I was messing around with burning some CD's from my recordings and I tried to put this little drum solo on a CD. When I listen back, all 8 songs were recorded on the CD but this one is the only one that came out like this. I recorded it on an ADAT XT and went straight to CD through the Mackie 32.8.

Thanks.... and don't worry, it's only one minute long!

Solo with pops

so you DIDNT hear it until youplayed the CD back ?

Its OK on tape ?
 
yeah it's fine on the ADAT but my all my ADAT's are boxed up and put away....DEEP!!
I can't get to them easliy so that sucks!

No download, eh? Couldn't listen. I try to avoid M$ if at all possible so no WMP for me.

Most crackling/popping problems are related to bus timing issues. This was a problem with IDE/ATA host cards in beige PowerMacs until they figured out that slowing the data tranfer rates cleared things up.

M.Brane- I'm a bit confused on this issue of bitrates. hypothetically, if I recorded a piece on let's say Cakewalk, at 48K and wanted to go straight to a dat but at 44.1, I would first have to adjust the bitrate!?? But if in that same scenario if I went from the computer to an anaolg board to the dat, then the sample rate at which I recorded doesn't matter...... right?

I wasn't aware of the download problem with nowhereradio. I'll check it out.
Thanks

Okay... I changed it! It can be downloaded now.....

I'm listening right now. Nice solo! :cool:

That sounds like either the burner couldn't get the data fast enough or bad media. Sometimes I get a similar problem when burning a copy of a scratched disk from my Pioneer CD-ROM. It's real picky when it's asked to read fast. My Plextor doesn't seem to care that much.

Exactly how was your data path set up when you burned this?

As for the bit rate thing you always want to dither when you downsample. The dither should be the very last thing in the chain. If your going back to analog though it's not necessary because the noise you add by doing that is a form of dither itself. :eek: Once you go to digital it's really best to stay there if you can.
 
The data path was just from the ADAT through the Mackie, to the Philips CDR770 Burner. No computer or DAT involved. The CD is a Maxell CDR Music.

Thanks,

Ah, OK. ADAT-D/A-mixer-A/D-burner. Probably bad media if it only happened on one song. Did that song happen to be near the end of the disc? I've had that problem too with some discs. It'll read fine until the last couple of tracks.
 
yeah... it was the last song, about 50 minutes into a 74 minute CD.
Thanks,
