17 – 360 Preparing a Basic Audio CD
Adjusting pauses
Each track has a pause setting. This pause will be played before the be-
ginning of the track.
• To change the length of the pause, double click on the value (the dark red
digits). As usual, you can right click on the numbers (after double clicking)
to set the value using sliders.
If you press [Ctrl] while setting the length of a pause, all tracks will get the same pause length.
• Don’t confuse seconds with frames; 00:00.02 is 2 frames (almost noth-
ing) while 00:02.00 is 2 seconds
Naming tracks
• If you hold down [Alt] and double click on a track name, you can edit it (to
be precise, what you are editing is the name of the CD track markers in
the audio file). Please note that this name is not stored on the CD (CD
tracks don't have names). This naming is only for your convenience.
Other settings
• The ISRC field (see “ISRC codes” on page 579) can be edited by double clicking.
• The comment field is also edited by double clicking. This text is not stored on the
CD, it is only here for your convenience.
• The key symbol indicates a track copy protection “flag” (on/off setting). Click here
to activate/deactivate this flag. Please note that this setting is hardly ever used now-
adays, and not all CD-R units can even handle it. Normally you will leave this off.
• The little rainbow colored symbol indicates the Emphasis “flag”. This setting is
used to indicate if the track was recorded with emphasis or not. Please note that
this does not apply/remove emphasis from the audio, it is just an indicator for how
the file was created. Normally you will leave this off.
There is a shortcut for the last two settings: To invert the settings for all
tracks, click on the column heading instead of the actual track item.
