Importing audio
Selecting one of the Import Audio CD menu items brings up the following dialog:
To import one or more tracks, proceed as follows:
1. If you have more than one CD drive, select the correct one from the Drives pop-up
menu at the top left.
On opening the CD, the program tries to retrieve the track names from CDDB (a
CD database). If no connection to CDDB can be established or the CD track
names are not found, you can manually change the generic track name in the
Default Name field.
2. Windows only: Activate the “Secure Mode” option if you want to use a Secure
Read mode.
Use this if you encounter problems when trying to import an audio CD. Error
checking and correction will be done during the process. Note that this mode will
take more time.
3. In the Windows version, select the data transfer speed from the Speed pop-up
menu.
While you normally want to use the fastest possible speed, you may have to select
a slower speed for flawless audio extraction.
4. Activate the Copy checkbox for every audio file you want to import.
You can also select a copy section for every file, see below.
5. Click on the Copy button to create a local copy of the audio file(s) or section(s).
The copied files are listed at the bottom of the dialog. By default, imported audio
CD tracks will be stored as Wave files (Windows) or AIFF files (Mac) in the Audio
folder of the current project. To change the folder, click Destination Folder and
select a different folder from the dialog. During copying, the Copy button is labeled
“Stop”; click it to stop the process.
