Title: tracking a wav
Post by: imazephed on March 21, 2006, 01:18:07 AM

Hi all,

 I have been taking my wav files and editing the wav's in cep 2.0, finding the cue points, writing a cue sheet then burning them with cdrwin. Then extracting them with eac to get individual tracks. I am sure there is a better way. I am also wondering about dithering in cep 2.0 I just got a 722 for open taping and have never had to dither before. I have read a bunch of past post hence the purchase of a 722 well reviewed here and it seems that wavelab is the most popular but I would hate to shell out five hundred bucks for another wav editor. I downloaded r8brain and was planing on using that for the time being but if there is a plugin for cep that is better or as good I would go that route, tho I haven't read of any. Or should I just bite the bullet and get wavelab? This is starting to get expensive.

Thanks
Jason

Audacity is a free program for editing, google it my friend, and try it.

Some samples of different dithering plug-ins, should help you decide whether to use CEP internal dithering, get a plug-in, or switch to Wavelab for UV22HR:  http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=51478.0

No need to go through all that for tracking in CEP.  Easiest way to track, IMO:  CD-Wave (http://www.cdwave.com).  Track, save the cue sheet for reference, and then Save the tracks as individual files.  When working with 24-bit files, make sure to tick the Use Alternate 24-bit Format checkbox in the Save window.  Try it, and if you like it, it's well worth the $15 shareware price, IMO.

Otherwise, if you're intent on sticking with CEP - I know there's a way to do it, I just don't remember how, precisely.  It's probably in the Help file, though.  I've found CEP has an excellent Help file.

FWIW, a post on 24-bit workflow in CEP/Audition (http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=51323.0).

Thanks for the info, Cdwave is so much better than what I was doing before. I cant make up my mind on what to do about dithering I guess I will try several then make a decision on weather or not to shell out the bucks on Wavelab. This site is great so much info.

Thanks
