Truncated Audio Files

[Sardis]

We burnt a master audio CD using Toast Titanium on the Mac using OS 10.4.8. After duplicating 4000 discs we've learned that the audio tracks are all truncated. That is to say the audio tracks are missing about 2 to 3 seconds worth of sound at their ends.

 

 

I am told from the person who burnt the tracks he removed all the "pause" between the tracks.

 

 

What causes this?

Did the person remove the pause after you have created your master? Did the master have pauses? What was used to read the master? I presume it wasn't Toast.

Yea, from what I understand. The editor removed all the pause time. They were burnt in Toast 7 Titanium on Mac / OS 10.4.8

 

 

 

I'm not sure what was used to read the discs. THey were duplicated by a source on the West Coast that does Byte counts. So what was on the master was matched up byte by byte.

The pauses were removed in Toast here. the duplicated just duped the masters. The masters that we created using toast have the truncated ends to the tracks on them, so the issue was created here.

I don't know what is causing this. You might try burning you disc (from non-truncated audio tracks) in Track-at-Once rather than Disc-at-Once mode. Or you might turn off the CD Text option.
