Using the control panel

The control panel stretches across the bottom of the application window. It consists of three main areas: the media information display on the left, the input panel in the center, and the action area on the right.



Media information display
This example of the media information display shows a 700 MB CD-R is in the destination drive. The picture of the disc shows the amount of space the current project would use. To eject the disc from most drives, click on the eject button at the top left-hand corner.

Media information display
This display includes a visual representation of the disc or hard drive that is the destination for your project. The information presented varies from project to project and is updated when you change discs or destination drives.



Input area
This example of the input area shows a drop-down menu you can use to select the destination drive for your project. If you only have one recorder drive, it will be automatically selected for most projects.

Input area
The input area in the center of the control panel is frequently used to display a menu you can use to select the recorder drive or hard drive location for the active project. If your version of the project launcher includes audio playback, you will find the controls here.



Action area
This example of the action area shows the large button you click to complete your project. The wrench image is the Options button. Click on it to change your program settings.

Action area
On the right side of the control panel is the action area where you will set many projects in motion by clicking an action button. The action button only appears when a project has been selected.
