You should be one of the users responding to my post in the CD architect forum titled "Sound Forge CDA poll". There are many users that have posted the same question. The answer right now is to buy "CD Architect 5.0" and spend another $200 for a simple task. My opinion is to put the functionality in Sound Forge just as you're asking.

That said, couldn't you just record your cassette with SF6 as one long track, then split the songs up in SF6 after you've edited them and save them as separate wave files in a folder you created? Then all you need to do burn them to CD using a burning app like Nero or CDCreator. M
Subject:RE: burning cd's with multiple tracks Reply by: Rednroll Date:12/12/2002 3:04:07 PM Yes, you could do it that way. But the key things you're saying is "use an app like nero or Easy CD creator" and "Split them into seperate wave files and save each". So you have to do a lot of editing and saving of each file, which will add a lot of extra time doing 2000 cassettes. You can probably questimate about an xtra 1000 hours worth of time, with that quantity. Then you need to rearrange the order back in another app like Nero......plus the fact...now you need to go out and purchase another app. Hopefully, someone is starting to see the points I've been trying to make. Yes, I agree having a seperate editor program and assembly program is good, if that's YOUR preference of working, but some people just want to do these simple different format transfers and put it on CD. I think it would be great to be able to record a bunch of Cassettes or vinyl into sound forge and dropping markers between songs while recording, then use the Noise reduction plugin within Sound Forge, then burn straight to CD using the markers you dropped when recording in. Why be anti-productive and have to use 2 seperate apps and spend alot of time editing for simple Cassette, 2trk, or Vinyl transfers to CD?
