markers can be moved using the mouse or the Track Wizard (1Click button)

Click on the "Make CD" button. In the "Make CD" dialogue you can choose, if you want to
write the CD directly or if you prefer to create an Image file on the hard disk. The creation of an
Image file is then recommendable, when the available system resources are not enough for writing
the CD in real time ("On the Fly").
4.
Now the CD can be written. You will only need a CD-R-drive, which is supported by MAGIX
Music Editor 3 connected to your computer and an empty CD in the drive. Clicking on "Write
CD" starts the writing process. If you should have more than one CD-R-drive connected to your
system, you will be prompted to select one of them.
Track Length
According to the RedBook Standard, the minimum distance between two Track Markers is 4 seconds.
Since Track Markers normally show the beginning of a song, no problems should arise. If you try to set
the MAGIX Track Markers at a lesser distance, an error message will appear.
System display
The system resources are very important while writing a CD in real time. Once the process has been
started, it cannot be interrupted. When writing "on the fly", the computer has to calculate the playback
including all real time functions and write them on the CD at the same time. If the system is not fast
enough, the process will be aborted and the CD will be useless.
The system display of the MAGIX Audio
Cleaning Lab 11 helps you to prevent such problems when writing a CD.
If your system is overcharged, activate the "Create an Image file" option in the "Make CD" dialogue. This
will create a stereo file, which will be the source for the writing process. This file includes all effects and
object settings, as well as the tracks and track markers, so that the system doesn't need to calculate them
again while writing various copies (see Write CD parameters
).
Burning wizard
Burning an audio
CD is made much easier with the burning wizard. It tests the capacity of the inserted blank disc and
compares it with the length of the object ? this provides a basis for the processor requirements need to
burn the CD optimally.
CD tracks als separate wave files
In order to burn more CDs later, without having to produce a new image file, you can export all CD
tracks as single .wav files. Select the option, "Each CD track in a file", in the Export dialog. Later, you
can load the tracks and burn them directly. Exporting will make a play list file with the "m3u" extension.
If, instead of opening each wave file, you open the Playlist
File, all project tracks will be loaded in the right order, and the standard pause of two seconds will be
inserted between songs. All effect editing is included in the wav files, so you can burn additional CD
copies "on the fly".
