CDR media can only be written on once, so the CDR authoring software allows you to design your CD completely before you burn it. Since the CD must contain a directory of what is on it, and since that directory is on the write once media also, all of the information must be burned to the CD at the same time. Recording the information to the CD is done in a Session. [. . . ] Once the computer has finished, you're done!Go ahead and put the disc into the CD player of your choice, and listen to your new masterpiece. You're on CD! Recording the Audio CD Now you have your audio edited and processed, and your track numbers are all marked. To make a CD out of this, just press the Make CD button. A menu will appear with a number of options. "On The Fly" means Red Roaster will process everything from your edit screen in real time. This includes crossfades, effects, EQ, and so on. "Generate a completely new file" actually creates a disc image on your hard drive before it will burn the CD. In other words, it processes everything and stores that final result on your hard drive, and then records to the CD from the image. Either way, it is important to realize that your original data is untouched by EZ CD Creator Tutorial Quick Navigational Tips Using EZ CD Creator is quite simple, and the EZ CD Creator Wizard can walk you through assembling a Data CD without a hitch. However, the data window itself can use a bit of explanation. This screen is useful if you need to re-order your files. For everything else, use the CD Creator Wizard to walk you through the process. When the CD is arranged, go ahead and press the Create CD button, or select "Create CD" from the File menu. You will be prompted to select the write speed, and whether you want to run a test burn, actually burn the CD, or both. For the first few CDs you make, we highly recommend doing test burns first. Depending on what your source data is coming from, the drive may not be fast enough to support 6x or 8x burns. This can be even further complicated if your drive is "fragmented, " meaning the data is not in a continuous block on the drive. (This happens frequently when the drive is nearing capacity. ) So just to be safe, run the test before burning for a little while until you are sure the system will run properly. If your system is having trouble keeping up with the drive, read the "Troubleshooting Underruns" section at the end of this Guide. The top two frames are for browsing your hard drive, and the bottom two represent the CD you are assembling. You can select data from the top frame, and drag it down to the bottom frame. There is a separate player application called Xing MP3 Player. Boot up that program, and select the files you want to listen to. [. . . ] 3) If the drive is operating properly as a CD-ROM, but not as a CD-R, then check the Device Manager to make sure the SCSI card is properly installed. - If you are trying to extract audio from an audio CD or trying to copy from CD to CD, your CD-ROM must be capable of these functions. (Not all CD-ROMs can do that. ) If necessary, your CD-R drive is capable of most of these types of functions, so you may use the CD-R drive to extract to your hard drive, then burn back to the CD. The drive is not recording to the blank CDs. [. . . ]
