wave export settings.... |
 |
Hi dudes!
Maybe we already had that topic.
I was exporting my tracks as a wav-file.
I used the settings "CD Mastering" 24-bit Stereo.
I couldnīt burn those wavs on a cd though.
When I used the Settings "CD Quality" 16 bit Stereo it worked.
Now my question:
Whatīs "CD MAstering" good for and why couldnīt I burn it on CD?
I tried to burn it with Nero...do I need a special PLug-In or is it cause I canīt burn an Audio CD with 24-bit?
Does anyone of you use that Preset?
It seems like the optin "Gain" doesnīt have an effect when you export a wav as "CD Mastering".
Thx guys |

As far as I know cd's have a maximum of 16 bit stereo for sound so 24 bit simple wouldn't 'fit'.
The reason why the mastering has 24 bit beats me too.

Is very simple. Get dBpowerAMP. You can google it. It's free, and it can convert every audio format to any other audio format. Use it to convert those 24bit wave files to 16bit.
And one caveat: Because of Apple's anal-retentive licensing junk, you have to pay to convert TO mp3. all the rest of the codecs are free, and who needs mp3 anyway? It still converts FROM mp3 to other formats, and you can get all2lame or razorlame if you absolutely have to have mp3. |

When mastering it's always better to have greater quality than needed for the final production. In some processes you might loose a tad of quality. Not every project is created for cd use either. |

Yeah, what he said. It's always easy to LOSE quality, but once it's gone, it's gone. Always better to keep the quality you have. If you want to burn it to cd, you can always make a 16-bit copy, but it's impossible to get back from 16-bit to 24-bit quality. |

Besides that some mastering applications/plugins only work with 24 bits sound files .. |

If you export to 24bit you don't have to worry to lose any bit information if you don't gain up to 0dB before exporting.
Then you can normalise it in, for example Wavelab or Cool Edit, and then use some eq and compressor to master your track.
If you export to 16 bit, and you're not close to 0dB you will lose some bit information.
