RECORDING, EXTRACTING, AND BURNING CHP. 8
6.
Click OK. Sound Forge begins extracting data from the CD and displays a progress meter.
Previewing CD tracks
In the Extract Audio from CD dialog, select a track and click the Play button to preview a track prior to
extracting it from the CD. To end the preview, click
Stop.
Refreshing the Extract Audio from CD dialog
Click the Refresh button after you insert a new CD in the system’s CD-ROM drive. This allows you to view
the contents of the new CD without closing and reopening the Extract Audio from CD dialog.
Burning CDs
Sound Forge allows you to write audio to CD if your system is configured with a supported CD-R/RW drive
and the necessary drivers. Sound Forge burns CDs using the track-at-once method, meaning that additional
tracks can be added to the CD over a period of time. Once all desired tracks are added, you must close the
CD before it can be played in a consumer CD player. However, once you have closed a CD, you can no
longer add tracks to it.
Correcting the sample rate for CD burning
Sample rates deviating from 44,100 Hz cause CD track lengths to be miscalculated. When attempting to
write a file to CD that deviates from the 44,100 Hz sample rate, Sound Forge prompts you to change the
sample rate. Selecting
Ye s automatically resamples audio to 44,100 Hz.
In addition, you can use the
Resample tool to change the sample rate of a file prior to burning the CD. For
more information, see Resample on page 163.
Writing mono tracks to a CD
If you attempt to write mono audio tracks to a CD, Sound Forge prompts you to create a stereo file by
copying the mono data to both channels.
Adding tracks to a CD
You should always save your audio files prior to writing them to CD.
1.
From the Tools menu, choose Burn Track-at-Once Audio CD. The Burn Track-at-Once Audio CD dialog
appears. The bottom of the dialog displays the length of the current audio file and the amount of time
remaining on the CD currently in the CD-R/RW.
Note:
If there is no CD in the current drive, only the Drive
and Speed drop-down menus and the Close button are
available in this dialog. If you insert a disc or select a different
drive after this dialog appears, it takes a moment for Sound
Forge to recognize the disc and make all options available.
