Getting Started With WaveBurner Pro
You create your CDs in a WaveBurner Pro project. A project contains audio regions and
CD tracks created when you add audio files to the project, the edits you make to the
regions and tracks, any markers for track start, pause start, or index points contained in
the project. A project can also include disc and mastering information.
Projects do not include the original audio files, only references to the files’ location on
disk. This keeps the size of the project file relatively small.
Elements of a Project
The elements of a WaveBurner Pro project include audio files, regions, and tracks.
• Audio files: Audio files are the source material for the regions and tracks 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 affect only the
region, not the source audio file.
• Tracks: Tracks are the individual selections a user sees in the CD display, and chooses
using the forward and back buttons and the track buttons on their CD player. Tracks
can include multiple regions, and one region can span multiple tracks.
