Steinberg's "Get It On CD" Puts Tomahawk Scalping Static On Our CD-R's

[William D. Sell]

Dear all at homerecording.com:

Is anyone here familiar with Steinberg's "Get It On CD ?" (I searched all the posts here and I could not find any mention of this program anywhere)

So far, this is the only program that we have used -- and we are happy with it (ignorance is bliss ???).

My wife and I have made a test recording that we are happy with (still on the HD) and we wanted to burn it so that we could listen to it on the stereo and in the car (this was really just to check out the everyday use quality).

Well, four trashed CD-R's later I decide to drop y'all a line to ask for help.

I am following the directions to the best of my knowledge and even recording on the lowest speed; the program performs all of the checks and tells me all is well after it has made the CD -- yet when I pop it in the home stereo there is no piano music. *** Instead of piano music there is a static that hurts my eyeballs !***

What is going on and how do I fix it ? ! ? Please help us to be less stupid.

Thank you for considering this matter.

Regards --

-- Will

Guys,

I looked at some adds on the net for that software since I have not used it myself. I must say I'm confused, since the whole point of the program seems to be about burning redbook audio CDs.

One question - When you record with this software, does it have any settings for "resolution"? Meaning, can you record at 24-bit vs. 16-bit? or 48kHz vs. 44.1kHz?

The only thing I can think of right now without more information is that the program is putting the wrong type of audio on the disk (but that's a major leap.) Anyone have any better ideas?

Thanks for the quick response --

I read about this earlier on when we were setting up the program. Yes -- I can change the "resolution."

The default is 16-bit/44.1kHz -- and I have not changed this (I saw that this was selected by the program).

Thanks again --

Not static overlaid over the music you recorded, an awful static-y-type noise rather than any music? My friend, it sounds as if you are making yourself data CD-ROMs, which are not audio CDs. If you try to play one in an audio CD player you'll get some godawful racket.

Just to clarify, if you have recorded in anything other than 16-bit, 44.1 kHz, the resolution and sampling rate will have to be changed (some burners will do this on the fly in the background for you, I suspect) before you can burn it to audio CD. Standard audio CDs are 16-bit/44.1 kHz, period. I suspect most burners won't even bother trying since they can easily detect the type of data you're trying to transfer, so I doubt you can accidentally burn a 24-bit recording to an audio CD.
