This will show you whether the info was burnt or not. On that window, hit functions > examine CD-text. The easiest way to check if the data did burn properly is to pop the CD in your drive, open Wavelab again, go to utilities > import audio cd. into each one.ĬD-Text is not read by very many devices other than car players, but it is still important. The next image shows the dialogue you will see at this point, and you may want to take note of the buttons on the right side of the screen that will propagate the info in each field across all tracks in the Montage, saving you from re-typing artist name, etc.

Obviously the band/label should be providing these to you, if they request you to get these for them, check with USISRC or your local agency for info on how to do these, but probably best for the band/label to take care of all that.įor CD-Text, hit the large T for text icon in the CD window as per the following image, again where the floating text is located on screen. You can also insert the ISRC codes automatically and the EAN/UPC. You can leave all these options at default and manually move the waves to butt up against each other in the montage window afterwards if you prefer or if anything you specify here messes this up at all. You can select the pause length between tracks, of course set this to 0 if you want a gapless CD, the next section allows you to set silence before/after markers, etc. The next image shows what you will see after clicking here, I recommend sticking with the default options regarding marker creation, as this will place start and end markers at the start and end of each clip, and lock them to the clips, so if you move the files around to change the gap lengths, etc, the markers will stick to the clip boundaries.
Next we want to click the CD wizard, located as per the following image, where you see the CD wizard floating text dialogue. I also line them up on the one track as per the second image below, in order to more easily align gaps/fades/etc. Next we want to head to the file browser in the top left corner and drag our tracks to the Montage, I prefer to render my files with the track number at the start so they all come into Wavelab in order. Step 1 is creating a new Audio Montage, do this from the floating panel by clicking the button as per the image below, after which you want to select Stereo, CD compatible, 44.1khz from the dialogue box which pops up afterward

If anyone is interested I can go into a more in depth tutorial about fade ins/outs on tracks, crossfading, etc, but for this one I’m just going to show how quick and easy it is to create a duplication ready DDP or physical master with ISRC code, EAN/UPC code and CD text embedded and ready to go. Although, it can be a bit counterintuitive when coming from Cubase if you expect it to work in the same fashion. I personally master in Wavelab, which is pretty straightforward for Cubase users, as it supports VST plugins. This article does not explain audio processing techniques for mastering such as How to make a song louder in mastering, How to use Ozone for mastering, or How to use Multiband Compression. This is a quick how-to for the technical aspects of preparing a master CD in Wavelab. This article has been edited, the original can be found here.
