Is Samplitude good at extracting audio from CD's? Does your CD drive read
audio CD's properly? You need to know the answers to those questions
before going any further.

If you don't know then try using EAC - it will be slow but at least you'll
know that you are getting the most accurate transfer possible with your
hardware. If you are using a Plextor drive that supports the reading of C2
error flags (most do) then Plextools will also extract CD audio accurately.

Once you've accurately extracted the audio from both CD's then invert the
polarity of one, paste it over the other and see if there is any signal
remaining. If there isn't a perfect null then your client is right.

Without knowing the results of the null test we can't really help much
further.

Cheers.

James.

I have actually done the null test on the same song but 2 different files.
One was the Samplitude extraction, and the other was an AIFF file he brought
me. The null was total silence.

Thanks,
