i'm trying to copy some concert cd's. i've never had this happen before but it has a 2 second cut out before every song. i thought i had it figured out but i don't ,this is soooo frustrating.

i am using roxio easy cd creator 2. if anyone could me with the settings to let me record seamlessly please let me know asap.
i don't know that much about this so talk to me like a 5 yr old.
thxs

Just for clarification, is it that there is a gap between songs but no music actually lost (so that you can tell that it is going to the next track) or is the music literally being lost (so that a song starts at 2 seconds or a 4 minute songs ends at 3:58)?

I have iTunes, so it might be slightly different, but if it's the former problem, go under options, and look for something relating to burning. Perhaps in there should be an option for gap between songs. Make sure that is set to "0" or none.

there is actually speech or music that is lost.

i did look for a "buffer" and settings. there is no "set time" amount. there is a buffer underrun which i thought would do the trick. it didn't seem to.

i also recorded at a mode that is called disc at once mode which it says is suppose to get rid of "gaps"....

Is what you're burning maybe a tad too long? Try taking one song off and reburning and see if that helps maybe... Beyond that I got nuthin.

I use iTunes, too.

But I used to have Roxio and Toast. Both of them had settings for the gap space in between tracks. I believe the default was 2 seconds. You just have to look harder for it.

Buffer underrun definitely has nothing to do with it.

not sure about roxio but in nero there is a 2 second default space. if you look at the properties of each tack it should show up there somewhere also the is a check box which says "no pause between tracks" look for that and make sure it is set correctly.

At the bottom of the window for Roxio, there is a setting called Track at once that needs to be changed to Disc at once.

I made that mistake often before someone told me I was putting the little gap in the live show recordings.

Someone told me there is a way to set it that way permanently, but I always have to go back and reset it when I record live shows.

Keep in mind that this feature can only be used when creating a music cd and not copying a disc. The disc will always copy just as it is.

You have to choose the mp3 files to create a music CD and then go down and click on Disc at Once.

You have to create music cd for the feature to work.

I'm not sure if someone covered this already, but maybe the songs you are trying to burn onto a cd already have 2 seconds of silence at the end of them. In other words, it's not the burning process that's creating the gap. Did you check that?

MacPhin · Post by **MacPhin** » July 20, 2006 7:12 pm

yeah, i did check it. most of them do and i already knew that. However, there are some that don't.
i burned a new cd with the box checked to take out the delay. i listened to the new copy and the songs that should not have had a delay DID...!@#*
i swear i checked the box but the only thing i can think of is some operator error on my part. oh well, what's a gal to do!

thanks everybody

Hang in there, MacPhin and enjoy the music anyway.

Some of it's magic, some of it's tragic!!

You may also try burning with Windows Media Player.
