Does anyone know a trick or two for getting a seamless flow from one song to another i.e. a live album where there are no 2 second pauses.I use Feurio! and have tried both methods below but although their is no 2 second pause...their is a very very tiny "noise"..I mean very tiny
where the two songs are joined and it still drives me nuts....I usually download an ALBW and join or a complete cd and then track edit it.....Anyone get flawless joining? Below I believe Feurio trys to explain the problem but I haven't clued in...Any tips are appreciated..happens with Nero too BTW so.........It's only a tiny noise right at the second of joining but still....Thank you.

best,

Feurio.......

Pauses between the tracks:

In this menu you can select if a pause between the tracks shall be inserted.

The following settings are available:


Insert no pauses between the tracks - round track marks

In this mode Feurio! do not insert any pauses between the wave files, the wave files will be burned directly one after the other.
Unfortunately there is a little problem with it:
Due to the structure of the CD directory the start of a track always has to be a sector start. A CD-Audio sector contains 588 samples.
If you use wave files that do not contain a multiple of 588 samples the next starting position can not be set exactly. In this mode Feurio! sets the track mark to the nearest sector start, i. e. the start position will be shifted a maximum of 294 samples.
If you attach great importance to exact start positions, you have to choose the mode ”Minimum pauses - Fill up tracks to multiple of sector size”


Minimum pauses - Fill up tracks to multiple of sector size


In this mode Feurio! inserts exactly as many null samples at the end of each wave file as are required to get a multiple of the CD sector size.
If the used wave files already contain a multiple of the CD sector size, no additional null samples are added.

Using Nero, load the tracks into the burn window, select tracks from 2 to the end and go into properties. Rather than checking the 2 secind gap option, set crossfade with previous track at the bottom and set it to 4 frames. What this does is overlaps the small periods of 'silence' inserted when tracks are ripped from the original giving you a seamless mix. Works 99% of the time.

The only way you can guarantee completely removing the silence is to edit each track.

Just to add......make sure you are writing DAO. If you are using TAO that might account for the tiny glitch when the laser pauses between tracks.

Thank you for your responses folks..appreciate it.The problem is when I tried to cross fade to 4 "frames" it changed to 300 frames when I pressed apply....It will allow 4 seconds or 300 frames but not 4 frames under cross fade...Did you mean "4 seconds" Green blade?

No 4 frames.

Change the setting to frames first then enter 4. If you select 4 first and then frames, it often changes it for you as you have described.
