What CD Track Markers Look Like
Once placed, CD track markers appear above the playlist as downward-
pointing triangles, just like normal markers. In the current time location
display's Markers counter, each CD track marker has a "C" to its right.
CD track markers appear in the Locate to Marker window along with the project's other
markers (Page 187). You can identify a CD track marker in this window by its location.
About CD Track Marker Numbering
Each marker in a project—including each CD track marker—is identified by its
number, as described on Page 186. As you add each new marker, it assumes its place in
the project's marker list, and all subsequent markers' numbers go up by one.
If your project contains no other markers, here's how they'll be numbered when you're
creating an audio CD with four selections—we'll use four songs in our example:
Location:
Beginning of Song #1
Beginning of Song #2
Beginning of Song #3
Beginning of Song #4
Obviously, this can be confusing—starting with the second selection, the CD track
number's marker is lower than the CD track's by two. If your project contains other
markers, numbering can become really baffling.
You'll find the process of placing CD track markers much simpler if the numbers of the
CD track markers you place correspond to the numbering of the CD's audio selections.
There are a couple of things you can do to make this happen.
Delete all of the project's other markers
See Page 188 to learn how to delete all project markers—this causes your marker
numbering to start over. If you don't want to lose your markers, make a second copy of
the project (Page 106). Remove the markers—and burn your CD—from the copy.
Place a pair of dummy markers in the first selection
Since your CD burner ignores the VS-2000's normal project markers, you can place two
"dummy" markers somewhere in the middle of the first selection—it doesn't matter
where, as long as they're at least four seconds after the start of the selection and at least
four seconds before its end. These two markers push the remaining CD track marker
numbers back into line with the CD's track numbers. To use our example again:
Location:
Beginning of Song #1
Middle of Song #1
Middle of Song #1
Beginning of Song #2
Beginning of Song #3
Beginning of Song #4
