The Toast Video CD Support extension must be active to create video CDs. Toast will be launched and the selected tracks will appear in Toast’s audio window. Just select the tracks of interest and click on the Burn CD button.
This only deletes the track designation all the recorded sound remains intact.ĬD SpinDoctor can send its recorded sound files directly to Toast for burning audio CDs. After all tracks are assigned, you can delete the first “track” that includes the entire recording. You can double-click on the “Untitled Track” entry in the track list window to enter the track’s title. Typing Command-D or selecting Define Track from the Tracks menu creates the track. You select a track with the mouse by clicking and dragging to highlight an area. You zoom in on the sound amplitude display window that includes recording time. You may also designate tracks manually, which is my preferred method. This works best when there are a few seconds of silence between tracks and no moments of silence within tracks. Most of these features are intuitive.ĬD SpinDoctor can automatically designate audio tracks while recording.
The circular buttons to the right trigger the following actions: send audio files to Toast, mute the audio input, pop-up a slider to adjust input gain, pop-up a window to select and adjust filters, and pop-up a slider to adjust volume. The two columns of small circles are left and right channel signal strength indicators. You then choose an input source.ĬD SpinDoctor has a vertical group of buttons with standard symbols for record, pause, play, stop, and loop. After launching CD SpinDoctor you need to designate a destination hard drive for the sound files. A reason for using CD SpinDoctor on digital media is when the audio needs to be cleaned-up or filtered. CD SpinDoctor can also record analog sound from disks in your CD or DVD drive. It will accept analog input from RCA ports, the external microphone, and the sound-in port found on some Macintosh computers or audio/video cards. This application lets you record analog sound onto your hard drive. When you are ready to burn a CD, instead of clicking on iTunes’ “Burn” button, just drag the playlist onto the Toast audio window. You can create a playlist of MP3 or AIFF digital recordings in iTunes. You can also use Toast 5 in conjunction with iTunes.
You can drag individual MP3 files to the Toast audio window. Toast automatically converts MP3 files to standard Red Book audio CD format. You can burn new audio CDs from these AIFF files, or convert them to other formats such as QuickTime movies or Sound Designer II files. Another method for creating new CDs from prerecorded audio CDs is to use Toast Audio Extractor to copy audio tracks to your hard drive. When you start to record, Toast will prompt you to reinsert the appropriate audio CDs as needed. If you click on the “Internet” button, Toast will access the FreeDB database and find the titles and track names for your prerecorded audio CDs. A nice feature is “Toast Greatest Hits.” You insert audio CDs into your CD-ROM drive and drag the tracks you wish to record onto the Toast audio window. Toast can create audio CDs from nearly any format: prerecorded audio CDs, MP3 files, other digital sound formats, and from analog sources such as phonographs or tapes.
