Title: JB3/ Soundforge question
Post by: Nomad on January 25, 2005, 03:02:05 PM

So I recorded my first show this weekend and want burn a copy of it at work but the instrucitons are at home. I have the show in My creatives playlist on my cpu. How do I get  Roxio ( I use Nero at home) to recognize the file. Do I need to export the file? I know you cant drag it and it seems only to reside in playlist. If there is a thread you can point me to Im not afraid to teach myself. I tried to search but no luck. Thanks

Using the Creative Playcenter, "transfer" the track form your JB3 to your comp's HD.  Then use Nero however you like.

I'd add an intermediate step (especially if your recording is over 80 minutes long)

transfer the file to your pc and then track it out (or at least cut out the parts you don't want like the 3 minutes of crowd, etc. before the first note) using cdwav (shareware available for free from www.cdwave.com) then burn the wav files you saved from cdwave to cd using roxio/nero/etc.  be sure to burn disk at once and to use the options necessary to delete gaps between tracks.

Ok I figured tranfer has something to do with it but it seemed that I could only transfer back to the JB3. I realize you have to pull up the pc library on the right side (instead of left) and transder to the ha rd drive. Thanks guys. I have a trial version of Soundforge 7.0 that I will start messing with now.

soundforge does not cut on sector boundaries and will thus introduce clicks between tracks.  IMHO there's no better application for splitting up wav files than cdwav.

DNS is correct!!!  Do any and all Soundforge work first, then make your track cuts with CDWave.  This will ensure (insure???  assure???) good track marks.

I also recommend trimming off the first 0.01 and last 0.01 seconds with CDWave to have nice clean ends...

Your lineage should look like this:

JB3>USB (or Firewire)>WAV>SF7.0 (edits, fades, etc...)>CDWave (tracking)>SHN (or FLAC)

Good luck!!!

I dont want to subjuct yall to a new thread so I will ask in this one. Where do you normally set your smooth/enhance on soundforge?  In the middle or does it just depend. Also I didnt have the gain set high enough so would  using the volume feature make it louder like I think it would?

if ya wanna crank the gain a bit, ive always had success w/ normalizing to 0db :)
