1. If, for instance, you have a sine of 0 dB / 2 second followed by a sine of -6 dB /
2 seconds. This means the global audio material has as much 0 dB material as - 6dB
material: you will see 2 peaks (0 / -6 dB), each at 100%.
2. If, for instance, uou have a sine of 0 dB / 1 second followed by a sine of -6 dB / 3
seconds. This means there are 3 times more -6 dB material than 0 dB material. You
will see a peak of about 33% at 0 dB, and another peak of 100% at -6 dB.
This analysis is useful for learning about how the loudness of your music is distributed.

4.3 Authoring CDs and DVDs
WaveLab provides extensive tools for authoring all types of audio and data CDs or DVDs.
Depending on your connected optical hardware you can burn CD-R, CD-RW and DVD-
R/DVD+R disks. WaveLab allows you to author professional audio CD and DVD-Audio
disks with full control over track indexes, CD-Text, PQ and ISRC/EAN codes etc. You can
validate your disks before burning to make sure they conform to valid CD standards (such
as the Red Book standard) or choose to author using newer formats with CD-Text support
or gapless tracks. When it comes to outputting your final disk you can choose to output
your audio CD as a DDP image or burn it straight to optical media. If you are creating a
DVD-A, you can output to AUDIO TS and VIDEO TS folders or burn a DVD straight from
within WaveLab. You can also burn a data CD or DVD directly from the application or save
them as ISO disk images.
Important note for Mac OSX users
When using the CD-R/DVD-R drive on Apple OSX computers for importing or burning it is
important to note the following. If you insert a optical CD or DVD disk in the drive while the
drive is not selected in WaveLab for import or burning, WaveLab will not be able to "see" the
drive. The disk drive is "taken over" by other applications under Mac OSX and is not seen by
WaveLab when this happens. To avoid this occurring, make sure there is no disk in the drive
when opening any CD window within WaveLab.
Audio CD authoring basics
You can author an audio CD from within both the Audio Files and the Audio Montage
Workspaces. From the Audio Montage Workspace you can additionally create DVD-Audio
disks and you have a more comprehensive set of tools for creating audio CDs and DVDs.
Many of the tools provided in WaveLab also work together in conjunction to enable you to
create your own workflow for audio CD authoring.
