Working with Tracks
Tracks contain the media events on the timeline of a project. Your entire CD can be created from a single event on the
timeline, or each track can be created from a single event or multiple events on the timeline.
Tip:
If you want to create a live CD with no silence between tracks, move your events so no space exists between them and
insert silence only before the first track.
Creating tracks from events
Tracks and events are independent in CD Architect
™
software, but that doesn't mean you can't use events to lay out your
CD project.
Note:
CD track numbering is based on the First track number on disc setting on the CD tab in the Project Properties
dialog.
Creating tracks automatically when you add events to the timeline
When the Automatically Create Tracks button is selected, the application will automatically create tracks when you
add media to the timeline from the Explorer, Media Pool, or Trimmer.
The Open Media dialog allows you to choose whether you want to add media to the Media Pool only, create events on
the timeline, or create CD tracks.
You can drag CD tracks to rearrange them, drag either end of a track to change its length, or use the Track List window to
edit the track's position or name.
Creating tracks from existing events
1.
Add media files to your project and edit events on the timeline to lay out your CD.
2.
From the Tools menu, choose Create Track List from Events. CD Architect software marks each event with a CD
track.
You can drag CD tracks to rearrange them, drag either end of a track to change its length, or use the Track List
window to edit the track's position or name.
Tip:
When space exists between events, CD Architect software creates separate tracks for each event. If you want to
create a track that spans multiple events, you can abut or overlap the events, and CD Architect software will create a
single track. If you want to create a track for each event on the timeline when no space exists between events, select all
of the events and choose Create Tracks from Media Regions from the Tool s menu.
