Name Handling in WaveBurner

There are four name types in WaveBurner: the file name, region name, track name, and
CD Text track title name. You might expect a connection between the track title shown
in the Track list and the CD TEXT track title panel in the CD Track Info window. These are
separate entities, as you may want to use an alternate entry for CD TEXT, shown on
appropriate CD players. As an example, you may wish to differentiate between a
concert (live) version of a particular track, and the studio version.

Auditioning Projects and Controlling Playback

While working on a project, you’ll want to hear the regions, tracks, pauses, and
crossfades. You can control project playback with the Transport buttons, or by moving
the position line.

Using the Transport Buttons

You can control project playback and set the location of the position line with the
Transport buttons, located at the bottom center of the Wave View area.

The Transport buttons include, from left to right:

 Go to previous track start marker: Moves the position line to the previous track start

marker. If the project is currently playing, playback continues from this point. Hold
Option while clicking this button to move the position line to the previous index
marker.

 Go to next track start marker: Sets the position line to the next track start marker. If

the project is currently playing, playback continues from this point. Hold Option
while clicking this button to move the position line to the next index marker.

 Catch: Turns Catch mode on or off. When Catch mode is turned on, the visible part of

the Wave View area scrolls, ensuring that the position line always remains visible.
