Hi everyone,
I've been reading around this forum since May when I bought CE2K & the audio cleann up plug-in, and I must say you folks have helped me out more than once. Anyway, I have a problem I was hoping someone could help me with. When I record with CE I use 32\96 to do all my cleaning and normalizing, then I convert to 16\44, burn it on a Cd, play it on on the player in my stereo system, (sounds great) then I take it to my car CD player and IT SOUNDS LIKE BAD RADIO RECEPTION! Anybody know why? I'm at My wits end. I'll tell you what I have & what I've done----
AMD Athlon Classic 650
128MB RAM
ATI Rage Fury 32MB
Linksys NIC
& an M-Adudio Audiophile 24\96 (this is what I've been using with CE to record)

It's not the burner, I bought a new one, as a matter of fact the new one is better, cause the old one made the cd unplayable in my car (agian, the cd was fine in my home rig), with the new burner it just sounds bad. It's not the car unit either, cause it plays the same way in my wife's car(BAD)and in my brothers old (1987) CD player. Every other player I have plays the disk just fine! It's not the blank media I'm using, cause if I make a copy of a production CD It plays fine in all the before mentioned CD players. I have also tried using the burner in my other computer, with different software (I'v been using EZCD 4 , but I'm trying out CDRWIN & I think I'm gonna buy it) and I still get that fuzzy crackly sound on discs that were made with CE.

I think it's the sound card, but I have a few more things I wanna try before I go M-audio with this problem. I can't even see why it would even be the sound card. While Cleaning up the wav files and all that, I never here anything like it. HEK, If I didn't have a few crappy CD players I might not even know there was a problem. I'd also like to say that the CD deck in my wifes car is only a month old, and the one in my car is under 2 years old. They're both Sony decks if that means anything.

Anyway It's almost 3AM and my brain hurts. I just thought I'd throw this out there and see if anyone could help. I might be missing something real small and stupid after all(wouldn't be the first time).

Thanks,
BÜDD

I'm not sure but it might be CDRWIN....

I've been usings CDRWIN to try to burn CD's and all it has been giving me are coasters...

I wanted to use CDRWIN because it allows you to customize the disks TOC(Table of Contents), which I want to do... but when I use it to burn a CD... and i try to play it back they first 3 seconds or so of the 1st track are good, but then the entire rest of the CD is nothing but noise... like the noise you get when a radio station doesn't some in, or the tv goes out... i dunno if its white, pink, or brown noise... but anyways...

Does anybody know of any other burning software that enables you to have control over the disks TOC...

I am using an internal Plextor PlexWriter 16x burner.. CDRWIN claims to support it... but so far no go... Disks burn fine in EZCD4 but I want control of the TOC and EZCD4 doesn't allow it to be edited...

so if anybody knows of any other burning software that enables you to have control over the disks TOC... please let me know...

Josh

p.s.. sorry this kinda goes off topic of CEP or CE2K...

jdechant,

CDRWIN is not the the problem, as a matter of fact I rather like the way it works, as compared to EZCD which is the software I was using when this problem crept up. I was, and still am just trying to isolate The problem. Does'nt Matter which software I use, I've got the same static in the backround.

As far as your problem goes, I dunno, maybe you downloaded a corrupted program or something. CDRWIN works well for me so far, except for my prexisting nightmare of course, and It does'nt have all the USELESS JUNK with it. It realy seems to give you everything you need and nothin' ya don't, IMO. HEK, Their web site doesn't even claim to support my new burnner(LITE-ON 12x10x32x-I'm Cheap Smile

......) , but the software itself recoganized the burner and works with
it just fine.
GOOD LUCK.

Thanks,
BÜDD

I agree with Budd, it's probably not CDRWIN. Are you both using branded CDR blanks, or an off-brand generic blank? You are using CDR's, right-- not CDRW's? What burn speed are you using? Did CDRWIN *ever* work for you both? And for how long?

Jdechant, how did you create your CDRWIN cuelist? I'm concerned about the 3-second deal... if you want to post your cuelist back, I'd like to take a look at it later, in case there's a problem there.

Budd, many demo packages are self-limiting, and beyond the limit they do things like inject beeps into your output. I thought I remembered that the CDRWIN demo was only good for 2 burns at 1X. But I don't know what the demo behavior would be if you go beyond 2 burns... static, maybe? Just a thought.
