I have been having a complete bitch of a time trying to get a few simple songs recorded onto a CD.
Here is what I am wanting to do. In Logic Audio Platinum v. 5.5 for my PC with Win. ME and "Easy CD Creater" burning software I am recording an acoustic guitar track on audio track one through a Delta-66/OMNI Studio with a Rode NTK mic. Then I come back and over-dub the vocals onto track two. Really easy stuff.
I use a few effects plug ins from inside Logic. PlatinumVerb, EQ, maybe a little compression. Then I bounce the two tracks down to one .wav file and save the finished .wav file in newly created "Finished Songs" folder. Now, here is where the trouble starts.
I then open up my burner software, select Add Audio file, Browse to find the finished song .wav file, and then burn away. When the finished CD comes out, it sounds like SHITE!!!
There is some kind of "digital sounding noise" that gets introduced. It sounds like the "BitCrusher" plug in within logic. A kind of robotic fuzz is all through the song. The odd part about it is, that if I listen to the .wav file in a standard Windows Media Player application, it sounds clear as a bell, no problems.
Somehow between the hard disc and the CD-R some noise is getting in.
Also within the CD burner software there is a "preview track" feature that will let you listen to the tracks you have added to the "Burn List" before you burn the CD. When I listen to the file in this preview player, the noise is already there.
I would just say... well the burning software is shit. BUT, if I burn a normal .wav file like something I got from the internet, or an MP3 that I downloaded from the net, there is no problems. It is something about .wav files that were created within Logic.
If I copy a normal audio CD from a music store, it is fine. If I download MP3s or .wav files from the internet, everything is fine. What is it with Logic Audio files?
Is there something I did not do when I bounced the tracks to one .wav file? I know NOTHING about what is called dithering. I think I get the idea behind it, but I cannot imagine that this is the reason since the file sounds fine in a Windows Player. I thought that perhpas I was trying to bounce down to 24 bit and so the .wav file would not "fit" on the 16-bit CD format. But I don't think it is that.
ANY ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
Thanks guys!
Mike
