I learned this morning I don't even know how to burn a music DVD.
Thought I'd throw my unedited recording onto a disc and give it a listen, see how it sounds, and it won't play.
I have no clue what I'm doing wrong.
Can someone point me to some 24-bit "How To" threads?
I need to do a lot of reading and I don't know where to start.
I recorded 15+ hours this past weekend on my R-09 . . . now I need to learn what the hell to do with it.
:)

do you have a DVD player capable of reading DVD-A? If its older the answer is likely no. If yes, the easiest way to do a quick burn is to convert the file to FLAC and then use DVD-Audiofile (http://24bit.turtleside.com/DVD-Audiofile0.42win.zip)
Click on "Add Files" to add the file(s) when you are done click on Create ISO. When you choose a file name be sure to add .iso to the end of the file. Save it somewhere easy to find. You then need to use your burning software to burn the ISO file to disc.
If you use nero the easiest way is to open Nero Express and click "Burn Disc Image or Saved Project." Add the ISO file to the project and burn away.
Also lots of other good 24bit info here....http://24bit.turtleside.com/

Thanks, Mikey.
My car has a very nice DVD audio system.
I really appreciate the instruction . . . I will give it a shot in a little bit.
Does it matter whether I use DVD+ or DVD-?

It'll depend on the player.....my Acura will do DVD-R, but NOT DVD+R. I'd suggest burning one of each and doing a test. If you're lucky, they will both work :D

I've got an Acura, too. I'll try the DVD-R first.
Thank you. :)

Wooo-hooo . . . it worked !!
Thanks for the step-by-step. :)

let me know if you need any help with the dither/resampling process - really not much once you get the hang of it, and soon you'll have stuff seeding quicker than you could have transferred the DAT ;D

You know me, Mikey . . . I'll need help. :P
Is there more to it than saving it in 16/44 format? Sound Forge gives me the option of saving it in different formats.
Okay . . . it's probably not the easy. Wishful thinking, maybe.
-
no, its no harder than that. but there are better ways, better software..etc.
IMO, master at 24/44. that makes things MUCH easier. and you wont miss those measley 4000 odd samples per second. there aint crap in there any way.
liking the R9 ?
slick deck.

Thanks for the info. I've been wondering how to do the DVD-a thing. On the subject of dithering. What is everyone using now? I've seen the "shoot-out" article but I can't find a copy of mega-bit-max anywhere.
Anyone have a copy of MBM i can "test out".
I've been using soundforge and r8brain to dither/resample....how do those stand up?
Thanks for the info.

Only place I know of for MegaBitMax on a Windows platform: iZotope Ozone (http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/ozone/). They offer a free trial version (only outputs ~40 seconds of audio before inserting a 1 sec stretch of silence). Full retail ~$250, but I suspect it's available elsewhere for less, though I've not looked much.

Without starting a platform war, I will say that if you owned a Mac, this wouldn't be an issue. Buy Wave Editor and get that for free. They licensed the iZotope code and built it directly into their product.

Has the new major release come out yet, Wayne? I've been waiting for that before I plunk down the $.

Josephine, Not to jack this thread, or anything, but did you get to tape Cephas and Wiggins? Did you post in another thread about your festival adventure, and I just missed it?
Inquiring minds...

Thanks for chiming in, Wayne - I thought MBM was included in one of the available Mac editors, but wasn't sure which one. Good info. :coolguy:

Unfortunately, Pat, it call boiled down to a matter of logistics. There were three stages, and I wasn't able to cover them all. With only 10 minutes to get from one stage to the other, I had to restrict myself to two stages. As much as I wanted to see them (in light of all the recommendations here), I couldn't.
I do need to post regarding my weekend. I've been too busy trying to keep up with work . . just haven't had time. Herb took some great pictures we want to share with you all . . . not to mention the hours and hours of music I was able to capture. :)

New version is not out, but will included the updated iZotope code.
