Subject:Saving selection? Alternative? Posted by: daveress Date:4/17/2002 9:44:52 AM I've been using Sound Forge 5 for about a month, and find myself making music CDs by continuously marking the start and end of a section of a sound file, copying, pasting to new, then saving the new file as a CD track. I was expecting a "Save selection to file" option on either the "Save as..." window or the file menu itself. This is such an obvious need that I must be missing something: Is there an EASIER way to separate out the tracks of a CD, perhaps even without saving to separate files for each track? I didn't find anything about this, either in the manual or the Sound Forge Power! book.

Reply by: SonicTamara Date:4/17/2002 1:27:22 PM When you create a selection in a file, make that selection a region (quickest way to make a region -- press "R" and type a name for the region). Then, once you've marked each track as a region, choose Tools > Extract Regions. This saves each region as a separate file. Hope this helps. :-)

Many other 2-trk editing programs have DAO burning. If SF doesn't include this, I think it would be a marketing blunder... Unless S.F. is no longer interested in the pro-audio market.
