Hello All, Need help. Real novice here. Just recorded my 1st CD w/ my new HP9350i and MYHP CD software. The copy contains mucho noise. (Clicks, pops, talking sounds?) The CDwriter was the only drive used along with a blank Imation CD-R media. How do I prevent or remove noise? Thanks
 
does the wav, mp3, or whatever file play back clean in windows media player or whatever? can you burn other files , like data files with no problems? is the burner set to master or slave , if you know?
 
What did you use to extract (rip) the audio from the original CD?

If you used the CD player that originally came with your computer, that could be the problem. Not all CD players can extract digital audio properly - in particular, older (or cheap) models don't do this well at all.

I would suggest that you use your new CD burner to extract the audio to your hard drive first. Then burn the resulting files back to a blank CD-R from your hard drive. Most burners should extract digital audio fairly well, and that should eliminate the noise your are getting.

This, of course, will take twice as long, but you should get much better results.
 
This extraction process to the HD is generally called creation of an "image"...just so you know what to look for in the software...
