Burning CDs 281
Get CD info (freeDB): When you click this button, Samplitude Music Studio 2013
looks for information to the title in the freeDB.org data base and displays it.
Burn CD: opens the actual burning dialog. Here you can select the burning speed,
burn CD text to the blank disc, simulate burning and create the CD as a CD extra
project. In addition, you can compare the CD after burning with the project data in
order to compare the error rate. If it is too high, the burning speed has to be lowered.
Even new CD and DVD burners can cause errors during burning.
Cancel: closes the dialog without burning.
Print CD cover: opens MAGIX Xtreme Print Center, an included printing program,
using which you can print a CD cover. Track information are automatically transferred
as a table into the print project in MAGIX Xtreme Print Center.
Help: opens the corresponding section of the Help file.
DSP display
System capacity is essential to the real time CD writing process. Once the writing
process started, it cannot be stopped. The CD will be unusable if the the process is
interrupted. When ”on the fly” is selected, the computer must calculate the playback
with all real-time functions and simultaneously write the data onto the CD.
The DSP display is a useful tool to assess possible problems when writing to the CD.
The table below gives you a clue to the maximum possible writing speed. Individual
deviations may result due to the configuration of your system and the speed of its
components.
DSP display and writing speed
Nearly 100 percent single speed
Up to 50 percent double speed
Up to 25 percent fourfold speed
In particular, when first using a new and unknown computer system it is
recommended to simulate the writing process first to check the system's
performance limits. If the system becomes overloaded, reducing the number of tracks
or real-time effects will help by combining parts of the VIP window (trackbouncing).
The offline writing process variation offers another possibility. It creates a new stereo
file first as the basis for the writing process.
