Title: What software...
Post by: blu666z on April 12, 2003, 02:47:45 PM

..does everybody use to do their transfers?  I get it in with Soundforge and track with CDWave.  Anything better?

Why not do it all with CD Wave? For a 16/44.1 recording and in a Windows environment, I don't think there really is any better way just to transfer.

-Matt
P.S. Since you asked what other people do, I record in 24-bit on a Mac laptop, resample and dither over there, then FTP to my PC and track in CD Wave.

I use wavelab exclusively, although I generally track in cdwave.  How do you guys track in wavelab.  If anyone needs said software, get in touch ;)

I use Sound Forge for standard stereo tracks and cool edit pro for multi track mixing...with CD Wave for chopping it up (no program better for this function in my opinion).  

Now on wavelab....can someone who has used that and SF or CE help me understand the benefits of having wavelab?

nick,

i haven't used wavelab yet.....can't wait to get it though!  i have been told that it is the easiest software to use.  this was told to me by people who have used soundforge and samplitude.  

anyway, for wavelab, after you transfer the show to your hard drive the first thing you want to do is go in and resample the set...then lay markers on where you want the tracks, turn the markers into tracks, name the tracks (you don't have to do this, but it makes every disc with the name of each song on it!), then create a cdlayout, save each track individually in a designated folder, then burn!!

the only drawback, if you consider it that, is that it doesn't resample on the fly. i would recommend trying as many software programs out as you can until you find what works best for you...

have fun,
dave

I'd have to say the biggest advantage would be for resampling from high resolutions. Using the apogee algorthyms is sweet. ALso wavelab is nice especially for laptop stuff in the field.
