Apple WaveBurner 1.6 - Manual (Page 29)

• Tracks: Tracks are the individual selections on a CD, which a listener chooses with the
track number or forward and back buttons of their CD player. Tracks can include multiple
regions, and one region can span multiple tracks.
How Names Are Handled in WaveBurner
There are four name types in WaveBurner: the audio filename, region name, track name,
and CD-Text track title name. You might expect a connection between the track title
shown in the CD Tracks list and the Title field of the Inspector’s CD-Text window. These
are separate entities, as you may want to use an alternate entry for CD-Text, which is
shown on the displays of some CD players. As an example, you may wish to differentiate
between a concert (live) version of a particular track, and the studio version.
Creating, Opening, and Saving Projects
The first step in making a CD in WaveBurner is the creation of a new project.
Note: You can set preferences for various aspects of WaveBurner in the Preferences
window. Some preferences apply to the current project, and others apply when you
create a new project. You may want to set some preferences before you begin working
on your projects. See
Setting WaveBurner Preferences for details.
To create a new project
µ
Choose File > New (or press Command-N).
A new blank, untitled project document appears. You can name the project when saving
it for the first time.
Tip: Dragging audio files onto the WaveBurner icon in the Finder or Dock creates a new
project. The audio files are automatically added to the new project.
To open an existing project
1 Choose File > Open (or press Command-O).
Note: You can also choose a recently opened project from the File > Open Recent menu.
2 Choose the project in the dialog, and click Open.
Note: You can open old WB 2 (Mac OS 9) files. These are automatically converted to the
Mac OS X WaveBurner file format. Saving the file will not overwrite the old WB 2 file, but
you should note that files saved in Mac OS X WaveBurner format cannot be opened in
Mac OS 9 WaveBurner versions.
To save a project
µ
Choose File > Save (or press Command-S).
Note: You can also bounce or export your project. See Bouncing or Exporting Your Project .
