Amadeus Pro: How to create a CD from a tape or vinyl recording

13.3 How to create a CD from a tape or vinyl recording

It is possible to achieve this without ever leaving Amadeus Pro and without installing any additional software by following these steps:

Record the tape or vinyl to a new document, as explained in Section 4.1. Make sure that the recording is performed in stereo with a sampling rate of 44:1kHz.
Optionally remove any background hiss or cracks as explained in Section 8.
Place markers at the junctions between songs. In most cases, this can be done automatically with the Generate Markers function in the Selection menu. If this doesn’t work (for example in a live recording), you can place them manually. Markers mark the beginning of a track, so that in most instances you would want to place a marker at the very beginning of your file.
Choose Burn to CD from the Sound menu. The top part of this dialog allows you to choose which markers to take into account for splitting the document into tracks. If you wish to create a CD with gapless playback (when there are smooth transitions between songs), you should choose 0 as the gap size. Otherwise, 2 seconds is a standard value. You can create a CD with CD-TEXT information which will then display the name of the currently played song and the title of the album on certain CD players. The title of a song will be given by the name of the marker which marks the start of the song.
You should therefore make sure that there is a marker located at the very beginning of the document as well.
If the document contains songs by different performers, it is possible to store this information within CD-TEXT as well. You should choose either Performer:Title or Title (Performer) in the Markers menu and name your markers accordingly. For example, if your document contains the song Breathe performed by Pink Floyd, you should name the corresponding marker either Pink Floyd: Breathe or Breathe (Pink Floyd) depending on which naming convention you choose.
You can also write a media catalog number to the Audio CD. If you don’t know what this is, then you will certainly not need this and you can safely ignore this option.
After clicking [OK], the standard system CD burning dialog will give you the choice of which CD burner to use and at which speed to burn the CD. Insert a blank disk and hit [OK] again. You are done.

Important: Before you can burn an Amadeus Pro document to CD, you need to make sure that it consists of a single stereo track and that its quality is 16 Bit / 44.1 kHz. If it consists of more than one track, please use the Flatten Document function from the Sound menu in order to combine the tracks into one. If the quality is different from 16 Bit / 44.1 kHz, use the Characteristics function from the Sound menu to adjust it.
