Q: Loud Pop at the end of my session ??

I had this problem on the old OS9 version.
Drawing in a little fade-out at the end of the last track
was the solution then.
I never had any problems in WB since using an external FW-Burner,
a Lacie, on a seperate FW bus (via pci card).

Today my new internal dvd writer arrived. After installing it, I burned a few audio master cd's.

None of them had the loud pop at the end of the session.

Fade-out at the end made no difference.
But erasing Cd text and Isrc code and uncheck it, did avoid the loud pop at the end.

I am convinced it's not a WaveBurner problem. It also happens with another mastering program in Bootcamp.
Anyway, with my new DVD writer the problem has gone.

I just found this on another forum and am testing it at the moment:




And, I totally found the problem, too... It's the SCMS settings in the "PQ Codes" section when you look at the data for each CD track. The settings in the file I downloaded were set to "protected original". I changed them all to "free", burned it again, and the pops were gone...

Give it a whirl! Cool

I just tested this theory and it DIT NOT FIX MY PROBLEM. My "pop" occurs where I dropped a marker in the middle of an audio file. When playing the burned CD, there's a tiny tick or pop at the transition. Still broken in 1.6.0 and 1.6.1.

All my burned cd's that contained the loud pop at the end were set to "free".

Unchecking all cd text etc. avoids the loud pop.

Or use a CD burner that supports DAO.(Not DVD at once).
