56 Chapter 7 Burning a Project to a CD
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 Choose Disc > Disc Options, then click the General tab if necessary.
2 Type the code in the UPC/EAN Code field.
3 When you are finished, click OK.
Setting 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 Options window 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 set offsets:
1 Choose Disc > Disc Options, then click the General tab 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)
3 When you are finished, click OK.

need to refer to it later. You can save details on the session, the client, the plug-ins and
dithering used, and information about each track.
 Session Info includes the Session ID, date and time, company, studio, engineer,
source media, bit depth, and sample rate.
 Client Info includes the disc title, client, artist, producer, and copyright.
