Burning CD's

amendegw wrote on 7/19/2004, 1:39 PM

If I drag several audio files from the "Explorer" tab to an audio track I do not get a gap between events, even though my Editing preferences (default time between CD tracks) are set to 2 secs.

This is a problem because... when I invoke "Lay out Audio CD from events", I get only 1 CD track. If I manually move the audio events by 2 secs, the command works fine - but the manual method is a pain in the #%&$.

How do I automatically get the gap between events. Did I explain that clearly?

In Explorer View > R-click the media > Add to Media Pool.

After you've added all the media you want, in Media Pool > R-click the media > Add as CD Track.

You can number them in the Media Pool Comments column then select all the files at once and R-click > Add as CD Track and they will all be added to the T/L in order.

Perfect!

During my experimentation, I actually added these guys to the media pool, but I then selected and dragged them to the audio track - no luck. The key was "Add as a CD track"

Much thanks,

Not necessarily. CDA has a few more features but for quickly burning track(s), I find Vegas to be much easier and a whole lot faster for experimenting with and assembling the track sequence. I use CDA only for the very last stage of a major project and sometimes not even then. Generally, I do everything in Vegas and Sound Forge and if you do a search, you'll see that a lot of other users do the same.
