If it's continuous program with no gaps, just drop in "Track Start" Marks where you want each track to well... start. Don't forget the "End Mark" at the very end of the last track.

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 wouldn't worry about much of this stuff yet just to burn a simple disk.
In Sonic:
Segments = Regions
In & Out Points are more for advanced editing
SRPs are used much like "Markers" in Pro Tools, to help remember certain points.
PQ Marks are automatically created when you drop in your Start and End Marks.

Also, I'm not clear as if I should leave dither on or off?
|
If Audio Files are 24 bit, then you'll need to use dither when going to a 16 bit disk.

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.

After you've dropped in the Track Marks and checked their placement, bring up the "Mark Info" window. You'll enter the CD-Text there in glorious golden letters. Be sure CD-Text is checked in the "Delivery" preferences, as well as dither and bit depth prefs. PMCD will "bounce" to a DDP image first and then burn a disc.
