Working With Tracks
Tracks are the individual selections on a CD, which a listener selects using the track
number buttons or the forward and back buttons on a CD player.
By default, a track is created for each region in a project. Tracks are defined by track
start markers and pause start markers, which are automatically inserted when you add
a region. You can move these markers from their default positions and insert additional
markers. For information about inserting and moving markers, see “
The Track List
Tracks are displayed in the Track list in order from top to bottom. If you reorder regions
in the Region list, the Track list is updated to show the new order.
The Track list displays information about each track, including the track name, track
length, start time, and track pause. You can edit the track information in the Track list.
You can add comments, add ISRC codes, and set pre-emphasis for the track.
Adding Comments
Comments give you a way to save information about a track. You can see a track’s
comments in the Track list, but users will not see them.
To add track comments:
m
Click the track’s Comments field, then type the comments in the field.
Adding ISRC Codes
The International Standard Recording Code, or ISRC, serves as a unique registration
code for phonograph and audio-visual recordings. The ISRC standard was established in
1986 by the ISO (International Standards Organization) in ISO document No. 3901. The
IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) was designated as the
international registration agency in 1989. The IFPI recommends that members include
the ISRC in the subcode as a “fingerprint” for all digital recordings. In 1992, all member
companies received their “first owner” codes.
The ISRC is permanently stored in the subcode of a recording. When the recording is
altered or edited, a new ISRC has to be used. An ISRC can be allocated only once. The
first owner can integrate ISRCs into an existing coding system, as long as doing so
requires no more than five digits (designation code). A complete ISRC contains 12
characters, such as that shown below:
DE-K22-98-256-12
•
Country code (compliant with ISO 3166, in this case, Germany)
•
First owner code (record company, in this case, Polydor)
•
Year of recording code (2 digits)
•
Designation code (5 digits)
