audio cd's

[codybear]

anyone know how I can duplicate my "live" cd's so I have one at home and one at work without losing anything from the live recording??

[SoopaStar]

Burn em? If you are really concerned, get a sounds card with a 'light tunnel' and record it to minidic and just use the mini disc player ;-)

Try burning them Disk At Once DAO as I this writes the whole disk without the laser starting and stopping so you should get a good copy.

Brydon is correct. That's what I would do.

[codybear]

clone cd even leaves the hiccup in between them.....if someone finds a way please let me know..all the sites I have been to don't have an answer either, Best I can do is with the hiccup, its no more than millisecond but noticeable

Codybear;
I had made several tapes years ago which were compilations, which I called the "KGRH" tapes (like my own little radio station).

I loved these and wanted to dupe them over to CD, but when I first tried this, the only software I had was Adaptec EZ-CD Creator 3.0. I would record WAVs using a fancy sound card (Echo DARLA), and using Goldwave, a really nice shareware WAV editor.

I got a few of my tapes done this way, but as I got to the later volumes, I was stumped, because when I recorded those, I had begun using a mixer and doing fadeout/fadeins and creating non-stop music.

So, I could record a LOOOONG Wav, and keep the mix as intended, or chop it into pieces and get track numbers on the CD corresponding to the songs. No way to have my cake and eat it too.

I had tried Adaptec for an answer on this, they couldn't help, I had bought CeQuadrat's CD Mastering software, it wouldn't even deal with my CD-R unit; Adaptec's newest (4.0) Creator is supposed to allow fade-crossovers by setting for zero second pauses, but my friends who have this say there is still a milli-glitch.

I hated the choice... why couldn't I record the one long wav and "insert" track index commands inside of it?

Well, I can-- now. The software that does it is Sonic Foundry's CD ARCHITECT. It came with my last CD recorder (Smart&Friendly SCSI Turbowriter RW), but I have since found it is available as a separate product-- I found box retail copies at a Guitar Center, for instance.

It is a little hard to figure out in the beginning, but once you do, you can set the P and Q subcode info to within a 10th of a second, and NO PAUSES OR GLITCHES occur on the final CD. It's cool-- for a better explanation of PQ subcodes and all that, try their website: http://www.sonicfoundry.com/products/NewShowProduct.asp?PID=13
but their suggested retail price is I think a bit misleading: try shopping on the web, and I am pretty sure you can get it for much less.
