21 – 572 Burning an audio CD
Introduction
For a description of how to create a DVD-Audio disc, see “Creating a DVD-
Audio compatible disc” on page 589.
This chapter describes the basic CD burning process, as well as some
general reference information about the CD format.
It does not, however, describe the necessary preparations for creating a
CD from a basic audio CD or an Audio Montage. In other words, this
chapter assumes that the respective preparations have been completed,
and that you are ready to execute the actual CD burning.
Please refer to the chapters “Preparing a Basic Audio CD” and “The Audio
Montage” for a description of the respective preparations before following
the instructions in this chapter.
Note that some procedures and menu items differ according to what
method has been used to prepare audio tracks for burning.
Selecting a CD-R unit
Before you start writing, you must specify which CD-R unit WaveLab
should use (for example, you can have more than one unit connected at a
time, and switch between them from within WaveLab).
1. If you are starting from a basic audio CD, pull down the “CD” menu and
select “Write CD”. For Montages, click the CD tab and select “Write CD”
from the Functions pop-up menu.
2. Use the Device pop-up menu to select your recorder.
3. Click the “i” (info) button next to the Device name.
This will show you details about, and settings for, your specific CD-R unit. Click the ques-
tion mark icon in the dialog for details.
