Roxio Easy CD Burning


hrg321

Question

 

Hello everyone. I am hoping someone can me with this issues.

 

I am using Roxio Easy CD & DVD Burning 9.0

 

I have 10 wav files. that were created from a continuous DJ mix and they are all edited

as individual files for me to burn. The problem I keep having is the 1 second

gap in between the tracks.

 

When I look at each track on the list of tracks to burn, except the first one, they all

read 0 for Pre-Gap Seconds. However, there is a quick pause in between them.

Is there something that I am not doing right?

 

Thanks in advance for the help.

How exactly were the .WAV files created? I'm assuming that you captured one large .WAV file, and then split it up into the individual songs?

 

Now, you say "1 second gap", and then you say "quick pause" between tracks. I'm going to assume it's the latter, and it sounds like a very brief "drop out" in the sound, much less than one second. Would that be accurate? If so, then what's happening is that whatever program you used to split out the individual tracks didn't split them on a CD Block boundary. So, one track ends part-way through it's last block of 2356 bytes, and the next track starts on the next block. The rest of the last block of the previous track is filled with silence. That's how Audio CDs work, each track must start at the beginning of a block.

 

The trick is to use a program that automatically adjusts the split point to be on a block boundary. I believe Goldwave can do this, using the "Prep for CD" option. Or, the program I usually use, CDWAV, does this automatically. So, you'd start with your original, single large .WAV file, set your split points, then save the individual tracks. Then burn those tracks to CD and you shouldn't have any gaps between tracks.

 

Hope that helps.
