Not planning to do much this evening but here's a question which I imagine someone will know the answer to.

Suppose you got a CD. Now if you record (burn?) something onto it, is it permanently on there? Or is it like a flashdrive or an old-fashioned disk or whatever, where you can delete/reorganize what's on there and keep resaving over it.

I foresee a need for some experimentation - mostly in the area of time gaps between songs and how to control those.

I have just a handful of blank CD's at the moment. They say SONY CD-R - RECORDABLE - SUPREMAS - 700 MB - if that provides any clues.

Well BIG BOY it's 2 different products you can rerecod onto cdrw's not cdr's :smooch:
 
Got it.



Here's a further question which may be more difficult to answer - but some people have a natural sense of how computers think so may have an idea.

All my songs have long empty gaps at the end of them right now. So when I transfer them to WAV files, they have like 30 seconds of silence after the songs end. It doesn't matter if I delete everything after the song is over, the silent space remains. Now maybe if I lined them all up and burned them to a disk, it would somehow know not to keep that silent gap and it would just line them up with some standard pause. I don't know.

Maybe I just need to go to the forum for the actual software maker and see if there is anybody answering questions there - or even go completely crazy and actually read some instructions - but for now I'm lobbing it out there in my weary state.
 
So frustrating - being stupid.

I went to the Steinberg forum and found a thread about the exact topic of snipping off the silence at the end of tracks. Two solutions were offered. I have no idea what either of them means. I am looking at words in English ---> no fucking idea.

I remember going through many similar frustrations getting started using the software way back when. Seemed like an impossible mountain to climb but I guess I figured things out so I guess I will with this.

Frustrating though. I'm relatively smart about some things yet so thick about others.

And no wonder. He is a fascinating, fascinating man.



Here's a question: we were talking earlier about CD's that you can use like flashdrives and keep recording over. CDRW's. I was told today that those would be mainly for data and not so much for audio.

Is that accurate?
 
I only have CDR's right now - and only like 4. I will have to buy whatever I am going to use.

I was just thinking about getting a CDRW for experimenting with those gaps between songs. I was foreseeing some farting around with that and don't want to just chuck a CD every time a gap is off by half a second from what I want. Same situation possibly with do-overs regarding small volume discrepancies.

But sounds like that is not a plan for those CDRW's.

I'll work it out though. As far as the gaps, I should be able to do one experiment and apply some math to figure out exactly what the mechanism is doing, and get it right on the second attempt.
