Hi all

I'm new to this group and was hoping to get some sound advice from here.

I've been with an amatuer theatre for the last few years providing
bespoke sfx for their productions. I've been using minidisc format for
most of the time untill recentley I invested in a dual cd player
http://www.numark.com/cdn35

The most annoying thing I found was;

1...How to remove the silence bit and still have the unit autopause.
(it's annoying when you have some cues pretty close together, but
it adds 2 to 5 secs before next track can play) 2...How to stop some
tracks playing a millisecond of the neaxt track just before autopausing.

I use mixcraft to edit and produce my sfx, which adds approx 3 sec
silence to the end of the saved file, and CD burning software adds
approx 2 sec silence to the beggining of a track.

Is there a workaround, or can these points be resolved with CD media?


ps I know dual mp3 players and HDD tech would do the job, but I need to
get the most using CD media with this unit.

Personally, I'd stick with MiniDisc. Or move on to a computer based play
in system. CD sucks for this sort of thing. Although there are some
expensive pro versions that buffer things to give near instant response.
Maybe even available now at the disco end of the market.
