Publishing Your Project - PRESONUS AudioBox Stereo Quick Start Manual

The Goniometer displays left- versus right-channel amplitude on an X/Y oscilloscope. A
vertical line in the Goniometer represents a mono signal. The horizontal Correlation Meter
compares the amount of in-phase and out-of-phase audio signal in the left and right channels.
The parameters of the Correlation Meter range from +1 (mono signal) to -1 (reversed-phase
mono signal), with 0 indicating the presence of totally independent signals (true stereo).

Publishing Your Project

When your Project has been mastered, the next step is to publish it. The Project page offers
many options, categorized into three main operations, including burning an audio CD, making
a disc-image file, and making audio files.
12.8.1 Burn an Audio CD
You can burn your mastered Project to a standard Red Book audio CD directly from the Project
page. Red Book is the most widely adopted technical standard for audio CDs, and it includes
specifications for minimum and maximum track durations, maximum number of tracks, and
how audio is encoded to the CD. Because the Project page adheres to this standard, you can
be sure your audio CDs will be compatible with almost any CD player.
To burn your Project to an audio CD, click on the Burn CD button at the top of the Project
page. In the Burn CD menu, you can select the device you will use to burn the CD, as well as
the speed of the burning process. In general, using slower speeds in the burning process
reduces the chance for errors.
12.8.2 Burn Options
Several options in the Burn CD menu are intended to prevent common CD-burning errors:
Test Write, Use Burnproof, and Use Temporary Imagefile. These options usually increase the
time it takes to burn a CD in the Project page but they help to prevent wasting time and blank
CDs on failed attempts.
The Test Write option will run tests before attempting to burn the CD in order to be sure the
necessary computer resources are available.
Burnproof is a technology capable of preventing buffer under-run errors with some CD
burners, in which the CD-writing process is interrupted, and the CD writer is forced to stop
burning the CD before it is finished.
The Use Temporary Imagefile option will change the burn process so that an image of the CD
to be burned is created before attempting to burn the CD. This helps to eliminate potential
problems related to data not being made available fast enough while writing to the CD.
