I just submitted my own tech support ticket and now I guess I just sit back and wait for the powers that be at Roxio to tell me that they are aware of this problem and in the meantime: upgrade to 8.03. After years and years of satisfaction with Roxio, I am nothing short of shocked to see this forum left so unattended and unresolved. I upgrade to 10.4.11, go to burn a CD of AIFFs in Toast 8.0 (with quicktime 7.4.1), hear disturbing crunchy noises during the playback of some of the AIFFs, and then immediately discover this 4 page rabbit hole of unanswered problems. See: I own Logic but i've never tried it - tomorrow that changes.Īny other thoughts or ideas, I'll post again. A friend of mine told me this works the same way that Toast used to work. There is a program from Apple that is part of Logic Studio called WaveBurner. I posted this thread on the Apple support site: with no luck.

I would like to contact Apple but I'm not sure how to go about doing it. I have not heard another word form Roxio since their tech response to me from about a week ago telling me that they were aware of the problem, they were working on it, and would let me know when they had come up with a solution. I had so much hope that maybe, just maybe the companies and the powers-that-be discussed the problem and had decided to put their collective heads together to come up with a fix. Oh man.I was so looking forward to giving this a go tomorrow.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?īy the way, I'm running a Mac dual G5, system OS X 10.4.11, with plenty of memory. I just turned it off and will try opening my original files tomorrow and attempting to load them in with dither off. The only thing I just noticed is that there is an option in Toast to 'dither' the track. I burnt a CD thinking that maybe the noise was only occurring during playback - no such luck - it gets burnt to the CD. aiff stereo de-interleaved file, I converted it into a stereo interleaved file, but no change. I tried it one last time in Toast and same thing. I performed a test by opening the file with Quicktime - they are perfect. Once again I put it into a playlist in Toast 8,03 and once again, I got the high end noise. I double-checked to make sure that it sounded pristine - which it does. I though it was something I did so I went back in and re-mixed the material. I played it back and noticed this high end sizzle that I did not notice while mixing. I finished mixing four new tracks and was doing a test pressing. This is original material so I cannot share it with the general public but this is what happens. It is adding a high end noise to my audio tracks. While WB runs at 32bit float, some plug-ins can run at a higher internal resolution inside WB such as Ozone which runs at 64bit float.I just upgraded to Toast 8 and have noticed a serious audio problem. It works quite well but it would be nice to have other options. This way it's only limiting on the overlapping regions where it exceeds 0.0dbfs. The only way I've been able to overcome this problem effectively is to use Ozone's limiter as a region plug-in on both overlapping audio files & set the limiter's threshold to 0 & the output to say -0.3. At the moment we only have fades or the whole track's overall volume, which doesn't help in this situation. What I'd like to see Apple do is incorporate volume automation handles so you can at least lower the 2 overlapping sections so they don't clip. This is where the Sonic products would be better suited for this type of master.

Doing crossfades when one or both audio files are close to 0.0dbfs is a real problem in WB.

Don't know exactly, but I've donw numerous crossfades with full pop material starting during a fade out with no audible clipping, however the meters were redlighting : - ) I'm pretty sure it's 32 bit float, anyone else?Hey Jerry, be very careful with 'red lighting' in WB, even though it's not audibly clipping during playback in the application (because of the 32bit float resolution), if you burn the CD & play it back you will get nasty crackling distortion at the points the clipping occurred.
