Topic: Easy to use program to take 24 bit from pmd661 to make red book cd

[mbahcall]

Need help to record audio cd from 24 bit file. I do not need all of the mixing capability just would like to transfer to cd. Would like good sound and not too expensive of software. Mostly record classical music and wondering if I need to go to the trouble of high bit rate and record rate.

You may want to contact a mastering service if its required to be redbook certified.

What you could do is get audacity and takes those 24bit files and make them into 16 bit / 44.1 kHz.

Wave Editor does both Red Book CD's & incorporates iZotope's renowned 64-bit SRC™ /  MBIT+™ dither.

I use both Wave editor and  sample manager  ( I got Sample manage before WE)
they are great
except for the lack of keyboard shortcut zoom feature...
very solid!
Only Mac based I believe?

Audacity does some weird adding of empty bits on any dither /SRC - on the end of tracks- however that may be a mac only issue - it just does not handle the 24- 16 or 48 to 44.1 change well
