CD/DVD menu
This menu contains special functions for the CD/DVD mastering process like setting CD
tracks, sub-indices and dialogs for creating CDs or audio DVDs.
In Samplitude you can burn CDs directly from within virtual projects or any stereo HD wave
project. A sample rate of 44.1 kHz is required. 24-bit objects are converted into 16-bit
objects when burning CDs or when trackbouncing.
Single track virtual projects, so-called CD VIPs, are especially suited to being burned to CD
from already existing .WAV files or wave projects. When loading, the wave projects are
ordered independently of the range one after the other in the virtual project on one track.
The distance is set via the CD pause time ("CD/DVD menu -> Set start/pause time (view
page 678)").
If you want a finished virtual project to be burned as a track onto CD, use the command
"CD/DVD -> Create CD -> Generate completely new file (view page 670)" beforehand to
convert this multi-track project into a single wave project. It can then be placed into the
new CD VIP as a track object.
Import audio CD track(s)
This function allows the import of audio data from CD/DVD drives. The data is imported
digitally, thus eliminating any loss in sound quality. On import, the CD tracks are created as
wave files and integrated into the virtual project.
If you want to import audio CD tracks into a virtual project, just follow these easy steps:
1. Open the "CD/DVD" menu or the "File -> Load/Import -> Import audio CD track(s) (view
page 379)" dialog.
2. If you have more than one drive installed, click "CD drive options" to open the drive list
dialog. Select the desired CD-ROM drive and then close the dialog by clicking "OK".
Note: The button "CD drive options..." and the fields for export speed and copy mode
provides the name of the currently addressed CD/DVD drive.
If the drive letter of the CD burner has changed in the meantime, you will have to reset the
drive list in order to guarantee correct allocation.
3. Select the desired track(s) using the keyboard combination Shift or Alt + Cursor keys.
4. Click on "Copy selected CD tracks..."
5. Select a file name for the created WAV file or HD Wave Project and click on OK.
6. The audio material is now copied onto your hard drive from the CD. A progress bar
indicates the status.
7. Close the track list and drive list. New objects will appear in your VIP containing the
audio material of you CD.
