Multisession - Long dead time

[Wallymeister]

bdayton,

I'm going to try to help you here with what I have done using microstudio.

I can do this using another program but it is all so involved and really just want to use microstudio for everything, so.........

When Microstudio reads the tracks, note the last track length.
e.g. Soundchoice will show 16 tracks. Track 16 is data track. So write down the length of track 15. It'll be high something like 5 or 6 min and some seconds. We'll say 6:16 sec.

Now, play and time the track from the time you press play till the song is over. Let's say you time it at 3:40. Add 10 sec. to that.
(Some manufacturers show a track length at the beginning of the song, SC does.........you can use this time and adding 10 seconds to that will work)

So you have 3:50
Now divide 350 by 616 (whole numbers) this example will give you .568 which is 57%.

Now when Microstudio is extracting track 15, when the progress bar reaches 57% (I wouldn't go sooner but immediately on or after) eject the disc. You can slow down your read speed when doing this track so to more precisely eject at the right time. I think I used 8x read speed.

This will get you closer to the actual length of the track. At least it won't be a crazy long dead space at end.

Hope this helps, it worked for me. You can even experiment with it by extracting just that track several times till you get one acceptable to you.
Use the play tab to play the track to make sure you got it all and how much dead space you have.

Hope this helps
