Subject:RE: cd burning Reply by: Iacobus Date:11/19/2001 12:03:19 PM If you're using ACID 3 and want to render your project to WAV format, try File>Render As on the menu bar and select, "Wave," under the "Save as type" option. Customize your settings. Burning to CD is pretty simple. You open your project and use Tools>Create CD on the menu bar. (Note that ACID Music and ACID Pro are the only versions of ACID that let you burn directly to CD.) Do not close the CD if you want to burn multiple projects to the CD. Open another project and repeat the process until you're done and then close. Also note that you might have an easier time burning to CD right from ACID if you first bounce down your tracks. ACID has to not only process and convert the tracks of the project (especially the tracks with effects applied to them) but also has to burn the audio data to CD, which uses a lot of system power. If the tracks are first bounced down, the effects will be automatically mixed and ACID will not have to process the effects on the fly when burning and can instead just concentrate on burning. To bounce down, solo the intended tracks and then use CTRL+M on your keyboard. Save the resulting file to a location on your drive. Use the Paint Tool and while holding down CTRL on your keyboard, click at the beginning of the project. Adjust volume/mix as necessary. HTH, Iacobus
Subject:RE: cd burning Reply by: Chienworks Date:11/19/2001 12:09:16 PM I assume writing to CD is an option available only in Acid PRO; i don't have any other versions so i can't check. But under Tools is an option to Create CD. Click on this and it offers to write your current open project as an audio track to an audio CD. This will add another track in "track at once" mode to any existing tracks you have on that disc. There are very few options available (actually none, i believe) and once you click OK you're writing, so be very careful with it. If you wish to use another CD creation program, render your project to a .wav file, 44,100Hz sample rate, 16 bit samples, stereo. This will produce a file with the same parameters as a standard CD audio track. Some software, such as Sonic Foundry's SIREN, allow you to write MP3 files as audio tracks. Most software will also let you write a .wav file in almost any format as an audio track, but by sticking with the standard format you will have fewer compatability problems, no resampling, and faster writing.
