Default generating CUE file with WAVE (instead of BIN) audio?

Hi again,

Due to the problems I've incurred in the process of trying to add track indexing to contiguous live records (as documented in http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=37385), I've learned a bit more about CUE files and am wondering what the easiest way is to export/calculate a CUE file (based on the markers in REAPER) that I could use with a 44.1 kHz/16-bit WAVE file--instead of rendering the BIN file that typically goes along with the "CUE/BIN" option.

The reason for this is that I'd like to be able to burn/share the WAVE files anyway--and, as far as I can tell, the CUE format should work with WAVE files too, so all I'd need to do is change the corresponding filename to the .wav (the type to WAVE). I suppose I could render the BIN file too and just delete, but that seems like a waste of time if it can be avoided.

Am also wondering if ReaBurn may be the tool to use here. (Haven't had the opportunity to download it yet, though.)

Also, on a related note: Is there any reason to use the dithering or noise-shaping options, when rendering, if the source is a single stereo WAV file that was recorded at 44.1 kHz/16 bits?

Any guidance would be very much appreciated.

Thanks a lot and take care,


Alan

Havent tried it in a while though.


No need to dither is you dont procees the 16bit wav (including volume adjustment).


Ohhh....hang on. The file is missing from Stashbox. Ill have to take a look for it, or you could make your own exe if you dont mind using AHK.

ReaBurn is a fine tool.

There have been many requests for finishing the redbook stuff in Reaper but so far its pretty useless for production.
Hopefully Justin and co will get around to it sooon.

I just create one long .wav file in Reaper, open it in CDWave and drop start markers, save the cue sheet and then open the cue sheet in Plextools XL to add ISRC's and CDText and then use Plextools XL to burn it and create a layout/error report.

I've already suggested in a previous thread that it would be nice for Reaper to export a cue/wav file combination or even just embed the track markers in the .wav file.

Cheers

James.

Ooops - I just looked at the render dialog and looks like it can already do this although Plextools doesn't seem to like the resultant file.

Cheers

Default thanks!

Hi again,

Thanks a lot for all the helpful replies--and also for re-posting ReaBurn too. Will definitely give this a shot in the near future.

In the interim, I've pretty much mastered burning CDs by using ImgBurn (using the BIN files instead of WAVE) and have experienced no further issues with the results

Cheers,


Alan
