descriptions) and click OK.
Easy CD Creator will begin recording your CD layout to the blank CD.

Pre-recording Audio Tracks to Wave Files
Pre-recording audio tracks to Wave files on your hard drive is a way to:
■ Minimize swapping CDs in and out of your drive if you want to make
more than one copy, or if you have only a CD-Writer Plus drive
■ Add sound effects to customize any song on the CD (using a third-
party sound editor)
■ Improve the sound quality if your CD recording system is less than
optimal
You can pre-record one Wave file at a time. To pre-record a Wave file from
an existing CD, follow these steps:
1. Insert the source CD, which contains the song you want to pre-record to
your hard drive, into your CD-Writer Plus.
2. Click the Audio CD Layout tab in Easy CD Creator.
3. Select the audio track you want to pre-record from Explorer and drag it
into the Audio CD Layout window.
4. Highlight the audio track in the Audio CD Layout window.
5. Select Pre-record to WAV file from the Track menu.
NOTE: Pre-recording audio tracks to Wave files requires approximately 10MB
of space on your hard drive for one minute of music.
