Verifying audio read quality
Audio data from CDs is read digitally for the purpose of saving audio tracks to
hard disk and copying CDs.
Yes, you did read that correctly - digitally. All CD/DVD-ROM drives can play
audio CDs in analogue format (i.e. through head sets or sound card) but not all
can read audio data digitally and even then only a few of these drives produce
good quality audio reading. So: the digital extraction of audio data is essentially
different from simply playing an audio CD.
In practice the quality of the digitally read audio data is never going to be
satisfactory. For example sometimes there are "jumps" in the audio data which
are noticeable as unpleasant clicking noises when playing a saved audio file or
listening to a copy CD. The amount of such defects in the audio data is heavily
dependent on the type and make of the CD/DVD-ROM drive.
Before extracting audio data or copying CDs each owner of a CD ROM should
be aware of how good the audio read quality of his own CD/DVD-ROM drive is.
Armed with this knowledge unusable CD copies can be avoided by selecting
better copy options. To diagnose your CD-ROM proceed as follows:
1. First of all please check to see whether your CD/DVD-ROM drive is already
supported by Nero. Look up whether the command Autodetect CD ROM is
available on the Extras menu. If so run through the CD/DVD-ROM
autodetect first of all (see Section 'Autodetection of CD/DVD-ROM drives'). If
the command is highlighted in gray and therefore cannot be activated the
installed CD/DVD-ROM drive has been detected.
2. Now insert the Nero CD into the CD/DVD-ROM drive. If this starts the
installation of Nero cancel this as Nero has already been installed.
3. Choose the command Save Track from the Recorder menu and select your
CD/DVD-ROM drive as the source drive. Select the second track (and/or the
first audio track) and save as a wave file on your hard disk.
4. Now from the File menu find the New command for a new audio compilation
and then drag the wave file extracted in Stage 3 into the audio compilation.
5. Double click on the track of the audio compilation corresponding to the wave
file.
6. Click on the tab Indices, Limits, Split. You will see a colored rectangle.
