Cross fading?

[dbminter]

Can we get an option in ImgBurn when creating Audio CD's to cross fade on tracks like Nero and I believe Easy Media Creator have in their applications?

 

 

Unless it's already there and I don't see it. Using a Custom Pre-Gap of 75 Frames, e.g. 1 sec, wouldn't do cross fade the tracks would it?

 

 

The reason I ask is this is something I've noticed for many years in Nero, Easy Media Creator, and in ImgBurn. When selecting a 0 second Pre-Gap for tracks that make up spoken word audio CD's, there is sometimes a slight pause between the tracks, even when 0 seconds gap is selected. If I make an image of a spoken word CD, the image burns with no pauses in between the tracks. But, if I make MP3's of the tracks on the same spoken word CD and then create an audio CD, there is sometimes, but not always, a noticeable hiccup in the audio when the tracks change. The only way I've found around this is to use 1 second cross-fading in Nero.

 

 

So, I'm suggesting a cross fade option. If it's already there in ImgBurn, please let me know what to do to get a spoken word audio CD to get around the hiccups I mentioned.

I tried an experiment using 1 Frame Pre-Gap and still got the audio hiccups/pauses sometimes between the end of one track and the start of the next one. So, a custom 75 Frames/1 Sec setting would do the same thing, I'd think. Thus, I guess I will have to request a request for cross-fading.

MP3 obviously isn't a lossless format - what you encode is not what you end up with after decoding. That's why you can end up with a 'less than perfect' decoded file.

 

Audio manipulation is not my thing so I'm sorry but you'll never get this option in ImgBurn.

This reply is mostly for my note for future reference.

 

 

In Nero, set the cross fade to 1 second for best results. 1 Frame or 0.13 repeating Seconds causes the same results as the 0 second Gap in ImgBurn or No pause between tracks in Nero.
