No continuous audio playback!

[Nonsolomac]

There's an issue in the playback of audio tracks with a pause of 0 seconds. A little gap (silence) is always audible instead of a smooth continous playback. Very annoying :-( Jam was not affected by this problem. Please do not stop developing Jam, we strongly need a universal binary upgrade!!!!

Just so I know, when you play a preview in the cross fade window is there no audible gap there? The reason I mention this is I have tracks that have a small amount of silence at the start (or end) that I need to either track trim or cross fade to eliminate. I just wanted to be certain this isn't the case here.

 

No, I double checked with different audio editors, there's absolutely no silence at the start (or end) of each track. In fact the same playlist plays smoothly (no audible gaps) in Jam and jerky (with annoying short gaps) in Toast 8. Even if you adjust each track with crossfades, when you play the final mix through the Toast 8 interface you can hear those gaps. If Toast 8 advanced audio features are meant to replace those in Jam this is VERY BAD :-(

I presume from your posts that you have an Intel Mac and have updated to Toast 8.0.1. There have been several audio engineers posting here about things they don't like regarding the Toast 8 adoption of the Jam features, but none other than you have mentioned an audible gap in playback.

 

You say the gaps are audible when playing through the Toast interface. Are they audible after burning a CD?

You are right, I'm a pro audio engineer too, I have a MacBook Core 2 Duo and I'm trying to migrate all my mixed audio compilations previously made in Jam to Toast 8.0.1 (too bad we are forced to rebuild our Jam catalogs because Toast 8 doesn't read Jam 6 files...).

 

I confirm this is a playback issue of the Toast audio interface that doesn't affect the burned CD.

This should be fixed however because it is actually impossible to check the accuracy of any mixed audio work.

 

I really appreciate the efforts of all the people working at Roxio to make great poducts, Jam was really a milestone for us, I hope they will listen to all our complaints in order to build a perfect app :-)
