Adding a UPC/EAN Code
Commercially produced CDs typically include a Universal Product Code (UPC) and a
European Article Number (EAN). These contain information about the record company
producing the CD, and may contain additional information.
To add a UPC/EAN code
1 Click the track header or an empty space on either Region lane in the Wave View area.
Click the General tab in the Inspector, if necessary.
2 Type the code in the UPC/EAN Code field.
Defining Offsets
You can globally change the position of start point, end point, and index markers by
setting an offset. The value unit for offsets is one CDDA frame (1/75th of a second). When
you set an offset, the markers are moved immediately before the project is burned to a
CD, then moved back to their original positions after the CD is burned.
The purpose of offsets is to compensate for inaccurate timing in some CD players,
particularly older units.
The Disc-related General tab in the Inspector includes offset fields for the first start point,
other start points, end points, and index points, allowing you to offset any, or all, of these
markers.
The first start point is a special case, because the Red Book standard stipulates that there
must be a two- to three-second pause before the first track begins. Typing a value greater
than 0 (zero) in the First Start Point field inserts a corresponding period of silence before
the first track. All subsequent tracks are shifted by the amount of time required to maintain
this period of silence. The overall length of the CD is increased by the number of CDDA
frames required to maintain the initial period of silence.
To define offsets
1 Click the track header or an empty space on either Region lane in the Wave View area.
Click the General tab in the Inspector, if necessary.
2 Type the offsets you want to set in the First Start Point, Other Start Points, Stop Points,
and Indexes fields (in CDDA frames).
Adding and Exporting Mastering Notes
You can add mastering information notes to your project, in case you need to refer to
them later. You can save details for the session, the client, and information about each
track. Three separate tabs are available in the Inspector.
• Session: Enter details for the Session ID, date and time, company, studio, engineer,
source media, and bit and sample rate.
