to burning, I type in the name of the title and tracks. It all looks accurate. Then after the CD is finished and I re-insert the disc for playback it shows an incorrect title and track names. The audio on the disc is correct but not the information for the Disc/track names. This is very frustrating with all of the CD's having the same Title/Track names. The name of the song listed does cannot be located to delete.

 

I have deleted preferences and plist thinking it could be corrupted. It did not take care of the problem. I also reinstalled Toast 8 without success. Any ideas???

 

Thanks

Toast writes the artist/album/track info to the audio CD as CD Text. The Mac OS does not read CD Text. You can check that the info was written correctly to the disc by inserting the audio CD and choosing Disc Info from Toast's Recorder Menu.

 

You Mac is showing you track info that's on the hard drive in the CD Info database file. Apparently your new CD matches the number of tracks and track lengths of another CD that has the names you are seeing. The CD Info database file gets written to either by downloads from the online CDDB or by iTunes.

 

You can manually edit the album/artist/track names that appear on your Mac in iTunes. Or you can use the CD Info to CD Text applescript from www.dougscripts.com to automate that entry.

The gain control info is in an article on the Toast Support page Here.

The audio source was not a song or listed in a CDDB, The audio was from a digital voice recorder WAV to Aiff. I tried to manually edit the track names and Album name but they continued to list the unwanted mystery CD Disc and just the one Track name. After getting some sleep I started trouble shooting. I have 8 hard drives and systematically eliminated all but the culprit. The small 4K file which was not named as the mystery track name was in a folder with over a hundred aiff songs. It was labeled "Court" as it was the original name. The mystery Track name was something completely different. I recall doing a burn and changing the name from court to the second name.

 

So after finding it I deleted the 4K file and shazam it is doing what it should as advertised.

 

Now the strange problem that I also experienced the same day I installed Toast 8 was could have sworn that there was a gain control just like the Jam 6 I have used for a long time. I see the VU meters but no level gain control or any information in the manual regarding it's existence. I must have missed something along the way. I see the audio effects selections and I can tell that any eq (db) increase will push the gain and VU meters up to the peaking point. I sure hope that there is a simple independent VU gain control just like the level gain in Jam 6.

 

On the website I could not find any reference to a VU gain control. If anyone can tell me what if there is an actual gain control please tell me how to locate it.

 

I used to use Jam 6 and I am now experiencing the same issue with not being able to burn/display the CD track names/info... did you ever find a resolution? Thanks. -Mike-
