Re: [ARSCLIST] creating access cd's
Okay, you are on a Mac. Here's what you have to do in Protools:
Divide the files into regions according to how you want the audio CD to
have tracks. Rename the regions if it helps you keep track of them (I
use names like CD1-01 and such). Select the regions you want for each
CD (keeping time limits in mind), go to the region bin on the right of
the edit window, and select "export selected as files" and save each
CDs worth of files in a separate folder. Then drop each folder into
Toast and burn as audio, making sure you use the option of DAO (Disc at
once) so it will play properly in audio players.
One problem with Protools is that it will not burn audio CDs directly.
You have to make separate files for each track on the CDs. With Peak
from Bias-inc you can divide into regions and burn directly within the
application. Used to be in OS 9.1 that you coul;d export region
definitions to the original files, and Jam would see the regions and
burn CDs from your original files, but OS 9.2 and up broke that...
There are many operatng procedures that you need to kep to, such as
never recording to your system drive but rather to external audio only
drives, and so on, so i hoep you are up to speed with that routine too.
Good luck, and ask more if this doen't work for you.

just to clarify:
the problem i am having is getting the cds to contain audio. my cd
players
cannot read the cds. i have a mac 9.2.2 and TOAST 4.1.1. usually, i
only use
TOAST to make preservation copies, which contain the .wav file and some
metadata and whatever gets added in TOAST. so, these cds are not
supposed to
be listenable. the access copies are made on a marantz professional.
to
provide a higher level of service to our users, i was hoping to make
the tracks
in the protools session and simply drop all the files into TOAST, but
this is
not working. is my computer missing some program, or is there a
setting in
TOAST that i must switch? thanks for all the feedback so far.
