Getting Started With WaveBurner

You assemble CDs in a WaveBurner project. A project contains audio regions and CD
tracks, that are created when you add audio files. All region and track edits, effect plug-
ins and track and index markers are contained in the project. A project can also include
CD TEXT, disc and mastering information.

Projects do not include the original audio files—only references to file location(s) on
(your computer’s) hard disk(s). This keeps the size of the project file relatively small. The
original audio files are not changed when performing edits in WaveBurner.

Note: If you bounce an audio file in your WaveBurner project, it will be added to your
project, which may significantly increase the project file size.

Elements of a Project

The main elements of a WaveBurner project include audio files, regions, and tracks.

Audio files: Audio files are the source material for the regions in your projects.

Regions: When you add an audio file to a project, a region is created. The region can
include the entire source audio file or any continuous section of the audio file. When
you edit a region in the Wave View area or the Region list, the edits only affect the
region, not the source audio file.

Tracks: Tracks are the individual selections on a CD, which a listener chooses with the
track number or forward and back buttons on a CD player. Tracks can include multiple
regions, and one region can span multiple tracks.

Creating, Opening, and Saving Projects

The first step in creating a CD in WaveBurner is to create a new project.

To create a new project:

m

Choose File > New (or press Command-N).

A new blank, untitled project document appears. You can name the project when you
first save it.
