    Hello pll

    Hope somebody can help me out on this one?

    When I try to burn a demo of mine (big .wav file) there always seems to be errors on there. Going from cracking sounds to players that don’t read the cd at all! If the quality of the player goes up the cracking diminishes!

    The burning program being “Nero burning Rom”
    The writer being “Aopen”
    The record Program being “WavLab”

    Do a have a broken writer? (data is no problem so that would be kinda weird… or not?!)
    Do I need to use different cdr’s? (I have tried a couple of different cdr types but no use… cheap ones as expensive ones… waste a money that was!)

    I tried changing the speed of the burning, but no use!

    Is there an other problem that could be causing these problems?

    Any help is very appreciated!!

    Thx,
    R

    Low buring speed (4-12x) + trying different media (CD-R, not CD-RW, about brands see CD-R forum) is all you can do unless there's something seriously wrong. To check this extract a burned CD e.g. with Exact Audio Copy on PC and do a wave substraction from the original .wav file (Manual offset correction might be necessary - use a wave editor for this) - or use Exact Audio Copy's wave compare feature.

    If both are not 100% identical there's something seriously wrong with
    - your burner or
    - your PC (e.g. bad RAM causing data corruption).
    In this case try another burner in the same PC and the burner you used in another PC.

    If extraction on PC gives identical results, there might be problems caused by burning that can't be handled by standalone CD players but by PC CD drives. Trying another burner would be a good idea.

    stab in the dark
    but im gonna say its a clogging problem

    lack of ram, slow PC, that kinda thing. If your Wav is huge and your running too many processes/programs it may conflict or just get clogged resulting in poor quality burning and some cd players to not read what has been burned.

    Hey there,

    Lack of ram or slow pc is probably not the case! We’re talking Pentium III 1.4GH and 512mb of ram here!
    I’m gonna try to do the extraction thingie and see what that will give me as possible causes! Also trying a different burner is on my toTry list…

    Thx for the replies
