Toast 10 Update Does Not Fix Cdsd Issues


bohalloran

Question

I give up!!

 

I did the update to Toast 10 in the hopes that the fixes as stated in the update would fix the problems I have had with CDSD 6.0.1. It didn't. I still have the very same problems.

 

I have two Macs and have the very same problems on both Macs (PM G5 and MBP). Both run 10.5.6, all updates current, using Toast 10.0.1, CDSD 6.0.1. I noticed that the latest version update for Toast keeps CDSD at 6.0.1 which was the current version before the 10.0.1 update.

 

Here are the steps I used:

 

1. Downloaded update.

2. Trashed all preferences for Toast and CDSD.

3. Installed update, which basically installed all Toast apps. Toast now 10.0.1, CDSD still 6.0.1.

4. Ran Toast and went through registration, etc.

5. Opened itunes, selected a song and started it playing.

6. Opened CDSD, Tried start audio music capture, I get an immediate click sound then nothing happened.

7. Clicked on start new recording, select advanced, select CDSD system audio capture as the input device, click on the red record button. Things appear to go as expected, green recording light blinks, record time moves along, I play three songs and stop recording. Click OK, window opens creating the waveform, create three tracks, one for each song, select save (DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SELECT SAVE AS, AS IT WILL CREATE A FILE, BUT AFTER IT DOES YOU'LL HEAR A SOUND AND WHEN YOU CLOSE CDSD, GO TO THE FILE AND DOUBLE CLICK ON IT NOTHING HAPPENS!!!, IT CORRUPTS THE FILE) so do a save and it does save the file. When you close CDSD, go to the file and double click on it, it opens, but does not contain the tracks and it only had 33 seconds of the first track.

8. I then tried doing the above, only instead of selecting advanced, I chose continue instead of advanced and still got crappy results.

 

I have no idea what is causing these kinds of problems, but these problems did not occur for me prior to the release of Toast 10, (other than I could not select advanced and get good results), so I always clicked on continue and used the basic setup w/o problems.

 

Roxio/Toast/Deepsea et. al. should be ashamed for releasing such a flawed app and then take soooooooo long for an update and not provide any responses to the users as to what is happening and then finally post an update where one still continues to get the same bugs.

 

At this point I think Roxio needs to seriously consider dropping CDSD altogether and either find a suitable replacement or forget it. As it is now, all CDSD is doing for Roxio is turning people off about the product.

The Toast 10 update's version of Spin Doctor (6.0.1t) is the one I already had on my Mac. So nothing has changed there.

 

I know that. I assumed, (I know what can happen here), that with the below listed fixes in Toast, that the issues with CDSD might just go away. Obviously they did not. I'm not a teckie, just a simple user so I was wrong.

 

If some people can use CDSD successfully and others can't, it seems to me that there must be something that is offending CDSD or that something in Toast/CDSD is offending something else. Like a preference, or a plugin, or something in QT or an audio file. I don't know.

 

All I know is that it worked fairly well previously and now with the upgrade to Toast 10, it does not. Also, the fact that no one from Roxio posts a known issues link or gives some feedback is really very sorry support.

 

Here is what the update lists as fixes:

 

Improved handling of AIFF audio files

Resolves issue where some users may be unable to add audio to Music DVD project

Resolves issue where creating Audiobook project may result in –35 error

Resolves issue where users may be unable to remove video from appearing in the Web Video Media Browser view

Resolves issue that may occur when creating disc images so that users are not prompted for additional information

Resolves crash that may occur when opening audio projects saved in a previous version of Toast

Audiobook projects will be split automatically if they become larger than iTunes is able to play back

AVCHD Archive discs created from memory card-based cameras should now play correctly on Blu-ray players

Thanks for your posts describing these issues.
