Setting Disc Options
You can set many disc options for a project, including the following:
• Adding a UPC/EAN code
• Setting offsets for start points, end points, and indexes
• Setting the default pause length
• Adding a period of silence at the end of the CD
• Adding CD TEXT information, including title, performer, songwriter, composer, and
arranger information, and a text message.
Adding a UPC/EAN Code
Commercially produced CDs typically include a Universal Product Code (UPC) and a
European Article Number (EAN). These contain information about the record company
producing the CD, and may contain additional information.
To add a UPC/EAN code:
1 Choose Disc > Disc Options, then click the General tab if necessary.
2 Type the code in the UPC/EAN Code field.
3 When you are finished, click OK.
Setting Offsets
You can change the position of start point, end point, and index markers globally by
setting an offset. The value unit for offsets is one CDDA frame (1/75th of a second).
When you set an offset, the markers are moved immediately before the project is
burned to a CD, then moved back to their original positions after the CD is burned.
The purpose of setting offsets is to compensate for inaccurate timing in some CD
players, particularly older units.
The Disc Options window includes offset fields for the first start point, other start
points, end points, and index points, allowing you to offset any, or all, of these markers.
The first start point is a special case, because the Red Book standard stipulates that
there must be a two to three second pause before the first track begins. Typing a value
greater than 0 (zero) in the First Start Point field of WaveBurner inserts a corresponding
period of silence before the first track, and every track is shifted by the amount of time
required to maintain this period of silence. The overall length of the CD is increased by
the number of CDDA frames required to maintain the initial period of silence.
To set offsets:
1 Choose Disc > Disc Options, then click the General tab if necessary.
2 Type the offsets you want to set in the First Start Point, Other Start Points, Stop Points,
and Indexes fields. (in CDDA frames)
3 When you are finished, click OK.
