Ok, so graciously I have been sent by a member a copy (and it should be arriving this week!) of a CDR of the Toshiba Abbey Road. Real cool right? It is, but I know that the gracious member doesn't have the proper configurations on their burner sofware to deal with the pre-emphasis set on the copy so it is gonna be tinny as hell. I would like to take this copy and immediatly burn it properly with the proper curves restored etc... I have searched all the appropriate threads but I am still confused. I am running EAC. Is that all I need? Is it a matter of turning the flags on? What to do...
Use EAC. On the cue sheet make sure you have a line that says De-Emphasis on for each song. That's it. There may be a global setting that works too but I don't know how to do it that way. There's a thread on the Forum that describes the process. If I can find it I'll post the URL.
Here you go: http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10981&perpage=20&pagenumber=4 The abbreviated process was described by Ocdman thus: To set the pre-emphasis bit in Exact Audio Copy you need to manually edit the CUE sheet using the editor in EAC. Here's an example. Pre-emphasis off (default): FILE "C:\Track01.wav" WAVE TRACK 01 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "C:\Track02.wav" WAVE TRACK 02 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 Pre-emphasis on: FILE "C:\Track01.wav" WAVE TRACK 01 AUDIO FLAGS PRE INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "C:\Track02.wav" WAVE TRACK 02 AUDIO FLAGS PRE INDEX 01 00:00:00
