ez cd creator/sound forge - Club CDFreaks

Hi,

I play and record live on a daily basis and just lately I’ve run into a snag.

When I burn a cd (using e-z cd creator at a burning rate of 4X’s), from a soundforge .wav file (which I have recorded live and edited), the cd has an “S” problem (almost all my S,s are coming out distorted and sound like “Ths’s). It isn’t peaking, just a little distorted sounding. Enough to call ones attention to it and ruin the recording. I don’t hear this when I listen to the original sound forge .wav file. The eq’ing is fine and the “S’s” sound normal. It’s only audible on the cd I burn.

Any ideas? Or other forums (or newsgroups) that could help?

Thank you so much in advance for any help

How are you playing that disc?
Did you try it in the CD drives of your computer?
Do you notice a difference between playing it in analog mode or digital mode?

Have you tried different media and different players (and burners)?
different burning speeds?

Thanks really allot for taking notices. I'm pulling my hair out. I've got some perfectly great recordings if I hadn't have ran into this little problem! Here's a reply to your reply.

>>How are you playing that disc? ....on a gateway laptop which utilizes a Toshiba dvd/cdrw cd rom drive. I also played the disk back on 2 different stand alone cd players and got the same result.

>>Do you notice a difference between playing it in analog mode or digital mode? .... I'm not sure what you mean.

Thanks again for your ideas. I have a hunch I'm gonna be doing a little experimenting and trash a few cd's before I solve this one!

Your CD drive can play the discs in analog mode, like a standalone player, or in digital mode, through the IDE bus.

You shouldn't hear any difference when playing in digital mode, if the copy has been exact.

You can rip the original and the copy to WAV files, and then compare if the data is the same with "Compare WAVs" Tool in EAC (Exact Audio Copy).
