Greetings,

I would greatly appreciate any help as I am a premaster CD newbie. I just purchased the software and have a few questions (I'm familiar with peak).

If I have a 74 minute mix of continuous music do I simply select track start at the beginning of each song I want to index (create a new track)? In the end I should end up with about 43 tracks on the final CD with no pauses.

After reading the manual, I'm a little confused as to if I need to do anything else like define regions, in points (dont know what these are), indexes, pq marks or srps. I'm a little lost as to all the above terminology as in peak you had to create a region for each track you want (a much lengthier and annoying process).

Also, I'm not clear as if I should leave dither on or off?

Also, is creating the CD text as simple as typing in the track names or do I need to do more? I don't need a DDP master at the time so I'm simply burning a redbook cd.

I hope the above makes sense. I would definitely appreciate if someone could walk me through the basics. I need to create "tracks" that a cd player will read and cd text

thank you in advance.
