Recording Glitch ??? Need help !!
System here is Windows XP, Home Edition. I use Nero Burning Rom 6 to
duplicate Music Cd's. (It has a simple "copy" function). The music is beautiful, except that I get occasional "pops" in the music. Not on every track and not real frequent, but enough to put a damper on a nice album. Before I burn a duplicate cd, I reboot the computer, and then I don't run any other programs while I am making the cd copy. I just have no idea where these pops come from, and would love to be able to make a cd without them if possible. Can someone help me on this please ?? Thanks in advance for any help you may give !!

Exactly how are you copying - Direct from one CD loaded into one drive onto another CD-R loaded onto a burner drive? Or ripping to a hard drive folder, then copying from the hard drive to a CD-R? If the first of above, try ripping to a folder on hard drive, then ensure playback is OK from hard drive via media player before burning to CD-R. |

Nero does it automatically, from one cd drive to a cd burner drive (the
first method you noted......) I don't know how to make Nero burn it to a folder on the hard drive first...

In article ,
says... Nero does it automatically, from one cd drive to a cd burner drive (the first method you noted......) I don't know how to make Nero burn it to a folder on the hard drive first... Thanks Try copying it from the same drive as you burn to - the burner drive. That way, it will make a temporary image on your hard drive to burn from. Select a slower burning speed than max - try 16x at the fastest. whosbest54 -- The flamewars are over...if you want it.

I don't know how to make Nero burn it to a folder on the hard drive first... Thanks james "On the fly" (disc-to- disc) burning can be demanding of resources, but impossible to discern what is the hamstring in your set-up, it could be front side bus (FSB), drives interface - iDE or SATA?, memory etc. We will deal with last options first: It is always worth upgrading a burners firmware. Firmware is code embedded into device, updating increases the burners compatibility with blank media and irons out any bugs a burner maybe suffering. Learn how to use your Nero software and try for any updates for your version from Nero's support site: http://www.nero.com/eng/support.html Join the Nero community and get guidence from other users: http://www.nero.com/eng/community.html But the first option for you to try is a dedicated CD ripper application, there is plenty of freeware out there, just type into google: freeware cd ripper. But this is probably the best and most successful free cd ripping softwa http://www.audiograbber.org/ Download, install. Read the guides and tips+Tricks+FAQ's. Create folder on hard drive, rip desired tracks to folder, then burn your compilation to CD-R. Note: If you notice that specific brands of CD-R's are the problem or that specific brands of blank discs are not even recognised by the burner then that is a firmware issue and is easily fixed by flashing the firmware. Post back if so and I'll guide you. |

James Audio CD players aren't designed to cope with the step changes of 'contrast' that result from the CAV method of burning a CD-R at maximum write speed where the data rate (and the laser power) is increased in steps as the burn progresses towards the end of the track. To avoid this particular problem with audio CD copies, you need to force the writing software to use a CLV algorithm by selecting a speed slow enough to allow the data rate and laser power level to remain the same from beginning to end. The usual rule of thumb is to pick a speed no greater than one third the limit of the burner's maximum writing speed capability for the media type (CD-R or CD-RW). Note, if you were writing to 12x speed rated CD-RW media on a burner capable of writing to a max speed of 36 times for faster rated CD-RW media, you can safely choose 12x speed in this case. As others have pointed out, it is important to use CD ripping software which creates an image file on the hard drive and has an audio ripping option which is optimised to minimise reading errors. I've used CloneCD to good effect in times past. CloneCD (and other good CD ripping software)will re-read bad sectors, reducing read speed if necessary in order to achieve a 'perfect' image. This means it may take a bit longer to generate the image file than it would to do an On-The-Fly copy with other less capable software. In this instance, even an extra 45 minutes spent on obtaining the 'perfect image' is time well spent and is not considered a detriment. To help this process run at maximum speed, I'd advise that you make sure the source CD is clean beforehand. A greasy thumbprint can often mean the difference between a perfect copy and a less than perfect one. An effective way of cleaning such greasy marks off any CD is to wash it in tepid water with ordinary soap and then dry with a fresh towel, applying gentle strokes in a radial direction to minimise the small risk of creating a tangental scratch from possible contamination of the soft towel by a small piece of grit. Scratches across the spiral track will result in correctable errors whilst scratches along the track are almost certain to produce uncorrectable errors. On-The-Fly copying is deprecated by all who take the art of perfect copying to its limits. Your best chance of getting a perfect duplicate is to create an image file onto the hard disk from which to burn the duplicate disk(s). This frees the source disk read process from any time constraints that apply in disk to disk copying, allowing a reading algorithm that can concentrate on obtaining an error free image. The way to achieve this on systems with more than one optical drive is to tell the burning software to specify the writer as the source drive. This leaves the burning software no choice but to create an intermediate image on the hard drive. Another little gotcha when burning optical disks, is the sensitivity of the actual burning process to mechanical disturbances. This can range from banging a fist on the desk the PC is resting on (or a bump to the case from a careless elbow) to heavy footfalls on a springy wooden floor rattling the PC perched on a desk resting on said floor. Counter to what microsoft might have you believe, burning an optical disk is a little more specialised a process than making copies of files onto a hard disk or floppy disk. You ignore this fact at your peril. -- Regards JB Good |
