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 Yes 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.
