We are upgrading a Dell workstation to burn CD's.
We would like to have something that will make Red Book, Data, and all Sound Forge
5.0/6.0 file types.

It would be internal if possible, and hopefully a CD-RW.
Is there a problem with any new media/storage size?
I have been told that it should be MMC compatible??

P.S. we will be adding MOTU 2408 mkII and MOTU 308 audio interfaces also.

Thanks,
LC

You are out of luck if you are looking to Sound Forge to make red-book CDs! All they offer is track-at-once recording which is NOT red-book standard.

You will have to invest in another program like Nero to do this. But, consider this, Cool Edit Pro 2.0 has red-book standard CD burning as a free option!

Beetlefan is correct, your SOL. And that is why many I talk to are abandaning SF in favor of Cool Edit, Wavelab or other apps that support Redbook burning.
Vegas Video 3 can burn in DAO mode. (I think) Why they put it in Vegas is beyond me.

I think they put it in Vegas Video to create a big, all-in-one package. That means you have to spend some serious $$$ just to burn red-book CD with Sonic Foundry. The fact that Syntrillium can offer a sound editor and multitrack on par with any others, AND red-book CD burning, says to me that SF can do the same for a low price. They just choose not to. Shareholders? Percieved image?

Yeah they could add that feature in Vegas 3.0 LE so everyone would be happy.

The Vegas editing interface is quite similar to the CD Architect interface, as those who have used both products know. It's a natural tie-in from that standpoint. But I still wish for CDA like the rest of us. I find making CDs with Vegas more complex - even down to having to manually add the required 2 seconds of silence at the beginning (Come on guys, it's required. Couldn't you make it automatic or a checkbox in preferences?)

It does automatically insert the 2 seconds of silence, I have not had a problem with this.

Rednroll, What am I doing differently? Is there a software switch or something? I usually get "the 2 second warning."
