Just a very quick (but important) offset question

Hello there,
if reading the sector view in isobuster gave me offset +8
and my drive in accurate rip has offset +6:
A) What offset do I enter in the EAC when ripping?
B) What offset do I submit to the database?
Thanks in advance!

If you haven't subtracted anything yet:
A) +8 (combined read offset => drive read offset + disc write offset)
B) +2 ==> +8 - (+6) = +2 (disc write offset)

A) In EAC you enter the value from the sector view, which in this case is +8. This is called the combined read and write offset.
B) You submit just the write offset, which can be determined as follows: write offset = sector view - drive offset. In this case it's +8 - +6 = +2.
Edit: Screw it, Rocknroms beat me to it
