Audio Tracks are displayed be the audio view, selected by choosing the
tab.
Currently audio tracks need to have two channels, 16-Bit wide linear samples and a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz. They may be in a raw format if they are located on a read CD or in NeXT's SND or Microsoft's WAVE format if they are located on a harddisc. If a WAVE file includes multiple sounds, only the first one is used.
Format conversions are processed in real-time while playing or writing a track.
Files with the extension .snd and .wav are added by drag'n'drop from the Workspace or pasting one of CDDesigner's tracks. A new track is always added to the end of the list of tracks.
Audio tracks are written in the order displayed in the audio tab. The order is changed by selecting a track with the mouse and dragging it to the new position.
Cut, Copy, Paste and Delete are supported for any track with its source on a harddisc.
Tracks located on a read CD cannot be copied,
is used to remove them.
The attribute inspector allows to play a track. This function plays the track via the local sound device or sound card and opens a panel to display the current state of progress. The Cancel button of this panel is used to stop playing.
The volume slider is available for tracks located on a harddisc. Increasing the volume may cause clippings while writing, so the written CD-R may become unusable. The volume is processed in real-time while playing or writing the track.
