CD audio vs. my powerbook's output

So, I've discovered that the audio output from my computer
differs from the quality of the same files burned to CD.

Where do CD's cut out in higher end hz? 16,000 or
something?

I notice that a lot of my careful "presented high treble"
harmony / melody parts get fucked beyond belief when burned
to CD.

Anyone know anything about this? Makes my "live"
performances a little more valuable, though.

1st of all: cool avatar!

2nd of all: cool computer!

...now, CDs store sound at 16 bits @ 48khz (correct me if im
wrong here)

what is your laptop's sound card specs?
if your laptop does its sound thing at a higher resolution
(ie 24 bits @ 96khz although i doubt it unless its a
professional sound card) then that might explain it, but its
just a guess

try using different programs both to render the .wav file
and to burn it... maybe some programs have better conversion
algorithms (im assuming they use somehting w/ a name like
that lol) than others

all I know is that you should never "normalize" the final
wav when using modplug tracker or it'll be a quiet little
piece of crap (if you don't it'll be a piece of crap of
adequate volume)
