Topic: Sector Boundary Errors

[bersey]

I am a newbie and I am using CD Wave Editor to track a show and I still seem to be getting some sector boundary errors and I can't figure it out.  Show was recorded using the Sony PCM-M10 as 24 bit, 48 khz. I used Sound Forge Audio Studio 9.0 to add fade in/out, normalize, resample to 44.1 khz, and dither to 16 bit.  I did change the frames per second in Sound Forge to 75.  I also ran through everything in Audacity and end up with the same result.

a free program like Traders Little Helper can fix SBE's..... I'm sure there are others that do it as well, but that's what I use.....

You'll never get SBE's with CD Wave.  Use it as the last step.

I did use it as the last step except for encoding to FLAC.  I used TLH to check for SBEs and it said only the last track had and SBE (which is normal at the end, right?).  So what else could it be if not and SBE?  Something related to resample or dither?

Well, I used to do this, but it really created a lot of extra work when doing both 24 bit and 16 bit.  Now, when I encode the 16 bit WAV files to FLAC (after I've resampled and dithered the individual tracks), I just select fix SBE's in TLH.

You are only worried about the last track showing an SBE?  I'd say don't worry, but if you don't want any to show up, just use a small track split at the end and unselect that last track when you save the individual WAV files in CD Wave.

[bersey]

TLH says there is only one SBE on the last track, but I am hearing what sounds like SBEs at some of the track splits.

What player are you using? Is anything uploaded so we can take a look?

[bersey]

I was just using Windows Media Player to listen but I don't think the player is messing with my ears because other live music on my computer plays seamlessly.

[vanark]

I wouldn't trust Windows Media Player for anything.  Try foobar2000 to see if you hear the same thing.

[bersey]

Sounds fine in Foobar.  Must have been Windows Media Player.  Thanks for the help.

I use audacity and never have had a sbe so you stated you have that, I would use it
Control b adds a label/"track"
Export multi
Works like a charm

Yes, Dennis, I am aware. Believe me, it is easier the way I do it now without CD Wave as the last step on the 16 bit version.

If you say so
