when I bought my PC in Jan I purchased Nero 7 Ultra with the intention of getting a USB type audio input device so I could digitize all of my records (12 inch LP ) and cassettes to either MP3 or directly onto CD. I recently purchased an ADS Tech USB Audio Codex box. life is good so far. first off I did check Nero's website and followed the FAQ instructions for what is below. and yes I have made sure that all of the Nero programs are up to date
I fire up Nero and use the SoundTrax program to download a test cassette into an audio file (Nero's .AC3 file)
first problem when I try to use the digital monitoring feature no sound from my speakers. check the sound settings in Control Panel. they are correct accourding to the ADS instructions. play around a bit and find that if I have Nero ShowTime (music/DVD/video player) open I can get sound. OK not too bad but not as per what I expected and what was in the instructions both in the ADSTech box and Nero
Second problem is the most frustrating. I get the cassette dubbed into my computer, using the provided wizard tape to CD, go thru the steps to lower noise level, let the wizard automatically split up the songs into individual tacks as per instructions and burn a test CD. the songs are split up wrong. there is a apporx 30 second lag between the split I see on the screen and the ACTUAL split on the CD. OK maybe I did something wrong. go back and re-dub the cassette and do not burn the CD right away. get into SoundTrax and look at the file. the auto track splits seem to be in the right place (each track is in a different color and playing the file verifies this to an extent. burn another CD. the tracks are still split wrong -- about 30 seconds too soon meaning the track split is about 30 seconds BEFORE the end of the song and nowhere near the generated/visual split marker
Now rather than keep wasting CD-R's I use a CD-RW. I re-dub the cassette with the wizard but do not let the program auto split the individual tracks and do not burn a CD immediately. SoundTrax gives me one big long audio file file. I adjust the settings so the sound wave display give me enough detail that I can determine where the space between songs is. I manually insert track splits inside soundtrax and dump to CD-RW. again playing the file on my PC and the CD result in the same thing again the split is approx 30 seconds early.
Now I try to use Nero Wave Editor to manually insert track splits into the AC3 file and save as individual files and try to paste/insert them
NADA Nothing is going right. I this something I am doing wrong or am I doing things in the wrong sequence or what???????
any hints????
Thanks
