Normalise tracks when burning a CD

If I have tracks from various sources and amplitude how can I normalise the amplitude when burning to a CD

Using Normalize will get the peak amplitudes in your files to be the same, but it won't normalize the actual loudness (or 'volume' if you like) of the files, which depends on several other things, and it's very subjective. Personally I do this by ear because of the subjectiveness, but there is a tool in Audition which will attempt to do the task for you. Rather than go through it all here, have a look at the 'match volume across multiple files' section in the on-line manual, page 60.

Duplication of a short section of track when burning a cd

Has anyone had this problem when burning a cd? A short section from the start of the next track is included at the end of the previous track. It doesn't happen every time but more often than not. I have tried changing the gap between trcks and that doesn't make any difference.
I didn't have this problem on my old PowerBook G4. It's only since I moved to a new laptop and new OS.

Thanks for your reply. I've tried a lower burn speed but it didn't make any difference.
Perhaps I should explain what I'm trying to do. I'm converting all my old 1960s & '70s LPs to CD. I transfer them in to Audacity, edit as necessary and put labels on each track, then export to AIFF format, then import to iTunes to burn a CD. Any other suggestions?

Mike,
There is an iMovie forum, please click the link and repost your question. I suspect the iMovie guru's may be able to help you out.

ITunes changes track order when burning discs

When burning a playlist to disc iTunes changes the track order. I want the disc to have the same track order as my playlist. How do I do that?

Jim VanLeeuwen wrote:
How your CD appears in iTunes depends on the column selections. In list view in iTunes, select the column to the left of the track names to see the CD track order. To see the actual order of the tracks on the CD, open the CD in Finder by double-clicking the CD on the desktop. The tracks will be preceded by a number corresponding to their order on the CD and that is the order they should play in your CD player. If you use the Finder's list view, your CD should reflect the order in the playlist you burned it from.
Play the CD in your CD player? Does the order match the original playlist?
Nope, when I put it in my car CD player the tracks are randomized. On the playlist I can put the tracks in the order that I wanted them in and when I burn them iTunes randomizes the order on the cd. I've burned it 4 more times and each time the tracks have been randomized. This is also with a cd that I bought from the ITS. So the playlist is in track order and I even checked the tags and the numbers are in the correct order.

When burning my pictures to CD, a burn failed, medium write error came up.

When burning my pictures from IPhoto to a CD, a burn failed, medium write error showed up,

Like many other suggestions I found, I went ahead and purchased a lens cleaner. The CD instructions said to insert and play track 2, but my drive would just keep ejecting the CD. But it worked! That and a little compressed air.
Before using the lens cleaner and compressed air, my drive would constantly give me a medium write error and always make loud vibrating noises that sounded like my drive was about to explode. But now it writes like a charm and is completely silent!

CPU is maxed when burning.

Hi!
When burning a disc ITunes my CPU usage runs at a pretty constant 100 percent and the PC slows waaaaaaay slow.
My setup is pretty fast and up to date. I posted the log results below, One item of note might be: "No drivers in LowerFilters".
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks,

Writing CD text is turned on in the preferences. If you’re having problems burning CDs, try turning this preference off.

Katrina is right, and it is in fact a good precaution to not have anything else running while the burn is going on.
I also suggest that you not use the CD Text option; it has been implicated in burning problems, and iTunes cannot read CD Text anyway.

Itunes freezes when burning CDs

Similar post to others here. Since upgrade to IT 6, Itunes freezes when trying to burn some CDs. IT shows as "not-responding" in task manager. Seems to happen when burning CDs with newly downloaded tracks, perhaps in combination with imported tracks. I've tried several suggestions posted here.
- I uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes and Quicktime
- Installed updated BIOS, chipset, and CD R drivers
No luck.
Sometimes if I wait 3-5 minutes it will start the burn. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Log follows.

Gaps in audio when burning on dvds and cd

When I burn a dvd and add audio, I have gaps in the playback on the audio only.

Hello BCRC,
What make / model computer are you using?
What operating system?
What program are you using to burn the DVD's and CDs?
By gaps are you meaning that there is a gap from one track to the next and you are looking to burn gapless discs, or are you referring to the audio actually skipping parts of the audio when burning?

Sound Issue when burning an imovie HD projet with iDVD

I've just finished a 45 minutes movie with a rich sound track, using the video recorded sound, mixed with music & garage band loops and effects.
In Imovie, I've used a variable sound level adjustment to have a good sound mix. When playing with iMovie, everything is fine.
When burning my DVD, the volume levels in the soundtrack are incorrect with big sound variations each time i've used a mix of 2 sound effect, one with a decreasing volume, the other one with increasing sound volume at the same time for example.
Is there any known bug issue regarding this ?
Imac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)
Imac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Problem found !
Karls answer's helped me to findout the issue.
Nevertheless, this wasn't the bug.
When playing the movie in iMovie HD, sound rendering is not correct. When you burn your DVD, sound track is calculated to mix every sound tracks according to each sound volume curve defined in iMovie.
If you see a dot at the beginning of a sound track this mean that the DVD sound rendering will be incorrect.
Clean the and make sure that, when you select a sound object, you can change its volume by adjusting it, not manually, but using the general volume cursor. If not, you have a problem. Remake a perfect flat volume curve before adjusting it again.

CD boundary when burning 2-disc album

Hello!
I wonder if it's possible to make iTunes respect the disc numbers stored in track metadata, when burning a 2-disc album. It's annoying that iTunes seems to fit as many songs as possible on the first disc. The problem probably also accumulates further in the case of 3 or more discs. I would like each iTunes-made disc to have as many tracks as the original recording.
One solution is to make a separate play list containing only the songs on a particular disc of the multi-disc album, and then burn the playlist. However, I would like to make this automatic.

Strange, that option is working fine here. Has it worked before on the same computer? Have you installed new drivers, or do you need to? The troubleshooting steps here might help. iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install

Missing Titles when burn CD

I am missing the titles and artists when burning a cd from Itunes. I have selected Include CD Text but it is still not coming over.
I am needing to get this CD burned tonight if anyone could help me out, I would appreciate it.

I bought my first ipod in 04 and some songs i imported into itunes were just listed as track01, track 02. I just bought the new ipod video 30gb and those track01, and track02 songs did not download into my new ipod. I have about 40 songs listed just as track01,track02,track03,track04. Does anybody know what I can do?

Why is it that it would take a very long time [if ever] to change or adjust the tempo of a loop in the audio track when i set it to adjust regions to locators? Until now the spinning wheel of death is still very much spinning. thanks for any help.
Is there another way to adjust tempo of loops the faster way, any other technique?

No clue why the final processes have suddenly started to take so long. Two things I'd try: a) capture from an older tape to see if some problem with the new tape is at fault. And b) check the health of your RAM and the hard drive.
The red frame sounds a bit like a glitch we used to have in OnLocation (actually in its predecessor HDV Rack) which was caused by a partial GOP. But that was a product of HDV Rack recording from the live video stream. It turned out that HDV cameras intentionally interrupt the data stream for an instant upon starting to record--specifically to avoid recording a partial GOP to tape. So my gut says that the tape has partial GOPs at the points where you stopped/started recording.

Is there a way to Change the Writing Speed When Burning CD-R's?

Is there a way to change the writing speed when burning CD-R's?
I don't see any options in Disk Utility.
Rob
P.S. Since I am burning coasters lately with the Pioneer DVR-111D, I though that I might solve the problem by using a lower write speed.

I dn't believe so with Disk Utility although you can with Roxio Toast Titanium. I would try another media brand, like Verbatim, as a first step and see if the coaster problem goes away.
