Subject:poor audio extraction Posted by: whr Date:6/24/2003 5:09:07 PM I use several different sofo products and have the same problem with all of them. When I extract audio from a cd I get glitches. It sounds like a word or note will repeat (echo) over another part. I've used both my CD reader and CD burners to extract and get the same results. I've tried extracting in Sound Forge 5.0, CDA 5.0 and Vegas Video 3c. Can anyone help?
Subject:RE: poor audio extraction Reply by: Geoff_Wood Date:6/24/2003 11:17:19 PM About the only thing that can go wrong with CD exttraction is a dodgy CD-R(OM/W). But the sound effect you describe is pretty weird. Is it continous on all music, or intermittant ? geoff
Subject:RE: poor audio extraction Reply by: whr Date:7/29/2003 10:13:32 AM The problem exists on almost all extractions. If I'm extracting several tracks it gets worse on the later tracks. I also extract 30 to 60 minute speech audio quite often and the problem gets worse the longer the extraction is.

Subject:RE: poor audio extraction Reply by: Sonic Date:7/30/2003 9:33:40 AM Have you tried adjusting the Extract Optimization slider in SF preferences?
Subject:RE: poor audio extraction Reply by: whr Date:7/30/2003 11:35:15 AM I haven't tried that adjustment. I'll give it a shot. I had to reload all of my SoFo products recently because of a crash and have just used the default settings. Thanks. Also concerning a possible faulty CDRW, I have both a writer and a reader and I get the same results with both of them. They are getting a little old and could stand to be replaced though.
Subject:RE: poor audio extraction Reply by: whr Date:7/30/2003 11:46:14 AM My slider was set to "full". I might note here that I experience the same problem in "Acid" "Vegas" and "CD Archetect". If I were to guess I would say that there is something running in the background on my computer that interupts the extraction process, but I haven't been able to find anything. I've run "MSCONFIG" several times to make sure I have a clean startup. I did see something once in a forum about smartmedia causing this type of problem, however, I have not detected any smartmedia files on my computer. I am open to suggestions about how to search deeper for them.
Subject:RE: poor audio extraction Reply by: CalmSaxon Date:8/3/2003 9:14:10 AM It's not exactly the same thing, but... I noticed similar effects when recording [anything] on my old (read: "slow") computer, using SF. It turned out that my problem was a slow processor and little RAM. I'm not sure how the processing works for SF's ripping feature, but I thought I'd throw that out there. Just a thought.
