Track markers and CD authoring
In WaveLab one of the main concepts to understand about audio CDs is the use of markers to
define tracks, and the breaks between tracks. Each track must at least have a track start and
track end marker. Some of the various authoring tools provided by WaveLab will generate
these track markers for you automatically but you can also manually define, modify and edit
them using the marker window or directly in the main editing window. You can also use other
marker types to determine where track indexes are and to cross fade two tracks together
seamlessly to create a gapless CD. See "CD/DVD-A authoring markers" in Marker types for
more information on the specific function of different markers.
Authoring in the Audio Montage Workspace
In the Audio Montage Workspace you can use the following tools to author your audio disks:
CD window - this window contains a variety of tools for authoring and burning CDs
with a great deal of precision and control. It even has a CD Wizard to create CD tracks
quickly from your montage Clips. This window provides full control over your audio CD.
See CD window for more details.
DVD Audio window - use this window for authoring and burning DVD-Audio disks.
It uses Audio Montage files to create tracks for your DVD-A disk. See DVD-Audio
window for more details.
Marker window - use this window in conjunction with the CD window to edit CD track
names and times. You can also drag markers in the main Audio Montage editing window
to adjust start/end times and double-click on a marker's name to edit its marker/track
name.
Authoring in the Audio File Workspace
In the Audio File Workspace there are also some tools to allow you to create and author
audio CDs, these include:
Basic Audio CD - use this window to quickly create an audio CD from individual Audio
Files. Any track markers you have previously created will be used to define tracks or
WaveLab will automatically define track markers for you for each Audio File if you haven't
created any. If you wish to have more control over your audio CD, you can export your
Basic Audio CD session to the Audio Montage Workspace. You could do this for
example, if you wanted to create a DVD-Audio disk or wanted to add and adjust cross
fading between tracks. See Basic Audio CD window for more details.
Marker window - use this window to add and edit CD track names and times to an
Audio File. You can also drag markers in the main Audio Files editing window to adjust
start/end times and double-click on a marker's name to edit its marker/track name.
Your markers are saved along with Audio Files (unless you deactivate this option in
preferences) and are used by WaveLab for example, if you import the file later to create
a Basic Audio CD.
