CD Burning
« on: May 25, 2013, 01:56:17 am »
Quick question regarding cd burning. If JRiver encounters a non-compatible audio cd sample or bit rate, what will happen? have not tested it yet, in the process of buying a replacement burner to burn off cds for a club dj set.

anyone? be nice to know if i'll need to reduce bit depth / sample rate in wavelab, or does jriver do this automatically? unable to test this out yet.

All I can osmose on this one are the Wiki entries:
http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Create_%28Burn%29_CDs_or_DVDs
http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Pops_and_Clicks
but this entry:
http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Troubleshooting_For_CD_Burning
has the following little pearl of wisdom:
Quote
By default, the program is set to decode files directly to CD. That means that the files are decoded "on-the-fly" from their native formats (mp3, ogg, ape, etc.) to CD compatible wave data as the burning process is taking place. The alternative method creates a temporary intermediate file that is then written directly to the disk.

This implies to me that if your digital audio file can play on MC, then it's "compatible" and MC will just deal with it and encode it to disc to suit. However, not knowing the in-depth detail of MC's burning mechanism I'm just having a logic driven stab in the dark [cue little yellow dude packing a set of sunnies - Corey Hart style] ...  8)

[Edit] - I'd also expect that MC up or downsamples the audio file to CD standard 16bit/44.1kHz but again that's only a guess. That detail isn't covered in the Wiki. Reflecting on it now, even if it's a statement of the obvious, that tech detail would be worthwhile mentioning.

From this post:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=72182.0
it would appear that JohnT is the guy on the development team who's the most clued up on this sort of detail. Maybe you could PM or email him direct (his direct address is mentioned in the post)?

thanks for the help astromo, will look into it a bit further.
I have ape/wav files that are 24/96, 24/44 etc. be great if JRiver does dither and downsample these in nice quality to 16 bit 44.1khz for CD burning.

MC will just convert them to Redbook audio, without applying any other changes.  You could try one to see.
