Inserting a CD index
From the Insert menu, choose CD Index to add a CD index at the cursor position.
You can use indices to subdivide a track. For example, in a track that contains an orchestral composition, indices could allow navigation
to each of the movements. Each track on a Red Book audio CD can contain up to 99 indices.
You can use the Previous Track or Index and the Next Track or Index transport buttons to navigate to tracks or indices on the
timeline.
Reading subcodes from a CD
From the Disc menu, choose Read Subcodes to extract the track list (subcode) information from a CD and add it to the Track List
window.
Extracting subcode information can help you verify a newly written CD or create a track list from an existing CD.
1.
From the Disc menu, choose Read Subcodes. The Read Subcode dialog is displayed.
2.
From the Drive drop-down list, choose the drive that contains the disc you want to read.
3.
From the Speed drop-down list, choose the rate at which you want to read subcode information from the disc. If you experience
read errors, decrease the speed.
4.
Select a radio button to choose how the data will be read:
• Select the TOC and CD Text only button to only read the table of contents including CD Text. Neither indices nor pause time
are read, and tracks will be added end-to-end.
• Select the Full disc scan button to read all subcode information, including CD Text, tracks, indices, and pause time.
5.
Select the Include ISRC check box if you want to extract ISRC codes from the disc. Clear the check box to ignore ISRC information.
6.
Select the Include UPC/MCN check box if you want to extract universal product codes/media catalog numbers from the disc.
Universal product code/media catalog number information is updated on the CD tab of the Project Properties dialog.
7.
Click the OK button.
Note:
Not all CD-R drives can read pause times, index markers, ISRC codes, and UPC/MCN information. Check your drive’s
documentation to determine whether your drive supports these features.
Using the Track List window
From the View Menu, choose Track List to toggle the display of the Track List window.
The Track List window is essentially a text representation of the events on the CD layout bar. You can use the Track List window to view
track and index markers, edit track position and length, edit track names, edit pause times, toggle protection and emphasis flags, and
edit ISRC data.
You can also copy, save, and print the contents of the Track List window if you need to provide a track list to a CD duplicator.
Rearranging tracks
1.
Click in the numbered column to select a row.
2.
Drag the row to a new position. The track is moved to the position where you drop it, and the timeline is updated.
