Configuring gap detection

During recording, Sound Forge continually listens for gaps (or drop-outs) that occasionally occur when working with digital audio. Depending upon the gap detection mode, Sound Forge ignores the gap and continues recording, marks the gap and continues recording, or stops recording.

To configure gap detection, right-click the Record dialog, choose Gap Detection from the shortcut menu, and choose the desired gap detection mode (Ignore, Mark, or Stop) from the submenu.

Automatically labeling windows and regions

Sound Forge can automatically name files and regions for you as you record. This automatic labeling feature is particularly useful when recording in Multiple takes creating Regions mode or Create a new window for each take mode. For more information, see Choosing a recording mode on page 119.

Right-click the Record dialog and choose Automatic Labeling from the shortcut menu to access the Automatic Labeling dialog. For more information, see Customizing automatic labeling on page 93.

Changing blinking status

The Recording and Pre-Rollmessages located to the right of the mini-transport bar in the Record dialog can display within a flashing or solid red frame.

To toggle between the blinking status settings, right-click the Record dialog and choose Blinking Status from the shortcut menu. A check mark displays adjacent to the command to indicate that the frame is configured to flash.
