BURNING CDS CHP. 19
Setting up to burn audio CDs
You can set the project properties and adjust preferences to better accommodate writing audio CDs. The
ruler and time display are set up for you automatically.
Viewing the ruler and time display
The ruler and time display are automatically changed to audio CD time for you when you mark CD tracks in
a project.
Audio CD time formats are as follows:
Setting project properties
Click the Properties button ( ) to access project properties. On the Audio CD tab, you can set the Universal
Product Code/Media Catalog Number (UPC/MCN) or set the number for the first track on the CD. For
more information, see Audio CD tab on page 334.
Setting preferences
From the Options menu, choose Preferences to access the Preferences dialog. On the CD Settings tab, you can
select the CD drive or set the speed at which you will burn the CD. For more information, see CD Settings tab
on page 350.
You can also enter the number of seconds added between tracks when adding Project Media window files as
CD tracks. In the same Preferences dialog, click the
Editing tab, and enter a value in the Default time between
CD tracks
box.
Finally, you may want to turn off the Quantize to Frames command in the Options menu. When quantizing
to frames is active, your edits are limited to the starting edge of frame boundaries. In a CD layout project, you
can turn this feature off to allow greater precision in editing and track placement. For more information, see
Quantizing to frames on page 125.
