medjuck Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 I downloaded mine from the iTunes Music Store because I was too impatient to wait for a hard copy to arrive in Santa Barbara. (Actually I still haven't seen it here-- though I haven't really looked.) When I burned it to cd I left the usual 2 seconds between cuts but I find that the appluase between numbers ends abruptly enough to be distracting. When I play it on iTunes where I have no space between cuts the tunes almost run into each other with very little applause between them. So my stupid question is: On the cd do the cuts have a pause between them or do they have just a bit of applause between them? (Or is it something else entirely that iTunes is fucking up?) Quote
Eric Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 I am not positive, but I think it is an iTunes thing. I think (but am not positive) that you can adjust the time between tracks within iTunes. I have noticed this problem on most live CDs that I play in my iPod. Quote
bertrand Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 (edited) I noticed the same thing. I think it's because on a lot of live albums, the cuts are kind of blended together, even though there's an official separation between tracks. If you burn the CD straight through, it works fine. If you burn it track by track, you get the abrupt ending. Haven't figured out how to sove it in iTunes yet. Sometimes I join tracks, but usually only on studio stuff (e.g., the suite on Side A of Ballad Of The Fallen - if you don't merge 'em, the tracks end abruptly). For live stuff, I live with it, knowing that the CD player is still the optimal playback system - the iPod is for convenience, but what convenience! Some people have asked me why I keep the CDs after they've been loaded into iTunes! What kind of reply can I give them? Bertrand. Edited October 7, 2005 by bertrand Quote
CJ Shearn Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 my DVD player has a slight pause between tracks and gets kind of annoying on live albums. Quote
medjuck Posted October 7, 2005 Author Report Posted October 7, 2005 OK but is there a pause between tracks on this particular cd? Quote
robviti Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 (edited) the answer is no, except for one pause between tracks 5 and 6. Edited October 7, 2005 by jazzshrink Quote
Aftab Posted October 9, 2005 Report Posted October 9, 2005 There is a setting in the burning tab of preferences I believe where yo can select 'no pause between tracks' - this should burn the cd smooth with no noticeable gaps Quote
