how come after i am done recording a song it sounds great on my computer but when i burn it to a CD i get this weird annoying high frequency sound?

Because your computer speakers suck? Or you're using a stock soundcard and crap gear? Or maybe your computer just hates your music, and inserts an annoying tone into it to piss you off?
Perhaps more info on what gear you're using and how you're using it would help you in receiving a serious reply.

And BTW, sending me unsigned rep is even more gay than your lame "yer gay" comment. Kiss my ass and lick my balls, you dumb shit. Welcome to my ignore list, ass licker.

Yo' Norm this maybe eff'd-up and wrong but perhaps one should think about replying to some-1's question who has rep-rating equivalent to monkey-dung.
For ex. airgayguy appears to be a hi'ly sensitive person who can't take constructive criticism and who's also suffering from years of sexual abuse by an older male acquaintance using a Radio Shack dynamic mic and home-made lard!
He-she's pain; our gain!

Yeah. If it wasn't obvious that my initial reply was meant as a joke, then the OP is strung too tight for this place!

umm maby if you put nice pos'ts he wouldn't give you neg. rep... anyway what converting software are you using before you burn? what burning software, what bitrate did you export to? becouse your problem could be alot of things.
I had a similar problem, and for me it was a couple of things. 1: cheep mic. and sound card.
and 2: the volume on the sound track was really low so when turend up there would be a loud high piched note that was there all the time, only not audioble.
get goldwave (free) and get rid of noise (noise reduction) and see if that makes a diffrence.
hope this helps.

thank you nick,
its really weird. i saved the song as a wave file, i cant remember what quality i saved it at but it wasnt bad. its weird because the saved song sounds fine on my computer, but through a stereo on the cd, it doesnt.

and you know something, i make these kind of threads in the "newbies" section for a reason. i am new to recording and i want to try to ask questions without being ridiculed.

Hey Airmowgli, read it again - Everything EXCEPT that green part is legit (and that, even, is obviously a joke). I think you are a bit too sensitive, if that threw you into a neg repping frenzy. Be a man, and sign your rep. Or, even better, ask yourself "was that helpful?" before you rep someone. I'm willing to bet that if you provided more info on your gear, as requested, MadAudio would have gladly helped you throught the problem. But instead, now you have just made a lot of enemies, by being a cowardly anonymous repper. Too bad. Call it a lesson learned.

People who care about rep, negative or positive, signed or unsigned, need to do a little growing up themselves.

could you give us this info
what soundcard:
what burning/converting softwware:
what type of monitors:
maby you could post a sound file of the song your trying to burn.

You've got me on that point. I generally try to be more patient when responding to posts in the newbie thread, but I honestly didn't notice that was the case here. So I apologize.airmowgli said:

lesson learned. i am new to this and i didnt even know that you had to sign youre comments. i thought it did it automatically. so for that, i am sorry.
anyways,
i do all of my mixing on my laptop. my soundcard is a PCMCIA Sound Card from Creative Labs and i only use it for mixing. Sound blaster Audigy 2 ZS i think. to record the actual music i use an external ZOOM MRS4 4 track. the burning software that i use is the default that came with my computer. Roxio easy CD and DVD creator. out of all of my equipment, i think that it would be the burning software that is creating the problem since the problem only exists on the burnt CD. i burnt the song as a wave file, should i have made it MP3 or made it smaller?

also, i dont think that it is my monitors since i hear the same noise through them when playing the burnt CD

Hmm. ok I've never had a problem with Roxio but I've always converted from mp3 format... but that does seem to be the weakest link. try getting a free burning tool online and see if that makes a diffrence, if not. try making the file less quality than it is before burning it. it might just be the software putting in the additional note when trying to convert it. (I believe a cd uses 16 bit quality,) while a wav file can go beyond 24 bit so yeah, try diffrent software and try using a 16 bit wav file before converting so you don't let Roxio convert it for you.
hope this helps (and makes sense)

This is basically what I figured it might be. What bit depth are you recording at? If its above 16, it would be wise to convert it to a 16bit .wav as nick said before burning to CD. However, if possible try some dithering when you convert to 16bit. Dithering basically is a form of noise, or 'erroneous' signal or data which is deliberately added to sample data for the purpose of minimizing quantization error. When converting to a lower bit depth some of the data is obviusly lost, which can cause anomolies in the audio. The process of dithering can alleviate this. I can't really 100% explain to you how to do this as I am unsure of what software you would be using. If you have no audio production software, you could do a lot worse thanto download Audacity, which is a completely free sequencer. This would enable you to simply throw your .wav into it, add a dithering plugin, and convert or mixdown the file to a 44.1khz 16bit wav file (all CD's are in 44.1khz 16bit). That way the CD burner won't need to do its own conversion.
Its feasable that what I am saying could do with being elaborated on or corrected. So anyone who sees any glaring innacuracies please feel free to put us straight.

thanks guys. i converted the file to a lower quality MP3 and it seemed to work. thanks for your help.
