Quick Start:
- Start CD
Q-Sheet Converter
- Start CD
Architect. Name and save your project. Use File/Save As… to
create a wave file for your project. Make sure
to use the same name as the project file. Export the PQ List to
the clipboard (PQ List/Copy onto Clipboard…/Cue sheet for replication.)
- Use CD
Q-Sheet Converter to save the CD Wave
compatible cue sheet file in the same directory
you saved the project wave file.
- Start CD
Wave. Select File/Load cue sheet… to open the cue sheet
file. CD Wave will ask if you want to open
the associated wave file. Select Yes. If both files are in the same
directory and named correctly the wave and cue sheet files will load.
- The tracks from the cue file will
be displayed at the bottom of the CD Wave window. Uncheck the box for track 01—VERY IMPORTANT!
- Select File/Save to split
the wave file into tracks and save it as individual wave files.
- Load the split up wave files into
your CD recording program. Your program must support Disc-at-Once
recording with no gap between tracks.
- Record your new CD!
Detailed Instructions:
1. Start CD Q-Sheet Converter.
2. Start CD Architect and load your CD project. Name and save
your project using File/Save.
3. Create a wave file
for your project:
► Select File/Save
As…
► For
Save as type: select CD Image (*.wav)
► Use the same name for the wave file as you did for the
project.
4. Export the PQ List
to the clipboard:
► Select
PQ List/Copy onto Clipboard…
► Choose
Cue sheet for replication (show absolute times) and select OK.
The Include Summary Information checkbox can be checked or unchecked.
► You
may now close CD Architect if you wish.
5. Save the converted
cue sheet file:
► CD Q-Sheet Converter will detect that CD Architect has placed a cue sheet on the clipboard
and the Save button will become enabled.
► Click
the Save button and save the CD Wave cue
sheet to a file. Make certain that you save the cue
sheet file to the same directory where you saved the audio wave file.
This is important because CD Wave looks for the audio wave file in same
directory where the cue file is opened.
6. Start CD Wave.
Split the wave file created with CD Architect into tracks:
► Select
File/Load cue sheet… and open the cue sheet file created with CD Q-Sheet Converter.
► CD Wave will now ask if you want to open the
associated audio wave file. Select Yes. If the cue sheet file was
properly saved to the same directory as the wave file, CD
Wave will open and load the wave information. This may take a few
moments.
► If
CD Wave fails to load the wave file it’s
probably because the wave file is not in the same directory as the cue sheet
file, or, the wave file was named differently than the CD
Architect project file.
► CD Wave will indicate the tracks loaded from the cue
sheet.
► In
the track list at the bottom of the CD Wave window,
uncheck the box for the first track (track 01). This track contains two seconds
of silence inserted into your project by CD Architect.
If you include this track it will appear as track 1 on your final CD and will
simply be two seconds of silence.
► Select
File/Save to split the audio into individual wave files for each track. CD Wave numbers these files sequentially. You may now
close CD Wave.
7. Create your CD:
► Open
your CD recording program. Your software must support Disc-at-Once
recording and must allow you to specify no gaps in between tracks.
► Load
the track files saved by CD Wave. Make sure
that you load them sequentially starting with the file for track 02 (remember
that we discarded track 01 earlier!)
► Record
the CD.
8. Enjoy!
