Hi.

Let's say I got a 48 minutes .wav file containing one composition which has multiple different parts.

In Steinbergs WaveLab I can set song pointers and then burning the complete .wav to CD.
No need to split the .wav file first or to save splitted parts of the .wav file.
Putting this CD into a CD player it will show then a list of multiple songs which can be directly selected to play.
No noises, no hangs on song changes.

Audacity seems not to be able to burn any data to CD.
So, I tried to split the 48 minutes .wav file into multiple parts using Audacity.
But the CD then gives some short crackled noise when the current song changes to the next one.
Or the song seems to hang for about some 1/1000 seconds.
Almost no matter where I did split the .wav file.

Is there any Linux Audio Editor that can do what WaveLab can do?
Is there any other option to use to achieve my goal?

Thanks.

wavbreaker?

I have used Gnome Wave Cleaner with good effect. It self-determines where the breaks are, and if these are not right, you can edit where they should be. It is called gwc in the PPM, and although it is labelled as a de-noiser, it makes for a good wave breaker.

Best to run the package under a pulse audio pup such as dpupbuster, as alsa has difficulty with the playback audio if that is required. Otherwise, it works fine in alsa-based audio puppies.

Thanks for the tips.
I have both of them installed, but only used GWC so far.
Used it to clean up some LP records recorded into the Computer.

Will report results.

Ok.

I tried to use Wavebreaker but no success at all.
It created a TOC file:

// Generated with wavbreaker

CD_DA

// track 00

FILE "20220224QR0358SymSyn6All.wav" 0:00:00 4:51:16

But PBurn failed to burn from that TOC file.
Tried to use the PBurn option Burn from TOC.
I had the TOC file and the .wav file at the same location and choosed the TOC file to burn from it.
But it returned an error:

Unable to open ' '.

Any hints, of what I'm doing wrong?
Never before I tried to burn an audio CD from a TOC file...

Here's the LOG from PBurn.

Hi there
Have you tried Ardour? I have not tried this but there is a row in the editor for "CD track markers"
worth a shot.

I have tried Ardour.
I'm able to set the CD track markers, but can't find any option to burn to CD after setting all track markers.
After exporting the .wav file and reloading it into Ardour, all CD track markers are gone.
I'm lost.

Ok, I found an option to export the .wav file and in addition to that to save to a TOC plus a CUE file.
Saved to TOC and CUE and tried both in PBurn.
The content of the TOC file is different to the TOC file from wavebreaker.

However, PBurn failed to burn. No matter if TOC or CUE is tried.

The error message seems to complain that cdrecord can't access a file from CD.
At least the YesNo select GUI to burn from TOC mentions /dev/cdrom like this: FileToBurnHereWithoutPath (/dev/cdrom).

Has anyone ever successfully burned an Audio CD from a TOC file using PBurn?

I would like to change the question...

Has anyone ever successfully burned an Audio CD from a TOC file using cdrecord?

If so, we can easily change the burn-command. pBurn supports both cdrecord and cdrdao for toc burning according to the code in func_toc_cue. This is very old code which I don't remember at all. pBurn code is maintained inside WoofCE...

Hi.

Meanwhile I solved my problem.
viewtopic.php?t=5763
After installing cdrdao everything went fine so far.
The cdrecord binary is installed in my OS, but PBurn failed completely - better saying cdrecord failed?
