Customizing the Interface The WaveBurner interface is highly configurable, enabling you to adjust and arrange onscreen elements to meet your working preferences. All layout changes are saved with your project. Handling Windows You can hide or show various interface elements and windows with toolbar buttons, menu items, or keyboard shortcuts.
µ Choose Window > Close Lists as Separate Window, or click the standard Mac OS X Close Window button (in the separate lists window) to reattach the lists and Inspector area to the main window. The Wave View area and Mix lane, if open, are automatically resized. Handling Tabs and Lists WaveBurner allows individual tabs in the Inspector or list areas to be opened as independent windows. You can also rearrange the layout of these areas to suit your workflow and to maximize screen usage.
To change a list layout Do one of the following: µ µ Drag the column name field horizontally to alter the column layout. Horizontally drag the vertical lines between column name fields to change the width of columns. Customizing the Toolbar You are free to customize the toolbar to meet your needs. To customize the toolbar 1 Control-click (or right-click) the toolbar, then choose Customize Toolbar from the shortcut menu.
Getting Started with WaveBurner 2 You assemble CDs in a WaveBurner project. A project contains audio regions and CD tracks, that are created when you add audio files. The audio files appear as regions in the Wave View area. You can edit and arrange regions graphically on two Region lanes, or you can rearrange and edit them in the Regions list. Tracks are comprised of one or more regions. These are the actual CD tracks that listeners choose with the next and previous or numeric buttons on their CD player.
WaveBurner Project Workflow The following outlines the workflow of a typical WaveBurner project. Stage 1: Add Audio Files You start by creating a new project and adding audio files. When you add an audio file, it is imported as a region, which you can arrange and edit in the Wave View area and the Regions list. A corresponding track is automatically created for each new region. You can edit the track in the Wave View area and the CD Tracks list.
• Tracks: Tracks are the individual selections on a CD, which a listener chooses with the track number or forward and back buttons of their CD player. Tracks can include multiple regions, and one region can span multiple tracks. How Names Are Handled in WaveBurner There are four name types in WaveBurner: the audio filename, region name, track name, and CD-Text track title name.
µ To save a project with a different name Choose File > Save As (or press Shift-Command-S). Type in the new project name and click Save. µ To save a project as a DDP image Choose File > Save DDP Image. Type in the folder name and location for the DDP image and click Save. See Bouncing or Exporting Your Project for details.
Auditioning Projects and Controlling Playback While working on a project, you will want to hear the regions, tracks, pauses, and crossfades. You control project playback with the Transport buttons, or by moving the position line. You can also specify a cycle area for repeated playback of a particular section of your project. Using the Transport Buttons You control project playback and can set the location of the position line with the Transport buttons, located at the bottom center of the Wave View area.
µ Double-click either time ruler to stop playback and move the position line to the clicked location. Moving the Position Line You can move the position line directly to any location. To move the position line Do one of the following: µ Click once at the point you want to place the position line—on either time ruler. Double-click if you want playback to start immediately. µ Drag the position line to a new point. This can be done when the mouse is in either time ruler or an empty track.
The zoom control slider uses a graduated scale. Moving the slider left, or clicking the left side of the scale, zooms in for a closer view of a section of the Wave View area. Moving the slider right, or clicking the right side of the scale, zooms out for a wider view. You can also zoom in or out with menu commands, by using the Zoom tools in the toolbar, by dragging the Zoom Scroll buttons, or by vertically dragging inside the Overview rectangle.
You can navigate to different parts of your project by dragging the scroll bar or red rectangle in the Overview to the left or right. You can also use a number of transport keyboard shortcuts. See WaveBurner Transport Operations Keyboard Shortcuts.
Working with Regions 3 Regions are the building blocks of WaveBurner projects. Regions can include the entire source audio file or any continuous section of an audio file. Edits made to a region do not change the source audio file, so you can always revert to the original, if necessary. When you add an audio file to a project, a region is created. The new region appears in the Wave View area and in the Regions list.
