Editing track position and length
Double-click the Position, End, and Length boxes and type a new value in the box to edit an event's starting or ending point or length.
Typing a new value in the boxes has the same effect as moving or resizing the CD track in the timeline:
•Editing the Position or End value moves the track forward or backward in time while preserving its length.
•Editing only the Length value changes the track's ending time while preserving its start time.
Editing track title and artist information
Double-click the Title (CD Text) and Artist (CD Text) boxes to edit its contents.
Tip: To burn a valid CD Text disc, you must specify a title for each track on the disc; artist information is optional.
Select the Write CD Text check box on the Burn Disc-at-Once CD dialog to write this data to your disc. In order to display CD Text, your
CD player must support CD Text.
Warning: If the Title (CD Text) field on the Track List window is left blank, a warning will be displayed before burning so you can choose
to write the disc without CD Text or cancel burning and add title information as needed.
Editing pause time
Double-click the Pause box to edit the pause time before a CD track.
Toggling protection and emphasis flags
Select the Prot check box to add a flag to the Q subcode to prevent digital copying of your CD.
Note: In order to use copy protection, the CD player must support the copy-protection flag.
Select the Emph check box to add a pre-emphasis flag to the Q subcode.
Pre-emphasis is a basic noise-reduction process that is implemented by a CD player. Emphasis involves boosting high frequencies
during CD writing and cutting those frequencies during playback. The emphasis process reduces high-frequency noise without
disrupting the natural frequency of the source material.
CD Architect software does not impart the pre-emphasis boost on a track; it can only set the flag. In order for pre-emphasis to occur, the
CD recorder and player must support the flag. Check your CD drive documentation to determine whether your drive supports pre-
emphasis flags.
Editing ISRC codes
The Track List window allows you to specify an ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) that will be used to identify the tracks on
your disc.
ISRC were designed to identify CD tracks. The ISRC code is a 12-character alphanumeric sequence in the following format:
Field A B C D E
Sampl SE T38 86 302 12
e ISRC
Field Description
A Country — Represents the recording's country of origin.
B First Owner — Assigned ID for the producer of the project. Each country has a
board that assigns these codes.
Year of Recording — Represents the year the recording was made.
