I've got a problem burning with CD Architect with a Yamaha
4416S. Specs are as follows:
* P2-400, 128MB RAM, Windows 98 or NT (neither work =P)
* Asus P2BS Motherboard, w/integrated Adaptec 7890 U2W SCSI
* Yamaha 4416 BIOS 1.0g
* Sound Forge 4.5 and CD Architect 4.0f
This problem was identified by someone else earlier (sorry,
I forgot the name), but was never addressed as far as I can
tell.
The drive identifies fine. In fact, everything looks and
appears to operate fine. The problem lies in the finished
product.
When I play the disc in my home stereo, a random number
(although usually tracks 2, 3, 5, 8, 11, and 13) of tracks
are inaccessable by skipping through the tracks. These
tracks ARE there and DO play correctly if you let the CD
play through. Strange? Yes. But what I find *really*
strange is that when you let it play through, the tracks
that you cant access by seeking start playing in NEGATIVE
time.
These discs will not work in my Sony CDX-710 10 disc
changer in my car; or at least not past track 2. Track 3
starts, goes for about 2 mins, then starts to skip and
stutter (rather annoyingly, I might add). You can hear the
mechanism spin up and spin down in an attempt to re-read
the disc. My Sony CDX-810DSP in-deck fares a little
better, however it still has problems with the 3rd track
and up.
CDA isnt complaining about any non-redbook errors or
anything, the disc appears to burn fine. I can take the 2
sec gaps out, blend/merge tracks, whatever.. it doesnt
matter how I burn it, it still comes out screwed.
The one thing I have noticed is that CDA gets about 20%
through writing the lead-in before the drive is actually
ready to burn (ie., its stopped seeking and whatnot). All
the other software I have waits for the drive to finish
seeking before it begins to write the lead-in.
Which means, although I'm ashamed to say it, but
Crapdaptech CD Creator works fine (well, as fine as CD
Creator goes anyways).
As I produce my own stuff, I do need the control that CDA
gives me over the project. The thought of having to make
one giant wav file and then burning one huge continuous
track in CD Creator does not appeal to me.
Comments? Suggestions? RTFM's? Anything!??! After what
I've paid for this thing, it really *would* be nice for it
to work right =) Even if it does mean a slap in the face
and a few ha ha's at my expense.
