[. . . ] Since the audio is all laid out in a linear fashion for the CD, all we need to do is drop in the track IDs and index IDs. Dropping ID's in theVIP is really as simple as placing the cursor where you want the ID and clicking on the type of ID. (Remember, you place the cursor by clicking in the top half of the audio blocks. ) There are separate buttons for Track ID and Sub-Index ID. There is also an Auto ID function which will place IDs at the beginning of each block of audio. When the IDs are placed, they appear as a tick mark just above the editing screen. There are two rows of numbers which will identify the To move the ID markers, simply click on the tick mark and drag it where ever you wish. If you add or remove markers in between two other established markers, the numbers will update. Recording the Audio CD Now you have your audio edited and processed, and your track numbers are all marked. "On The Fly" means Red Roaster will process everything from your edit screen in real time. "Generate a completely new file" actually creates a disc image on your hard drive before it will burn the CD. In other words, it processes everything and stores that final result on your hard drive, and then records to the CD from the image. Either way, it is important to realize that your original data is untouched by either of these options. There are advantages and disadvantages to each type, depending on the speed of your CPU and the complexity of your project. Burning on the fly saves you a step, but obviously requires more processing horsepower from your computer. If your computer cannot support "Burn on the fly" for your CD, that can be compensated for by slowing the burn speed down to 4x or 2x. Generating the disc image, then burning from the image offers the most reliable option, however extra time is needed to create the image first. The older the computer, the more likely you will need to burn a disc image first, or slow the burn speed down to give the computer more time to process the information. Go ahead and put the disc into the CD player of your choice, and listen to your new masterpiece. You're on CD! EZ CD Creator Tutorial Quick Navigational Tips Using EZ CD Creator is quite simple, and the EZ CD Creator Wizard can walk you through assembling a Data CD without a hitch. For everything else, use the CD Creator Wizard to walk you through the process. The top two frames are for browsing your hard drive, and the bottom two represent the CD you are assembling. You can select data from the top frame, and drag it down to the bottom frame. When the CD is arranged, go ahead and press the Create CD button, or select "Create CD" from the File menu. You will be prompted to select the write speed, and whether you want to run a test burn, actually burn the CD, or both. For the first few CDs you make, we highly recommend doing test burns first. [. . . ] Remember to shut your computer down before changing SCSI IDs or disconnecting SCSI devices. (It must be on at boot-up, or it may not get added to the list properly. 3) If the drive is operating properly as a CD-ROM, but not as a CDR, then check the Device Manager to make sure the SCSI card is properly installed. - If you are trying to extract audio from an audio CD or trying to copy from CD to CD, your CD-ROM must be capable of these functions.