• Checking a Region for Clipping (p. 42) • Bouncing Regions (p. 43) Selecting and Renaming Regions You must first select a region before editing it. Selected regions are highlighted in the Wave View area, Overview, and Regions list. µ To select a region Click the region name in the Regions list or the waveform in the Wave View area. Note: You can select more than one region by either Command- or Shift-clicking the regions. You can also drag across several consecutive regions in the Wave View area.
Reordering and Moving Regions Regions are displayed in their order of appearance in the project—from top to bottom in the Regions list, and from left to right in the Wave View area. You can reorder regions in the Regions list. µ µ µ To reorder region positions Vertically drag the region icon in the left column of the Regions list. To move a region to a new time position Drag the region to the left or right in the Wave View area. This also moves the region’s markers and all subsequent regions.
The pointer changes to the Resize tool. 2 Drag the edge of the region. You can drag the start point to the right, or drag the end point to the left. Note: As you drag, the region is trimmed, and all subsequent regions are moved—in order to retain their relative positions. Press Option while dragging to trim a region without moving adjacent regions. Important: The audio material’s absolute position is shifted when you trim the start point of a region.
The pointer changes to the level envelope tool and a help tag displays the original and adjusted values. 2 Drag vertically to set a new value. Note: Option-drag to manipulate the level independently for each stereo side. Adding and Adjusting Fades Fade-ins and fade-outs are commonly used at the beginning and end of songs in music production. Commercially recorded albums make frequent use of these types of edits to create a sense of continuity when moving from one track to the next.
2 Drag the envelope point to the right to set the length of the fade-in. As you drag, the envelope changes to show the length of the fade. To manually add a fade-out 1 Move the pointer over the fade-out handle located on the volume envelope—at the right edge of the region. The pointer changes to the Fade tool. 2 Drag the envelope point to the left to set the length of the fade-out. As you drag, the envelope changes to show the length of the fade.
2 When the cursor changes to a chain icon, release the Fade length handle. Hold Option to prevent reactivation of the automatic fade. Note: If you move the region to a position where it doesn’t overlap another region, and then move the corresponding Fade length handle to the zero position, the automatic fade function is reactivated. µ To adjust an existing fade You can adjust fade-ins and fade-outs by dragging the fade handles of the region envelope.
3 In the Normalize dialog, set a target level lower than the maximum peak level (0 dB) if appropriate. 4 If appropriate—and several regions are selected—activate the Normalize Each Region Individually checkbox to normalize each region individually. Note: Normalizing can cause a change in the relative volumes between regions. You can maintain the relative volumes of selected regions by ensuring that this checkbox is disabled. Checking a Region for Clipping You can check regions for clipping at any time.
Bouncing Regions When you bounce a region in WaveBurner, the region’s audio, inclusive of level edits, fades, trimming, and the effects of all region plug-ins, are rendered as a new audio file. Note: Region plug-ins are included when you bounce a region, but Mix plug-ins are not. To bounce a region 1 Select the region in the Regions list or Wave View area. 2 Choose File > Bounce Region.
Working with Tracks 4 Tracks are the individual selections on a CD, which a listener chooses with the track number or forward and back buttons of their CD player. By default, a track is created for each region in a project. It is also possible to combine several regions into one track, or to create several tracks with one region. Tracks are defined by a track start marker and a corresponding pause start point—both are automatically inserted when you add a region.
µ Click the relevant track in the CD Tracks list, click the Comments or General tab in the Inspector, then type in the text or value in the appropriate Inspector field. Adding ISRC Codes The International Standard Recording Code, or ISRC, serves as a unique registration code for phonograph and audio-visual recordings. The ISRC standard was established in 1986 by the ISO (International Standards Organization) in ISO document No. 3901.
Consumer-level DAT recorders (and a handful of professional-level units) are usually equipped with SCMS. Given the number of recording devices that do not include this type of copy protection, setting the Copy Prohibit Bit does not guarantee that the track cannot be copied multiple times. WaveBurner provides the option to set the Copy Prohibit Bit in order to comply with the Red Book standard.
