Assembling CDs
About CD View
CD View provides an easy-to-use interface for assembling CD tracks, setting track properties, and burning CDs. You
can assemble tracks for a CD all at once, or you can insert individual tracks as you finish editing audio. After you
insert tracks, you can reorder or remove them.
When you assemble audio for a CD, you’ll probably want to fine-tune individual tracks so they form a cohesive
whole. This process—known as mastering—often involves cropping files, applying compression, and comparing
tracks to ensure continuity of levels and EQ. For more information, see “Mastering effect” on page 161 and
“Normalize a group of files” on page 258.
Compact discs typically hold 650 MB of data, which equals 74 minutes of stereo audio.
