Important Notice:
Although XO Wave will continue to be available for some time,
it will be discontinued as we prepare to bring you the next generation
Digital Audio Workstation.
The new software we are developing is called
Xonami and it will have
many, but not all, of the features of XO Wave.
A discount upgrade path will be available
for users who purchased XO Wave September 1st, 2010.
We realize that
there are few professional CD mastering options with the full range of capabilities offered
by XO Wave, so we will continue to offer the package as long as possible. However,
please keep in mind that as discontinued software:
- This site may not contain up-to-date information.
- Technical Support will be discontinued on November 30th.
For up-to-date information about our upcoming software, please join our
mailing list.
XO Wave: Burn CD Wizard
The Burn CD Wizard walks you through burning a CD from a CD Master. You can
start the Burn CD Wizard from the
Manage Saved CD Masters window
or by selecting File:Burn CD: Burn CD From Master....
It may also appear automatically after you create a CD Master in the
Create CD Master Wizard.
If you do not have any CD Masters to burn, start with the
Create CD Master Wizard documentation
or, for a more comprehensive introduction, our
tutorials.
Using the Burn CD Wizard
 |
Step 1: Introduction |
| The first step of the wizard simply provides an
introduction to the CD burning processes. Read
this and then click Next. |
 |
Step 2: Select Your CD Master |
This step lets you select the master you wish to
burn. You may choose any master associated with
your session.
Note: if you opened the Burn CD
Wizard from the Manage CD
Masters window, or if it has opened
automatically as a result of completing a burn
operation, you have already selected a master,
so this step will not be displayed. |
 |
Step 3: Select CD Burner |
| This step lets you select a CD burner (if you have
more than one) and adjust a few settings that
may improve compatibility with some burners. For
example, you may turn off CD Text and UPC
and ISRC writing if your burner does not
support these features or if you do not require
them. You may also limit the lengths of your
pregaps for increased comparability. A track's
pregap is the (usually silent) time before the track
starts, where the CD time counter displays
negative numbers. If you have extended the
pregaps of any of the tracks on your CD Master,
many CD burners may be unable to burn the disk.
Moreover, Apple has recently reduced its support
for extended pre-gaps, so if you have trouble
burning CDs, you may want to select
Limit Pregaps to 2 Seconds (Most
compatible). Most of the time, you
won't need to adjust anything in this window:
just wait until your drive is found and click
Next. Note that the ability to
write ISRC, UPC, and CD Text data is limited to
XO Wave Pro. |
 |
Step 4: Select Burn Parameters |
| This step lets you select your burn parameters, such as burn
speed. Usually you can simply pick the fastest speed, but some burners
produce better results at lower speeds, while others produce better
results at higher speeds because the laser power is more consistent.
You'll have to experiment with your drive and disks to find out.
You may also want to
reduce your burn speed if, for example, you'll be doing lots
of other things while burning and you want to keep disk and CPU
usage from impacting the rest of the system. |
