What do you use to burn REAPER bin/cue in Linux?
Just wondering what other people use (with an emphasis on GUI apps). In the past I have exclusively used CLI and specifically cdrdao with the --swap option given that it expects a BIN file to be big endian whereas REAPER generates a little-endian BIN. I've forgotten this a couple of times and ended up with static noise coasters
Anyhow, just wondering if something like K3B is clever enough to figure out the big/little endian thing before I waste a blank CD-R (only a handful left on my spindle). Despite it now being 2022, I have a good number of clients that still like pay for a couple of discs so they can easily play on their aging but very expensive hi-fi systems. As far as I can tell, xfburn is a no-go... |

Problem with Brasero, AFAIK, is that it can only do TAO and not DAO (if you go the individual track files route).

DAO is for when you absolutely don't want any silence between tracks such as on live albums where the background noise continues through the whole disc, or where two or more songs/movements might naturally follow on without gap/pause.

I suppose I'll just stick with the cdrdao cli route and maybe create an alias so I never forget the --swap option
The only other slightly more cumbersome way I can think of is creating a DDP in REAPER and then using ddpinfo -w (http://ddp.andreasruge.de/) to generate a wav/cue combo that cdrdao can handle with no other options required. Now that REAPER has r8brain free as the samplerate converter it's great to generate everything in the box. |

see first post.
I see that you can still get the latest version of Nero for Linux, but I don't know if it will work today, I haven't had a DVD drive in X years. The support allegedly ended sometime around 2010 http://www.pcds.fi/downloads/applica...ero.linux.html |

You can render a long WAV and then create a CUE with latest scripts from MPL but for me it was always a workaround because there was no built-in SoX or r8brain so I did all my distribution formats outside of REAPER from a hi-res WAV/CUE master. |

I thought it can be that, but was not really sure it can make compatibility problems these days. |

CD? Who wants a CD???
I know this is pretty much solved, but as bad-luck has it, a client just asked for a favor - take an old bootleg audio cassette from 1997 and burn it to a CD!
I cleaned it up in Reaper and exported a single WAV. Opened the WAV in Audacity and added the track markers, then exported individual WAVs based on track markers. https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/...te_tracks.html Followed the directions on the page linked below to create a Table of Contents and then burn a DAO with cdrdao https://mrbluecoat.blogspot.com/2013...-audio-cd.html A lot of steps, but it worked perfectly.

Thanks for adding to the conversation! Yeah cdrdao is fab and definitely works perfectly with a bin/cue from REAPER as long as you remember to add the swap flag

Just re-visiting the thread this morning as I'm making a very quick CD for someone to audition some choral tracks. Rather than use BIN+CUE export, I created a WAV+CUE using the method I outline in one of my latest videos: https://youtu.be/8sVFSctJqXw. Obviously it doesn't need to be "hi-res" and, instead, select 44.1/16-bit wave (with dither as required...my next video topic!).
To recap, the other option is basically to render "Audio CD Image (CUE/BIN format)" and then use Nero or cdrdao (with the --swap flag). I'm sad there isn't an open source cdrdao GUI. Maybe this could be my first C or C++ project!

And, for better or for worse, I just created my first AUR:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nerolinux4 Luckily there's a nerolinux3 AUR in existence so modifying was relatively painless (if it actually works). Of course, I realized that I forgot to reset pkgrel= to 1 but never mind that

Isn't big and little endian just reversed code? Is there a code converter to just flip the numbers? just wondering... nice thread.

I return to the idea that BIN is a weird format for CD audio. Why did the devs feel the need to change the endian in the first place when WAV would have been a perfectly good companion to CUE (as it is in Ardour)? The bonus also that the WAV+CUE could be used in countless apps to create individual lossy deliverables.

In the old Saturn console people use to burn discs of House of the Dead etc. maybe maybe you can get an idea from this old thread - sometimes the beginning tech/innovation has a simpler answer/path? https://www.racketboy.com/retro/burn...aturn-games-on
