Best burning software

[teknonotice]

I dont use many samples but recently grabbed a few to load into my akai3000xl. On doing so however I encounter wonderful issues with technology.

Samples are high quality wav format - windows media burner doesnt recognise most, and Nero cant burn a track less than 2 seconds.

any ideas what software I need?

We dont use computers in our studio and therefore the CD needs to play in a standalone cd burner to then record into the akai.. I have burnt the samples as a data disc and audio and neither will work using windows or nero..

I must be missing a horse race

CDex : http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/

Burrrn : http://www.burrrn.net/?page_id=4

Alternatively, most sample editors will burn to CD. Try Audacity : http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

cheers guys, will check all links out. nice one. Have Audacity just seems like along process putting 100 tiny wavs into it

[TechMouse]

Fair.

Burrrn is probably the easiest one I've ever used.

Just drag and drop what you want and click Burrrn.

Past that, CDRTFE is the swiss army knife of CD burning tools. It's a front end to the command line cdrecord utility.

thanks tech mouse

Burn the Akai, get something that processes audio with the technology of the 21st century.
An akai is a computer, just a crap one with a terrible interface.

you don't use computers in your studio ?

are you ****ing mad ?

[DarkYoung]

are you ****ing mad ?

quite:lol:

[Barely Human]

are you ****ing mad ?

Agree. Why?

[teknonotice]

I am yes clinically insane..

but

simply because I prefer, and own, alot of hardware, DAW's etc etc. one day I will integrate it but at present seems to be doing just fine without a PC.

I`m a vegetarian, can I burn you at the parsnip?

[teknonotice]

Im not such a fan of parsnip mate...can we do vegie sausages?

ps - check out No admittance teknonotice digital on Chemical records or track it down...no computer present in any of the production process' or mastering of this track..

Are you trying to imply that hardware is in some way better?

I might point out that an Akai sampler is in fact a primitive computer.
Also I see you have a TC Electronic finalizer, this also is a computer. Yes it is in a different shaped box, but it is in fact run by microprocessor, with a less intuitive and more restrictive interface than an average "computer".
I am assuming you use a sequencer to make your music. Wether it is a standalone, or a computer, both will be based on microprocessors and in fact, are computers. Unless you use some CV based all analog sequencing.

I never understand these kind of comments.
A musician will look at all tools and say "how can I use this to my advantage", regardless of it`s origins.

I don`t advocate the use of one type of creative tool over another, but when approaching creative arts, to close your mind to any tool that could provide you with a greater variety of techniques and forms, is creatively leading yourself down an ever narrowing alley, and nothing to be proud of.

Thing is that the s3000 might only be a bunch of micro processors, but it sure sounds good. If you want to get wav samples into it, i just use the midi dump function, takes a while but it works and its cheap and i guess you still need a PC.

[The_Laughing_Man]

Yeah the 3000 is ok, filter is a bit brittle, but it`s a solid machine, hate the file ordering system though.

but you just said..

Do you post on squatjuice mate? keep on topic mate and stop being so pedantic. Define hardware, computers, and processors, as you will.

Yawn !!

Thanks for the software tips guys!!

in the end, it's the product, not the process, that matters. if you are happy with what you produce, and think you have found the best way for you to get there, that's all that matters.

[The_Laughing_Man]

Indeed, I just find statements such as "we don`t use computers" or "we don`t use electricity" , ones that whilst attempting to be elitist in some way, are generally not very well thought through.
