Re: CD Mastering Conundrum Continues

[jim palmer <jimp@pobox.com>]

i have nero v5 and i was pretty sure i had done this,
so i just did it again and this works:
    -leave the file you want whole (don't cut it into separate wavs)
    -add it to nero
    -double click the track and click the "idexes, limits, split" tab
    -find each point you want to have a track index and click the "split" 
button
        (note: the split does not happen until you click "ok")
    -make sure all tracks  have 0 sec. pause (set in "track properties" 
tab)
        (except track one - redbook spec won't allow this)
    -burn with disc-at-once

i did this and cannot hear clicks between tracks.

try it and let me know, it could very well be my ears are more damaged 
than yours.
mine have been subjected to lotsa loud-ass monitors and such...

(getting in-ear monitors next week as well as a hearing check, but i'm not 
sure i want to know...)
