• Using Sequel LE to master the songs and save them to files
On the "Output Effects" page, increase the "Maximizer" effect's "Optimise" parameter. If you set
this parameter to a value close to 100%, the volume and sound pressure will increase, but the
sound will also take on a rough feeling. A value of about 80% should be enough.
On the "Project" menu, click "Export Project as Audio File" to display the dialog box, and then
enter the name of the file in the "File name" box. Set the file name to "Sequel Song", specify the
desktop as the location to save to, and then click "Save".
You'll be returned to the screen that is used to save the audio file, so let's check the parameters.
Confirm that "File Format" is set to "Wave File" and "Export Bits" is set to "16 Bit". We mentioned
this earlier, but these are the settings that correspond to the audio CD format.

When you are ready, click "Save".
The "Sequel Song.wav" file should have been saved to the desktop.
Open this in WaveLab LE 7, and you should see the following waveform:
Perfect! The sound pressure
is about the same as that of
a song from a commercially
available audio CD. It's a
resounding success!
Now you can enjoy listening to this file in an audio player on your computer such as Windows
Media Player or iTunes. You can also transfer the file to a portable music player or burn it to an
audio CD. Purchasing the CI1 means that you receive the included music creation and editing
software programs, which make it easy to obtain a greater level of enjoyment out of your musical
life. Why don't you give it a try?
If iTunes is installed on your computer, "Save to iTunes" becomes enabled on the "Project"
menu, and you can select this command to save a song directly to iTunes.
