Subject:wave-editing headers Posted by: MaK_I Date:10/13/1999 7:35:00 PM I'm a technical ludite, so be kind.... I very recently purchased an HP CD-R Writer Plus 7510e, and included in the software (along with Adaptic Easy CD Creator) was ACID MUSIC 1.0. Now my question may seem quite simple (I'm hoping anyway), but when I record in DAO, the software is writing the soundfiles with the headers attached (resulting in fluttering and a click at the start of each track when played back on a CD player). My question, can the ACID MUSIC program remove these headers, and if so... how the hell do I do it?! By the way, the songs are being ripped from CD's... they are not MP3's or anything like that. Thank you for any help that you can provide.
Subject:Re: wave-editing headers Reply by: NickW Date:10/23/1999 3:38:00 PM I would try opening the files in ACID, zoom in and edit off any spikes or glitches you see at the start of the audio and then save it out as a "Mixed Wave File". Worth a try, at least. I think all wave files have a basic header but this should not be audible on an audio CD. If there is data making a pop, it's because it's probably something non-standard or proprietary, and saving a wave file from ACID should remove it. Or it might be caused by writing the discs in several track-at-once sessions, you might get better results writing the entire CD at one time.
