are directly set in the VIP window, and then Samplitude 11 Producer
converts stereo sum and indexes into a data stream which is fed to
the CD burner.
The CD-R drive modifies an assigned layer of the medium by means
of a laser so that an audio CD player can read this information as
digital audio data later on.
Burning CDs in Samplitude 11 Producer
1. In order to write an audio CD, the VIP window must first contain
audio material. You may either record it new or import existing wave
files into the virtual project.
2. Mix your recordings by means of the VIP window's real-time
functions and the mixer window. The CD will later sound exactly like
the playback via a stereo sound card. All settings for the playback will
be audible on the CD, too.
3. Set the track indexes to mark the starting position of each song. If
the VIP window contains only one stereo track (each song is created
as separate object), then you may create indexes in Samplitude 11
Producer with the ”automatic indexes” button. This will cause an
index to be positioned at the beginning of each object. Tracks and
indexes may be arranged in Samplitude 11 Producer as you wish.
Pause intervals may be continuously adjusted, and indexes may be
set without any pause. Samplitude 11 Producer is one of the few
audio programs which features this.
4. When you have made all settings you can write the CD in real time,
or you can use the offline function if your PC is not powerful enough.
Now click ”create CD” in the toolbar or select ”CD -> Create CD” in
the menu. This dialog offers two options:
Write using ”on the fly” mode: all effects are calculated in real time.
Create complete, new files. Samplitude 11 Producer creates a new
stereo file that contains all information on the multiple-track project.
5. One click on ”OK” to start the writing process, and Samplitude 11
Producer starts searching for available CD-R drives. If several drives
are connected to the system, then you will be prompted to select the
correct drive. Before burning, the process can be simulated. You can
