CLICKS OR SILENCE IN WAV FILE TRANSITIONS -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:CLICKS OR SILENCE IN WAV FILE TRANSITIONS Posted by: docrob Date:1/23/2003 10:29:31 PM hi all- whenever i edit a wav file (not a mp3 source) and save the changes i am getting extra silence or a gap in between joining songs. i noticed this when i burned a live recording after using sound forge 6.0d. i've isolated the problem to soundforge and not my other programs used in the cd making process( nero, adaptec, or cd wav). i've looked in my settings and i can't figure out what would cause this to happen. i'm i right in guessing that it's just a setup problem in sound forge? please help me if you can. thank you for your time. s.geddie@verizon.net

Subject:RE: CLICKS OR SILENCE IN WAV FILE TRANSITIONS Reply by: docrob Date:1/25/2003 3:09:51 PM i've made sure that the recording is d.a.o. when burning. i change the 2 second gap to 0. that's not the problem. it's definately sound forge's settings. could anyone tell me their settings in sf? that would be an easy way to fix my problem. thanks

The first method I can break long songs into movements on seperate tracks without even a hint of gap, all I see is the track changing. I use Easy CD Creator not because I think it's the best only because it came with my burner. If there is no blank space between songs; Place the cursor at the start of the audio in the file. Press "m" to insert a marker. Press the spacebar to start playback. Press "m" again at the crossfade location to insert another marker. Repeat to the end. Click Special > Regions List > Markers to Regions, when prompted click yes or ok. In the Regions List window highlight a region click enter to edit name. Click tools > Extract Regions and save them to a folder and burn them all in your burning software using DAO (disk at once) to prevent spaces between tracks. If you have blank space to eliminate between songs; Press "[" at the start of the song. Press spacebar to start playback. Press "]" at the end. Press "r" to create region and name it. Repeat to the end. Click tools > Extract Regions and save them to a folder and burn them all in your burning software using DAO (disk at once). MJ

I don't see anything in preferences that would cause adding silence nor do I know of a way to restore defaults. If you follow the method/s I posted by placing markers at the very start and end of the audio there should be nothing within the region other than audio. MJ

how long are these silences between songs you're talking about? if it's about 2 secs you should check to see if you don't have pauses between songs enabled in your burning program. this is enabled by default, so you would manually have to remove it in the burning program of choice.
