WaveBurner is an application that lets you assemble, master, and burn audio CDs using a SuperDrive or CD burner supported by Mac OS X. Audio CDs created with WaveBurner can be played back on any audio CD player, and can be used as premasters to produce CDs in quantity. WaveBurner supports all Red Book options for CD audio data storage. [. . . ] Royalty collection societies such as GEMA or MCPS/PRS also use the code to automatically generate transmission logs, thus simplifying licensing accounting. For commercial recordings, the ISRC should only consist of the code provided by the record label. If the record label company has not been issued a first owner code, you should contact the IFPI. To add an ISRC code: Click the track's ISRC field, then type the ISRC code in the field. m 25 The CD Track Info Window The CD Track Info window is the best place to view and edit track information, including copy protection and pre-emphasis flags. To show the CD Track Info window, do one of the following: · Select the track in the Track list, then choose Disc > Track Info. · Click the track start marker for the track, then choose Disc > Track Info. · Double-click the track start marker for the track. Setting the Copy Prohibit Bit You can set a Copy Prohibit Bit for a track. When a track's Copy Prohibit Bit is set, the track cannot be digitally copied more than once by recording devices that support the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS). These devices automatically write a Copy Prohibit Bit to prevent further generation of digital copies of the track. Consumer-level DAT recorders (and infrequently, professional-level units) are usually equipped with SCMS. Given the number of recording devices that do not include this type of copy protection, setting the Copy Prohibit Bit does not guarantee that the track cannot be copied multiple times. WaveBurner provides the option to set the Copy Prohibit Bit in order to comply with the Red Book standard. To set the Copy Prohibit Bit: In the General pane of the CD Track Info window, choose "Protected original" or "Protected copy" from the SCMS pop-up menu. Setting Track Pre-Emphasis The use of pre-emphasis dates from the early days of digital sound reproduction, when 14-bit A/D converters without oversampling were frequently used. The high frequencies of digital recordings were boosted or "emphasized" during conversion (similar to the RIAA EQ process for vinyl records), then were attenuated (de-emphasis) after D/A conversion. This process tended to mask the inaccuracies of the conversion process. With today's advanced digital recording technology, it is recommended that you leave pre-emphasis turned off, because modern converters are capable of delivering linear conversion that produces substantially fewer errors than de-emphasis filters. Note: WaveBurner only supports pre-emphasis so that old digital recordings that were processed with a pre-emphasis algorithm can be marked as such. WaveBurner's Preemphasis is only a flag intended for the CD player, and will not change the way that the audio is processed when you burn a CD. m 26 m To turn on pre-emphasis: Click the Pre-Emphasis checkbox in the General pane of the CD Track Info window. Bouncing Tracks You can bounce a track. As with bouncing a region, bouncing a track has two benefits: it lets you save a processed version of the track, including plug-ins and so on, and it can help conserve processing power. 3 Choose a save location and name for the track in the Save dialog, then click OK. Working With Markers Markers are integral to the Red Book CD format standard. [. . . ] The number of channels available depends on the device selected in the Driver pop-up menu. Preview Preferences If the preview function is active (Disc > Preview Disc or Preview Track) WaveBurner plays a short segment around each track marker--in consecutive order. · Pre-Roll: Playback time (in seconds) that precede a track pause marker (playback of the last x seconds of the preceding track). · Post-Roll: Playback time (in seconds) that follow a track start marker (playback of the first x seconds of the following track).
