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, 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 locations on
your computer hard disks. 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 your project, WaveBurner calculates the complete project off-line,
and renders it to one continuous audio file. The bounce file is actually a Mac OS X
package containing one continuous audio file, the document data, and mastering
information.
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 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.