3 Choose a save location and name for the track in the Save dialog, then click OK. Note: You can also bounce the entire project by choosing File > Bounce Project. This calculates the complete project offline, and renders it to a single audio file. The bounce file is actually a Mac OS X package containing one continuous audio file, the document data, and mastering info. Bouncing a Mix You can bounce the mix shown in the Mix lane, which saves an audio file in the chosen format.
Working with Markers 5 Markers are integral to the Red Book CD format standard. You can use markers to indicate a specific time position on the CD. Note: Use of markers that do not conform to the Red Book standard are displayed as they will actually appear on the CD in the Mix lane. This chapter covers the following: • Types of Markers (p. 49) • Inserting and Deleting Markers (p. 50) • Moving Markers (p.
Note: CD Track names are shown to the right of track start markers in the Marker bars. • Index markers: Indicate the position of index points—these are additional submarkers within a track. Not all CD players can recognize and locate index points. These are displayed as orange flags. Note: Index point names are shown to the right of index point markers in the Marker bars.
To insert a track start marker 1 Click the Track Start Marker button (the purple marker button to the left of the Transport buttons). Track Start Marker button 2 Click the Marker bar (above or below the region) at the position you want to insert the track start marker. A track start marker and corresponding pause start point are inserted at the clicked position. To change the length of the pause that precedes the track start point, move the left portion of the marker (pause start point) to the left.
µ To delete a marker Click the track or index marker to select it, then press the Delete key. µ To select more than one marker Shift-click the markers in the Marker bar. Moving Markers You can move track start and index markers in the Wave View area. The track start marker and pause start point can be moved together, or separately.
To move a track start marker and pause start point separately 1 Place the pointer directly over the portion of the track marker that you want to move. The pointer changes to a Split Track Marker tool. 2 Drag the marker portion—either track or pause—to the desired position. Note: As long as there is no pause set (in other words, the track marker is still in one piece), moving the right portion of the marker will move both markers.
Working with Effects 6 You can add effects to individual regions or to the overall project mix. Effects let you modify and shape the sound of regions or projects in a variety of ways. Effects can also be automated. Effects can have a significant impact on signal levels (particularly transients). Therefore, it is recommended that you open the Monitoring window when inserting and using effects, to avoid clipping your project. See Using the Monitoring Window for details.
• Dynamics: Adaptive Limiter, Compressor, DeEsser, Enveloper, Expander, Limiter, Multipressor, Noise Gate, Silver Compressor, Silver Gate • Equalization: Additional EQ types are available in the Single Band and Legacy submenus.
2 Choose the effect category, and particular effect name, from the Add Plug-in pop-up menu. The effect appears in the Mix Plug-Ins list, below any effects already added to the project. Tip: Right-click (or Control-click) in the Mix lane to open a shortcut menu that allows you to add or remove plug-ins. To add several effects simultaneously 1 Click the Plug-in Chain pop-up menu button. 2 Choose an effects chain from the pop-up menu, or use the Load Plug-in Chain command to browse for plug-in chains.
2 Type a setting name in the dialog, and click Save. Note: It is recommended that you use the default folder structure for plug-in chain files. To load an effects chain 1 Click the Plug-in Chain pop-up menu in either Plug-Ins list, and choose Load Plug-in Chain. 2 Select a setting in the dialog, and click Open. The chosen plug-in chain is loaded. Bypassing Effects You can bypass an effect in order to hear the region or project without it. This retains all changes you’ve made to the effect parameters.

The results of the scan and test are shown in the Compatibility column. Audio Units that “failed” the validation test can be enabled, but you should be aware that these effects can cause problems. Use of effects that have failed validation can negatively affect the test results of subsequently scanned Audio Units, can cause WaveBurner to quit unexpectedly, or can even lead to data loss (destroyed project files).
Burning a Project to a CD 7 When your project is complete, you can burn the project to a CD. The resulting audio CD conforms to the Red Book standard and can be played on any audio CD player. You can also bounce or export your project. WaveBurner works with all CD burners supported by Mac OS X, including SuperDrives and external third-party CD burners. Before burning your project to a CD, check that the CD burner is connected, turned on, and working, and that WaveBurner recognizes the CD burner.
