Convert To WAV First

This converts the mix to one or more WAV files on your hard drive. CD-

quality WAV files require around 8 MB for every minute of audio burned.

Therefore, a 74 minute mix will require about 650 MB of hard drive space. The

advantage to converting to WAV first is that it may help the success rate of burns

for some older CD recorders, especially if the CD writer does not have Burn

Proof.

Create CD-TEXT

If the CD writer supports CD-TEXT, you should be able to check the CD-TEXT

box. When the CD is played on a player that supports CD-TEXT, titles and

names of each track are visible. Sony CD players often support CD-TEXT.

You can enter a CD-TEXT title for the CD's title. Track names will be derived

from CD track markers.

Burn As One Track

This option essentially skips CD track markers created in the project and burns

the whole project as one track. If your burner is only supported in IMAPI mode

this is a good option for a seamless mix, because IMAPI mode places a two-

second gap between tracks. (The main drawback is that you can't skip to specific

tracks when playing the CD.)

Burn All Or Selection

Choose Burn All to burn up to 80 minutes of audio, depending on the blank

CD capacity. Choose Burn Selection to burn the current selection of audio. This

can be useful if the mix goes beyond 74 or 80 minutes and you want to burn

extended sections. (Note that it simply uses the selected area to define a time

range to burn.)
