Hi there and thanks for this great forum.
I think that I read on the forum that programs like nero for CD burning automatically produce a Red Book master. Being quite new to this aspect of recording I'm not totally sure what Red Book does/is. Would it matter if the nero CD was done under "copy CD" or would it have to be selected under "create audio CD" with the tracks added manually? In other words would both methods end up with a Red Book CD?

Thanks

James

"Red Book" is the CD music format specification. Legend has it that it was called "red book" because all the notes on the CD music format were kept in a red folder. There's another standard for CD data which I believe is called "blue book" for similar reasons.

Which method you use is up to you. I suspect all closed session (ie. you can add to the CD later) CD music and CD music & data combined formats conform to re-book. I no expert on this though.

Paavo.
