Cd-Player / Cd Writer; Cd-Reader; Encoding Audio-Cds - ALCATECH BPM STUDIO 4 PRO User Manual

The CD player / CD-writer provides all functions
necessary to work with CDs. Here, reading in
CDs, and compressing to MP3 for mat is
accomplished. You can also burn titles on CD-Rs
as audio CD to be played with conventional CD
players, or as data CD for back up purposes.
To do so, three different modules are available:
,
, with buttons located in the center
area of the CD player.

3.15.1. CD-Reader (

With this module, also called CD Player, you can
use your CD-ROM drive as fully functional audio
CD player. All functions like Pitch, Master-Speed,
Pitch Bend, Cue-Points, etc. are available without
restrictions. The playback can be routed through
a separate sound card channel, and will be treated
as separate audio channel in the mixer. Also, MP3
files can be played with this player. Simply drag a
title out of a Play List or archive, and drop it on
the CD player; and use it this way conveniently
as Monitor Player!
Whenever an audio track is loaded in
one of the players the CD ROM drive
will be locked. It can be unlocked by
either choosing "Remove" in the
players pop up menu, or by pressing
the eject button.
The Play List and the player module are similar
in structure and handling to the two main players
and the Play Lists.
The CD-Reader also functions as device for
reading in audio CDs, and copying them to hard
drive. Read also in chapter 4 step-by step
instructions for copying, and compressing audio
CDs.

3.15.2. Encoding audio CDs
Generally encoding (compressing into MP3
format) can be done in two different ways. Either
by saving an audio file in WAVE format and later
on conversion or by immediate compression to
MP3 while reading in. This choice is made in the
:
Program Options, on the register tab CDDA-Copy
/ Configuration /
checkbox is marked, copying and encoding will
be done in a one step process. When
compressing large numbers of audio CDs it is
recommended to read all of these in, in high-
speed mode as wave format, and then batch
compress them in Encoder Mode over night, for
example.
The CD Player also supports MP3, and
WAVE formats, thus, it can be used as
third MP3 player, or as convenient
preview player.
