CD Burning Preferences
** Note - the CD Burning Preferences are not available in Mixcraft LE (Light Edition).
Burning Engine
Choose between Primo, Goldenhawk or IMAPI.
Primo is the default and recommended CD burning engine. It will burn audio CDs without gaps between tracks, as
well as CD-Text.
If supported, our alternate CD burning engine called Goldenhawk will be able to burn audio CDs without any gaps
between CD tracks, as well.
IMAPI is Windows default way to burn audio CDs. The draw back is that if you are burning more than one track, it
inserts a two second gap between tracks and it automatically converts to wav before burning.
