    "Detecting Gaps / Indexes" - what exactly is it? And can the box be moved?

    Hi again

    The Detecting Gaps / Detecting Indexes box that comes up when you first put in a CD is presumably a new-ish feature. It wasn't there in R14.4...

    Anyhow, is it possible to hide or move or do anything with this notification box? I have two screens on my PC. I use DBPA on the left hand screen, but the Detecting Gaps / Indexes box comes up on the right hand screen. On some discs it take quite a while and ends up getting in the way of the other stuff I'm doing whilst I wait for the CD to finish "loading". If it was over on the left screen it would be a lot better for my set up.

    Also, what exactly is the box doing? Just for interests sake, I just popped a CD in and pressed cancel as soon as the detection box came up, and the CD still loaded fine. What would have happened if I went ahead and done the rip? Poor/non-existent indexing and gap info I presume???

    Cheers

    odd. I have 16.4 version (windows). I've never seen a popup related to indexing/gap detection.

    If I recall (and I am going back a long way now), isn't that window related to EAC?

    Yes, EAC has this option. Maybe Max has EAC installed too, and inserting a CD brings up the EAC option. (Max, you should at least set EAC settings to not automatically open when a CD inserted. Or even uninstall...no need for EAC if you have dbpa.)

    Hi

    Thanks for the replies. I don't have and never have had EAC installed so it is nothing to do with that...

    How strange! I'm pretty certain it is DBPA doing it. When I load the disc, nothing happens in the main DBPA window until the pop is done going through the tracks. As soon as it finishes, the disc details and metadata appear.

    I've got to pop out now but when I get back I'll see if I can capture it with a screenshot.

    Cheers

    OK, so here are the screenshots. I'd be mighty surprised if they were not to do with DBPA

    Perhaps someone else can say whether they have/haven't seen this before? And maybe Spoon can shed some light on the matter?

    Cheers

    When you detect the gaps, they can be displayed, or removed with certain DSP effects.
