Experienced Cd Djs

What is the best software to burn your wav files and mp3s to a cd disk with. I have been using Roxio cd creater and just recently noticed some very weird digital noises in some of my tracks. Thats the best way to descibe the sound, like a digital whoosh sound. Anyway, what do you think the problem is? Is it in my burning software or the track itself? By the way, I did not steal any of the music I own. It is all payed for from legit download sites like trackitdown.com, etc.....

Thanks for any help,

Mike

I use Nero and have never noticed any noises. Do other CDs have noise? (just like a random mixed CD that you burn)? or is it only the tracks you use on your CDJs? maybe they are the problem?

Nero is good, my CDJ would even read the track names from the CD, which is nice. I tried iTunes and it gave me no problems... could it be your media???

What do you mean by media? I know its not the cd decks.

Basically he's politely asking if you're using shitty blank CD's to burn on...

No problem... never skimp on blank CD's, some night at a show you'll be real grateful...

Cheers,

I know this probably isn't the thread for it, but I have to say that I am thoroughly convinced that anyone who uses Traktor has sold their soul to the devil...

Traktor = The "God Mode" cheat for DJ's...

As a Traktor user who has got people moving at parties, I must point out that your comment is uncalled for, incorrect, and off-topic.

Sold my soul to the devil? No more so than those who use cameras instead of paint brushes, or electric guitars instead of violins.

It's about the music.

That is all.

That's all fine and well, but Traktor is the DJ, not you, you're just a human jukebox who may know a little about phrasing...

Sorry if that sounds harsh, but Traktor basically allows for a perfect mix every time, and add to that, it's not very fun to watch for a crowd either, so unless you ARE indeed using something other than just a computer and Traktor I hope you're good at dancing around and putting on a show while clicking a mouse...

EDIT: And on top of that Photography is a completely different art than painting, and comparing an electric guitar to a violin? You've got to be kidding me man! If you're saying you can just pick up a guitar and jam out Jimi Hendrix "Machine Gun" right away you're off your rocker M8. Traktor allows for the perfect mix almost immediately out of the box...
