I use media monkey to make CDs and when I accidentally have a bounce muted and export it, I get a full track of silence on the CD.

Media Monkey is what I use for my large music collection - it's great!  I've actually never tried to burn a CD with it, I guess I'll have to try that.  It certainly puts iTunes to shame. 

 
Time for all of you to head over to Beyond My DAW!

It should be silent...

My theory is that you have the "normalize" option checked in your CD burning software. Double check your settings & turn off normalize...

And reward yourself with a pulled pork sammich.

And by NOT watching that Yoko Ono clip posted elsewhere on the forum....

Yep, I've had a gold - unlimited account for a decade or so. I really like Media Monkey. It's useful for adding CD Text as well so the song names show up in car CD players etc.
 
I will say that I have not been impressed by the MP3s produced by MediaMonkey. I use Lame to make mp3s.
 
I should add it's probably  been more than 5 years since I've considered using Media Monkey's MP3 creating tool.

StudioCat > I use Windows 10 and Sonar Platinum. I have a touch screen.
I make some videos. This one shows how to do a physical loopback on the RME UCX to get many more equalizer nodes.

I've solved it for you 'Ol Pal
 
Just copy the soundtrack to this...
 

 
 
Simples



Or find a track that has x number of seconds in silence and duplicate them and blend them?

Who knew that NOT making music could be so hard??? 



It's part of trying to keep you compliant to all those social rules! You can't go around doing your own thing or ideas!

Re: Burning long lengths of silence to CD.... 2014/07/13 15:26:42 (permalink)
Don't know why I did this, when I'm late on so many other things...  
 
I created a song in X3e that had 5 long low midi notes randomly throughout a 62 minute span (events at ~8, 10, 29, 44 & 59 minutes).  Two tracks of Dimension Pro - sitar strum & bazouki.  
Froze the tracks (nice long tails; 'remove silence' selected).
Selected both tracks for a 62-minute span, & exported using CD settings to a .wav.   (Pure digital silence between the notes...)
Used SONAR's Burn Audio CD; added my newly created .wav as a track.
 
It came out perfectly.  It's oddly pleasant, actually, at any volume...
 
My theory is that your other issues were caused by a 'normalize' setting set somewhere on your other CD burning software.  That would definitely be noisy.  
 
I've never heard the red book spec had a 'no long silence' rule; a couple searches & that never came up.  I'm pretty certain your CD burner should burn whatever you give it, even 74-minutes of digital zeroes...

That's what I thought too. But CD architect throws up error dialogs stating otherwise. Go figure.

Mr 'Ol Pal, I think you're going to have to admit defeat on this one.
 
But instead of making a CD, maybe you could try and wing it 'live', as it were....
 
First off, pop out and purchase a job lot of bells and forests. Then proceed to arrange said items in and around your homestead. Once the Ursa femalis feels up for a bit of ambience, set about stirring the wildlife into action and randomly start tolling on a few of them bells. Once the correct amount of peace and relaxitude has been administered, simply shut the fauna up by pretending to be a prowling tigress on heat, and desist your occasional chiming.
 
Job done.
 
Brownie points in the bank, no hassle feckin' about with compact discs that don't want to be burnt, and all the bear sh1t you can trade down at the local independent wholefood boutique for lashings of fresh honey, pork scratchings and owl polish.
 
Everyone's a winner, including yours truly who will undoubtedly be lavished with a 'Best Answer' thang for this helpful, thoughtful, incisive, supportive, productive, beneficial and helpful post.

Were you able to get past the issue?
 
I believe the very first "gap" (before the first track) must be 2 seconds.  There are no restrictions on gaps between tracks (other than any imposed by your software).   Just use the X3 CD burner, it got the job done.

Welp, Straummy ol pal, as I write this from the relative comfort of my living room recliner...while the rest of the family is upstairs snoring away, snug in their beds...your suggestions didn't go exactly as planned. I'm pretty sure it was the prowling Tigress in heat part where things started breaking down. In any case, I'll keep you posted as to when or if I'm allowed to sleep in my own bed again and when or if I find a solution to this pissant problem. Until then, and as per usual, I am forever in your debt for your wise advice.

Welp...it was
 
Burner speed.
 
After trying several solutions (NO...it was not "normalize"), and just for s***ts and giggles I lowered the write speed on the drive.  Boom!  Jesss Perfect!
 
Go figure.

I don't care for crabs.




But they're easy to get rid of!  All you have to do is shave half of your body, then light the other half on fire.  When the crabs run to the side that's not on fire you simply stab them with a fork.
