CD burning w/ VV - Another Question

Howdy all.

Last night I did some CD burning in VV3 and encountered something that's never happened before. I've been working a lot in Cubase recently as I've been busy with several MIDI-intensive projects. However, I still prefer doing my final CD mastering in Vegas, so last night I brought over 8 songs that I'd rendered in Cubase to burn disk-at-once to CD in Vegas.

The songs existed as 24 bit/48 KHz, stereo interleaved wavs, and I used matching Project settings in Vegas. I had no problems importing the media to Vegas, and overall the CD burned fine, but for some reason there were 8 empty tracks (total 16) on the tail-end of CD when it was finished. I'm fairly sure Vegas Redbook burning doesn't close out audio CDs by using empty tracks, nor has this ever happened to me before. Any idea what I may have done to make this happen?

Thanks

I assume you had no duplicate track markers inadvertented entered/copied on the top of the timeline ?

I'm quite certain I didn't, but the possibility is there as I'd had to reconfigure all the audio settings in Vegas to work with some new I/O hardware, and accordingly there had been a few abortive attempts at setting up the session (it had been a while since I used Vegas, and I forgot that I'd not configured it for my latest gear). That said, I'm pretty sure I'd started with a clean project when I completed the burn.

Again - I'll check.

Thanks for the reply...

I checked - everything in the project looks normal - no overlapping events, all track markers in the right places, no track markers after the last track.

hmmm...

I also noticed that I'd forgotten to put the requisite SF dither plug on the master bus before I burned the tracks, but I doubt that had anything to do with this...?
