hello,

Is it possible that in f2k 0.8.3 special > "foo_burninate.dll" and nero 5.5.10.56 don't go together ?
I added the "foo_burninate.dll" (got it from homepage) after installing foobar, "write audio CD" was missing.
Now I get the message "cannot burn" (nero S/N expired). ONLY once S/N is "filled in", and in registry by doing so.

When I reinstall nero without the S/N, I get the message in foobar "can only write at lowest speed", which is ok with me.

So are there any conflicts ?

thanks for help

Look at this thread:

I think there is answer for your problem...

WILU,

not quite I'm afraid. I've read the 2 pages, maybe I got to read a link there, too.
Anyway, they said it might be a prob of nero, unfortunately there the postings ended.
Maybe also my English isn't good enough to catch up.

Will see what else I can find, did a lot of searching though.

Isn't it a problem with your copy of Nero and wrong serial number?

Hiya WILU,

I uninstalled f2k, will try to explain the reason as short as possible. The solution to write CD with nero 5.5.10.56 might work for other users, too:

1. SAVED + deleted nero S/N-key from registry. NO REBOOT after!
(in my case took "RegSeeker". ADD keys to registry again when you want to
use Nero. REBOOT!) --> Then you will get the message in foobar again "Cannot write CD" (initialize nero lib failed...").

2. f2k: > 18 Tracks (mp3s) > highlighted > ReplayGain > scan selection as album

3. CLIPPING DETECTED -> 18/18 = each file!
Someone told me that foobar changes the volume to 89%, which in this case is not enough! (can clearly see the clipping in nero wave editor graph, and therefore reduced the volume to ~60% peak ONCE WRITING CD WITH NERO!).

4. --> Foobar > "WriteAudioCD" (DOES WORK THIS WAY, since nero S/N del in reg!) "can only write at slowest speed" > took a CD-RW!

5. Once CD burned, put it in CD-Player (stereo-equipment). Played 1 time. 2nd time showed over 90min playtime! Could not play anymore (wasn't recognized by CD-player anymore!).
Note: my CD-Player can play all formats, also unfinished CD-R, CD-WR, MP3s, even if lots longer than 74min!!! [Marantz CD-7300].

Result:
After I seemed to have detected that foobar cannot reduce volume without avoiding clipping, and there is no way (to my poor knowledge) to set the volume to a certain level for each file seperately, PLUS the fact that there is NO GRAPH where I can see the frequency-range of the files, I decided to uninstall foobar, since there is no use for me to work with it that way!
Instead I handle all sorts of features (sound, volume, etc. [almost all kinds of - is like a studio]) in nero wave editor, ALTHOUGH THAT MEANS LOSS OF QUALITY! (MP3ProEncoderPlugin).

I deeply regret that Foobar has not got those features, since lossless coding!

If you have clipping ever after applying replaygain, there is an option in:
preferences -> playback -> replaygain -> "use peak info to scale down tracks that still clip after applying replaygain". Just enable it.
It is also a good idea to add advanced limiter to your dsp chain (on the end of dsp chain of course).

About playing a cd recorded in foobar - in my case all works great as it should, so maybe it is something wrong with your player...

And one more thing: try newest version of Nero. Your copy is rather old...

WILU,

I am not going to purchase Nero 6. One cannot update/grade to 6 with a 5er S/N, that's a fact.

Thanks for the settings. I will try it if I install foobar again (which I doubt, cause of the other missing features, I told You about).

I will think about it. First I have hardware-probs to solve.

Bye for now
