Apparently the Crowes shows I seeded Wednesday night (http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=18473) has SBEs all throughout the 2nd set.
No idea what could've happened, as I tracked the sets with CD Wav as always. The only difference between this and pretty much every other show I've ever taped/seeded was the resampling process.
The first set I resampled to 44.1 when it was still one long wav, then tracked/flacked/etc. The 2nd set I'd already tracked when I realized it was still at 48kHz. I then did a batch resample, encoded to flac, and thought it was ready to go.
Any ideas? Has Wavelab been known to do this? I'd always used Soundforge before, but got a copy of Wavelab and figured I'd give it a shot. I know I'd done individual track resampling without any errors in SF.

check Damon's WL thread/
if i'm not mistaken. it was brought up in that thread about the how the batch processor can be a little flakey in "our versions" of WL 5.
-
fwi any show I have ever done that way (mostly 24/96 shows I was dithering/resampling) have always had a sbe after.
-
just use flac frontend to correct the SBE's when encoding and problem solved ;)

Actually, I think you might be getting a click because the waveforms don't match exactly at the beginnings and ends of the tracks, in addition to whatever length issues are going on.
They would match up fine if you resampled the whole thing before tracking.
I've had this problem myself. Line the files up sequentially and I will bet you the waves don't flow into each other at the track marker... so best just to resample before tracking.
-
and if wavelab chokes on the files saying their too big, just set the temp file size to 24 or 16-bit float temp files instead of the 32-bit default ;)
-
two things,
1) definately resample before tracking, as the waveforms will not be the same length as the 48k file.
2) use the appropriate markers, not just the general track markers, like "cd begin", "cd splice", and "cd end"
i find it's easier to just insert general markers and then right-click, edit to different types of markers. in this screen you can line up to SB properly.
i think damon's thread also explains it well.

Why would you ever track before mastering?

I'm way to neurotic to ever do that man, if i change ANYTHING after i master i need to redo the entire shit.
