Chapter 13: Burning Audio CDs

dobe Audition provides an integrated CD burning utility that makes it easy to
create audio CDs from audio and session files.

Using CD Project View

CD Project View provides an easy-to-use interface for assembling CD tracks, setting track
properties, and burning CDs. The display window in CD Project View contains the track
list, which displays information about the audio tracks you assemble. CD Project View
also shares many elements with Edit View and Multitrack View, such as dockable windows,
menus, toolbars, and a status bar. (See “About the work area” on page 9.)

CD Project View

You use the tabs above the display window, commands in the View menu, or buttons in
the toolbar to switch between views. (See “Switching between views” on page 11.)

Assembling tracks

You can assemble the tracks for a CD all at once, or you can insert individual tracks as you finish
editing the audio. After you insert tracks, you can also change their order or remove them.

When you assemble audio for a CD, you’ll probably want to fine tune the individual tracks
so that they form a cohesive whole. This process—known as mastering—often involves
cropping files, adjusting dynamics (compressing), and comparing the audio for continuity
levels and EQ. (See “About the mastering process” on page 117 and “Normalizing groups
of files” on page 244.)
