Hey,
Sorry for all the "Help" topics, but I am a software noob.
I am trying to track out a recording that I did in 24 bit, but CD Wave only reads files that at 8 or 16-bits.
Is there any way around this??
Thanks

if your working in 24 bit then there is no way in CDWave. As you said it's only for 16 bit. Your software you recorded it with should hav ethe ability to track it out. I may be worng but I was told sector boundry issues don't exist in 24 bit files. This what i have heard.

If you need the software...IM me on aolim at phirhouf52

just getting into it ,myself..what is up w/ the sector boundaries??? please help.... :'(

CD audio tracks breaks must be on a sector boundary, otherwise, the rest of the sector is filled with zeroes before the new track begins. Sectors are 1/75 of a second. When the audio is split on boundaries, the CD plays back seamlessly.
Since this is a limitation of how audio CDs are burned, it does not exist in non-CD audio, such as 24-bit. As far as I know, DVD-A does not have an issue with where tracks are broken.
HTH,

how do you secure them to make sure the track is on the 'sector boundary'..... ??? ;)
thanks,

say, coming from a dat > cdwave :)

Bean, if you're using CD wave, just hit "split" and it'll split the file on a sector boundary automatically. I don't know if you can do it while recording from DAT to your computer, but you definitely can do it on an opened wave file.
PM me if you need more help, and I'll talk you through it.

isnt it also true that if you only play a 16bit file on a hdd, sectory boundaries are also irrelevant. it has only to do with cdr media.

Yep.
