Static when burning audio CD

[Patth9]

I'm having a problem burning a CD. The music CD burns with static noises plus the music, I'm using Toast.

I've used two different burners, two different kHz 48000 and 44.100

Song(s) sound fine when played on the Mac via the speakers. I think the static may be coming from Toast 7 Titanium because when I use the play option on the Toast screen, I can hear the static.

I tried to burn using the Mac burner, but can't stop Toast from popping up. I don't see the blank CD on the desktop so I can't drag the song onto the disk to burn using the Mac burning program.

I can see an audio CD on the desktop, but not the empty CD.

The blank CDs don't show up when I'm using Toast, but I am able to drag the file and burn it, however, it is filled with music and static.

I'm really stumped. I have burned many CD and DVDs in the past, have NO idea what going on now.

I solved my CD burning problem. I changed the setting from 48kHz 32 bits to 44kHz 16bits and no more static.

Yes, the CD-Audio standard requires 44.1 kHz sampling and 16-bit resolution. Been that way since 1983.

Well, Chip, I added this information to my stickies, perhaps next time I forget the CD burning combination, the sticky will prime my memory. Thanks for your reply.

I'm a little confused how you pulled off 48kHz. I would have thought that the burning software would automatically convert to 44.1 or display a warning/error message. Maybe this is a bug to report.

The burning software will successfully burn at 48kHz (it's doing what you told it), but any player will have real difficulties in playing it.

Ha, Spamjim, that would have made my life way easier. I'm sure I knew that 48mHz was incorrect once upon a time, alas, perhaps my Toast Titanium 7 didn't remember either.
