yes, this is indeed possible. it is done all the time by folks who package live music for pressing onto CDs you buy at the store... >>What tools allow this? For example, we all have tracks with minutes of >>crowd noise which we'd like to edit out, paricularly if it allows space for >>another track to fit on a disk. I'm using Adaptec (now Roxio) CD Creator 4 >>and it doesn't have this feature. I've looked at version 5 and it doesn't >>seems to offer this feature either. I use the Roxio EZCDC 4 and you are correct, it does not have a clue how to do what you're asking it do. what you really need is a program that allows you to edit/process PCM- coded WAV files. for this you have a lot of choices out there and only your budget makes the final determination. possibilities: - Sonic Factory Sound Forge or Sound Forge XP (XP is $60 as a download) - Syntrillium Cool Edit or Cool Edit Pro - CDWave (etree's 1st choice in "tracking" software) I own Sound Forge XP and use it for dealing with the wave files I record of my kid's school band and it has a lot of processing options available. The CDWave option is the least desirable since all you would be able to do is chop off the crowd noise and really what you want to do is gently fade it out between tracks so that the applause isn't 3 minutes long... Sound Forge XP does have a "fade" processing option that allows fading in & out so that might well be your best deal. after processing the tracks and getting rid of the excess crowd noise, you trim the silence and then take the "new" tracks into EZCDC4 to burn the tracks to CD. >>Thanks, >>[EMAIL PROTECTED] hope it helps.... ------------------------------------- Dennis Parrott [EMAIL PROTECTED] etree list: http://db.etree.org/dparrott Yahoo IM: dennis_parrott _______________________________________________ etree.org etree mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://mail.etree.org/mailman/listinfo/etree Need help?
