Moving Track Start and Pause Start Markers Separately
You can move the track start marker and pause start marker for a region separately,
keeping one of them in the same position and changing the pause length.
To move a track start and pause start marker separately:
1 Place the pointer directly over the head of whichever marker you want to move.
The pointer changes to the shape of the head of a marker.
2 Drag the marker to the point in time where you want to place it.
Working With Effects
You can add effects to individual regions or to the overall project mix. Effects let you
modify and shape the sound of regions or projects in a variety of ways.
You add effects to your project using effects plug-ins. WaveBurner Pro includes a
complete set of professional-quality plug-ins you can use for mastering a CD. You can
also add effects plug-ins in Audio Units format, including plug-ins developed by
third-party vendors. You can adjust the parameters of effects plug-ins in
WaveBurner Pro to get exactly the sound you want.
Types of Effects
There are several different types of effects commonly used in mastering a CD, including:
• Dynamics: These effects let you shape the volume level of your projects over time.
• Equalization (or EQ): These effects let you change the level of selected frequencies.
EQ provides a powerful way of shaping the sound of your projects.
• Noise reduction: These effects help you eliminate pops, cracks, hum, and other
unwanted noise.
• Stereo enhancement: These effects change how listeners perceive the placement of
sounds in the stereo field.
• Audio analysis: These are not effects per se, but tools which let you analyze the audio
signal, in order to spot clipping and optimize the mix for specific listening environments.
