Creating CD tracks from regions in a file

If you have a live recording that uses regions to indicate the sections of the recording, you can use this feature to create tracks without having to scan through the audio and create tracks manually.

1.Add regions as necessary to indicate the tracks in your recording.

2.From the Edit menu, choose Track List, and then choose Create Tracks from Regions. Each region is marked with a CD track.

You can drag CD tracks to rearrange them, drag either end of a track to change its length, or use the Track List window to edit the track’s position or name.

Tip: When you create a track using a media file that includes title and artist metadata, this information will be added to the Track List window as CD Text.

Dragging files to the CD layout bar

Drag a file to the CD layout bar at the bottom of a data window. An indicator is displayed to show you where the track will be added when you release the mouse. When you drop the file, a track is created, and pause time is added before the new track.
