The Audio Montage 19 – 541
5. Click OK.
Now, the whole Montage is rendered to an CD image file, with a corresponding cue sheet.
A new Audio Montage is created, which will play back as the original Montage and have all
its features (but refer to the ready-processed CD image file instead).
Now you can proceed with burning the CD as described in the next chapter.
• It is also possible to create a Basic Audio CD from the Render dialog.
This will also separate the processing and the CD burning and thus conserve processing
power. However, not all Montage features (e.g. Audio in pauses and CD Text) are available
in a Basic Audio CD. Therefore, use this for simple audio CDs only.
Creating an Audio CD report
Basic concept
An Audio CD report presents the contents of the current Audio Montage
in text form, for printing.
Audio CD reports are based on a number of small documents in RTF for-
mat (Rich Text Format), one for each section in the report. These can be
edited in any RTF-compatible application (e.g. WordPad), allowing you to
change fonts and styles, set text justifications, add pictures, etc.
Furthermore, the RTF documents contain references to text variables, and
these provide the actual information in the Audio CD report – track names,
times, etc. When generating the report, the information provided by the
variables will be presented according to the set style in the RTF documents.
There are two types of variables, factory and user editable:
• Factory variables provide automatically generated information about a project
such as number of tracks, track times, track names, etc. – based on the actual
contents of the project.
• User variables contain personal data such as company name and copyright infor-
mation, etc. – which is defined by the user.
Along with the variables, the Audio CD report can also include any CD
Text you have specified in the Edit CD Text dialog (see “Edit CD-Text” on
page 539). This is typically where you specify composers, performers, etc.
