Audio CDs wont play
Recently my Vegas audio CDs won’t play. Vegas gives the message that the burn is complete but the CDs won’t play all the way through…they start fine then hang after two or three tracks.
I am in the middle of a large project of remastering audio from a variety of analogue sources. I build the timeline and add tracks in Vegas…then Burn CD from Tools.. I started the project in mid-December and have about 20 CDs in this project. The earlier ones work fine. The ones I did in the past two days won’t play.
Nothing changed on the computer…and I’m still using the same spindle of blank CD’s. Any ideas on what to check?

Are you allowing 2 sconds between each track?

Actually…no…I’ve never done that before. I always just put in the markers and they would play fine. I saw the instruction about adding the two secondswhen I began troubleshooting this problem. So I went back and added two seconds after each track marker but that didn’t seem to make any difference.
I also thought it could be a buffer underrun issue…these audio files are on a USB drive. I know a USB drive isn’t real fast but we’re not dealing with video…it ought to move enough data for an audio CD. So I moved the data to the c drive and burned from there. Two discs turned out okay…but the next one wouldn’t play.
No error messages, mind you…Vegas says the discs were completed successfully. But it wouldn’t play.
I’ve got about five or six more hours of audio to get off of this drive.

At this point,I would suspect the media.

I just finished a spindle of 100 (Verbatim CD-R). I’ll crack open a new box tomorrow and try again.
Maybe they hid all the bad discs at the bottom of the spool. :-/

Media tested out okay…I put in a new burner…all seems well now.
