Note

On the Mac, insert a medium in the drive after opening WaveLab Elements. Otherwise, the drive is under the control of the operating system and is not available for WaveLab Elements.

Eject Optical Medium

Ejects the optical medium present in the selected drive.

Device Information

Opens the Device Information dialog that shows information about the selected device.

Erase Optical Disc

Erases the optical disc present in the selected drive, provided it is a rewritable medium.

Bypass Master Section

If this option is activated, the audio signal is not processed through the Master Section before being written to the medium.

Speed

Allows you to select the writing speed. The highest speed depends on the capabilities of your writing device and the medium present in the device.

Copies

Allows you to enter the number of copies that you want to write.

Test Only, Do Not Write

If this option is activated, clicking OK initiates a simulation of writing the CD. If this test is passed, the real write operation will succeed. If the test fails, try again at a lower writing speed.

Render to Temporary File before Writing

If this option is activated, a disk image is created before writing, which eliminates the risk of buffer underruns. This is useful if your project uses many audio plug-ins while writing. It is activated automatically when writing multiple copies. While this option makes the writing operation longer, it allows you to select an higher writing speed.

CD-Extra Compatible (New Session Possible)

If this option is activated, the resulting audio CD is compatible with the CD-Extra format.

Eject after Completion

If this option is activated, the medium is ejected after the writing operation.
