analog plane. While in action, track indexes show the CD
player which song starts at what position.
MAGIX audio studio can write an audio CD directly out
from the program too. Before the write process starts, the
track indexes are directly set in the VIP window. Then
MAGIX audio studio converts stereo sum and indexes into
a data stream that is fed to the CD burner.
The CD-R drive modifies an assigned layer of the medium
by means of a laser such that an audio CD player can read
this information as digital audio data later on.
1. In order to write an audio CD the VIP window must at
first contain audio material. You may either record it new
or import existing wave files into the virtual project.
In theory, multiple-track projects might be written in any
number of tracks onto the CD in realtime. Reality sets a
limit that is determined by the capacity of the computer. If
the computer produces intermittent faults this may be an
indication that the writing process onto the CD won’t
function in realtime any longer too. In this case create a
single stereo file by trackbouncing first, import it into a
new VIP window, and there you set the track indexes now.
2. Mix your recordings by means of the realtime functions
of the VIP window and the mixer window. The CD will
later sound exactly like you will hear the playback via a
stereo sound card. All settings for the playback will be
audible on the CD too.
You may arrange the individual tracks or objects by the
equalizer, compressor or delay, and upgrade the stereo sum
with master effects such as the stereo enhancer. You may,
furthermore, adjust sound conditions by means of the
automation curves.
3. Set the track indexes to mark the starting position of
each song. The track indexes show the CD player which
sing starts at what position. Since the track indexes are a
special kind of markers they can be edited like them. As
an example, they may be moved afterwards.
If the VIP window contains but one stereo track in which
each song is created as separate object, you may cause
MAGIX audio studio to create indexes by means of the
button ”automatic indexes”. This will cause an index to be
positioned at the beginning of each object. Tracks and
indexes may be arranged in MAGIX audio studio at
