| knome_local | ScottL: you online? | 00:06 |

| astraljava | len: I dunno, is gcdmaster superior to others, that it becomes worth the effort? | 01:00 |
| ScottL | knome, i'm here now | 03:22 |
| ScottL | holstein, len, i'm sorry i haven't been around much, work has been busy and i've been fighting illness but hopefully i'm finally over it | 03:23 |
| ScottL | len, we had looked at maybe falktx making the gcdmaster switch to gtk3 or similar, maybe we should poke him again about that | 03:24 |
| len | astraljava: gcdmaster seems to be the _only_ program that does what it does. | 03:30 |
| len | It allows editing a disk at once toc (ok any text editor does) | 03:31 |
| len | it allows setting audio file start and end points in the toc file by visually looking at the waveform in question. | 03:32 |
| len | it allows listening to the edit before burning. | 03:32 |
| len | it allows setting track marks anywhere including the middle of an audio file. | 03:35 |
| len | It is not the burning of the CD that is unique, that part is trivial and could be done on one line on the command line. | 03:36 |
| len | the part that is the most useful is the toc file editing. There is no other linux app that does this That I could find... not having too much luck with windoze either. | 03:37 |
| len | Basically, ardour without gcdmaster makes professional cd mastering impossible. It means one may as well just use audacity and make a demo... | 03:38 |
| len | When using two audio files to make a cd where there will be a zero gap between them, the point where they join should be at a zero crossing, and of course if the first one ends on rising to zero, the second should be rising from zero... | 03:42 |
| len | in any case even going to silence it should start or end on zero crossing to avoid clicks or pops. | 03:42 |
| len | GcdMaster allows one to see the waveform and select by sample where the "edit" point is. | 03:43 |
| len | When making a "live" cd it is advantageous to be able to cull some of the noise and applause between songs while making it sound continuous. GCDMaster allows this to be done non-destructively in a quick and efficient manner. | 03:46 |
| len | OK, end rant. | 03:47 |
| len | Oh... one more... yes I have used it this way. | 03:48 |
| astraljava | len: Fair enough. I could take a stab at it, I guess. | 07:43 |
