Pre-recording Audio Tracks to Wave Files

Pre-recording audio tracks to Wave files on your hard drive is a way to:

Minimize swapping CDs in and out of your drive if you want to make more than one copy, or if you have only a CD-Writer Plus drive

Add sound effects to customize any song on the CD (using a third- party sound editor)

Improve the sound quality if your CD recording system is less than optimal

You can pre-record one Wave file at a time. To pre-record a Wave file from an existing CD, follow these steps:

1.Insert the source CD, which contains the song you want to pre-record to your hard drive, into your CD-Writer Plus.

2.Click the Audio CD Layout tab in Easy CD Creator.

3.Select the audio track you want to pre-record from Explorer and drag it into the Audio CD Layout window.

4.Highlight the audio track in the Audio CD Layout window.

5.Select Pre-record to WAV file from the Track menu.

NOTE: Pre-recording audio tracks to Wave files requires approximately 10MB of space on your hard drive for one minute of music.
