Report the bug to Apple, I'd be curious if you get a reply. So you're saying when you "bounce project" WB was adding a second to the beginning of your 5 second Track 1, hmmm that's an odd bug. click the "burn" button, insert a blank TY disc, burn at 8x.ġ0. close the project, open the "image" file, wait for the waveform to draw.ĩ. wait a few extra seconds for the image to totally finish rendering.ħ. click the "bounce project" button to save the "image" (actually a package).Ħ. check preferences for proper dither & burn settings.ĥ. Preview the transitions to double check everything.ģ. results in the typical checkerboard arrangement. Edit the regions: adjust spacing, pregaps, fades, crossfades, levels, CD Text, ISRC, etc. Import (drag & drop) the audio files into the regions list.Ģ. Let ask me ask you about procedure, to see if we're on the same page.ġ. guess they're busy working on the iPhone : - )
WAVEBURNER DITHERING UPDATE
It's been almost a year since we've had an update to WB, wish Apple would wake up to the fact there's a lot of us MEs using it for masters. Thanks for the tip Andy, I don't remember doing a 4-5 second Track 1 in recent history. Or, maybe someone has another idea to solve this?Īndy Krehm wrote on Mon, 12 February 2007 15:54 So WaveBurner users, this post is for the record, so file this info away! There is really no problem with having 3 secs.
Today we had a little time to troubleshoot and discovered the workaround. in order to burn the first track properly. I had to deliver the album to the label this morning so last night I recreated the whole project in Jam, which luckily does CD Text and ISRCs, and doesn't require the extra sec. It appears that WB has changed the Red Book starndard, at least for track 1, to 6 seconds minimum! to the front of the album, after the requisite 2 sec. In the end, my tech guy discovered that if we added a minimum of 1 sec. I also tried inserting a marker to separate tracks 1 & 2 (which was originally one track) as well as actually making separate audio files of the 2 tracks and making sure the two were butted together. In order to rule out corrupted preps, we tossed them but it made no difference. Of course, it could be an OSX thing or maybe I've never tried to put a 4 sec. I've burned a least a few in that number where there was no problem with writing 4 sec. I have used WB almost exclusively for over 3,000 albums. file length re Redbook standard so I wonder why this is happening. Given that track 1 was a 2 bar count, the extra space before track 2 was not acceptable! I tried to write a 5 sec track as the first track of a CD and WB added a little space just before track 2 (in the physical master), even though it played perfectly from the program. While WB runs at 32bit float, some plug-ins can run at a higher internal resolution inside WB such as Ozone which runs at 64bit float.I discovered a very strange anomaly today in WB 1.2 for OSX. It works quite well but it would be nice to have other options. This way it's only limiting on the overlapping regions where it exceeds 0.0dbfs. The only way I've been able to overcome this problem effectively is to use Ozone's limiter as a region plug-in on both overlapping audio files & set the limiter's threshold to 0 & the output to say -0.3. At the moment we only have fades or the whole track's overall volume, which doesn't help in this situation.
What I'd like to see Apple do is incorporate volume automation handles so you can at least lower the 2 overlapping sections so they don't clip. This is where the Sonic products would be better suited for this type of master. Doing crossfades when one or both audio files are close to 0.0dbfs is a real problem in WB.
WAVEBURNER DITHERING 32 BIT
Don't know exactly, but I've donw numerous crossfades with full pop material starting during a fade out with no audible clipping, however the meters were redlighting : - ) I'm pretty sure it's 32 bit float, anyone else?Hey Jerry, be very careful with 'red lighting' in WB, even though it's not audibly clipping during playback in the application (because of the 32bit float resolution), if you burn the CD & play it back you will get nasty crackling distortion at the points the clipping occurred.
