I wanted to talk about a problem I ran into. Its about starting codes you set for CD tracks.
A lot of years you didn't need to care how close you set a marker to the start of the track. CD players could play each selected track without cutting the beginning off.
But then DVD players, car radios, and mp3 players came and people listen a lot on other devices than dedicated CD players.
So when you set a start code too close to the track often the beginning is cut off.
Even VLC player needs a few ms gap before the actual signal starts. (You can also hear this when you wanna play back a tightly cut snare sample wav or something)
So what I want to know.
Is there any new "rule" of how large should be the gap between starting codes and actual audio to be safe on all devices out there?
Did Bob Katz talk about this yet?
Would be great to get some input on this topic
