16.Easy CD Creator begins recording your Data CD layout to your blank CD-R or CD-RW disc.

•If you are using your hard disc as the source of information, you need not do anything else. You’ll be prompted when recording process is completed. If you have not inserted a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc in your new CD-RW drive, you will be prompted to do so.

•If you are using your CD-ROM drive as the source drive, you may need to swap your original data discs. If you have not inserted a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc in your new CD-RW drive, you will be prompted to do so.

17. A final message box notifies you when recording is complete.

Congratulations! You just recorded your first Data CD using your new Yamaha 3-in-1 CD-RW drive and Adaptec’s Easy CD Creator.

7.3. Making a WAV file from a CD

1.Place an Audio CD on the system’s CD-ROM drive.

2.Open Easy CD Creator.

3.Select a track from the tracks on the Audio Disc Window and drag it down to the recording window.

4.Click on Track on the tool bar.

5.Select Extract to file.

6.Easy CD Creator will display extraction options. Make sure .wav is selected.

7.Double check where you would like the file stored and select a file name.

8.Click on Save.

9.The selected track will be saved as a .wav file on the hard drive.

Before you burn the .wav files to a CD-RW drive, go to the .wav file folder and listen to the tracks off of the hard drive for clicks and other noise. If you hear any noise or clicks, you may have a problem with the CD-ROM drive not having a high enough rate of Digital Audio Extraction (DAE) - see also section 7.1.1.2. on page 36.

The .wav files can now be dragged from the hard drive to the CD layout tab to make a CD-R with your new CD-RW drive without leaving the source CD in your CD-ROM drive.
