The Audio Montage 19 – 533
6. If you like, activate the option “Adjust pause before tracks”.
This automatically adjusts the pause before each track, either to a fixed value (as specified
in the Set time value box) or to the number of whole seconds closest to each current pause
in the Montage.
If you want to adjust the pauses between tracks but don’t want the start time of the first
track in the Montage to change, be sure to activate “Don’t change first pause”. If you do, the
original position of the first track will not change relative to the start of the Montage.
• The Red Book audio CD standard requires that the pause before the first
track is at least 2 seconds (this does not apply to DVD-Audio).
If the option “Automatically set the standard duration for pause #1” is activated on the CD/
DVD-A view : Options menu, WaveLab will automatically adjust the first pause to 2 sec-
onds. This option is activated by default.
7. Adjust the other settings if you want.
Click the question mark icon in the dialog for details.
8. Click Apply.
The dialog closes. Now, CD or DVD track markers are generated and pauses are adjusted
according to your settings. The CD/DVD view will now display a list of CD or DVD tracks,
as defined by the corresponding track markers.
9. You can use the Play Next/Play Previous buttons on the toolbar (also
available on the Functions menu) to audition tracks.
10. You can use the “Play all track starts” playback option on the toolbar (also
available on the Functions menu) to check the beginning of – or the tran-
sition between – consecutive tracks, see “Checking transitions between
tracks” on page 539.
11. If needed, you can adjust the CD or DVD track markers manually in the
Track View or Markers view.
An example of a situation where you would need to add markers manually would be a con-
tinuous recording (one clip, e.g. a live recording), which you want to divide into separate
CD/DVD tracks. Since this would contain neither clip boundaries nor crossfade points, the
CD/DVD Wizard would not add any markers (apart from at the start and end of the whole
clip). Then it would be necessary to add track splice markers at the desired positions. Other
instances are track indexes (see “The different types of “events” on an audio CD” on page
578 – this describes events on an audio CD but applies to events on a DVD-A as well).
However, in most cases the CD/DVD Wizard will do a good job, and we recommend that
you don’t edit the generated markers unless you really need to.
12. Select “Check” from the CD/DVD-A view : Functions menu or click the
“glasses” icon.
WaveLab will check the CD/DVD list and inform you whether it’s OK or not (this check is
also performed automatically before actually burning a CD from the Montage). For DVD-Au-
dio you can also use the check function for all Montages added to a DVD-Audio project be-
fore the final rendering process.
