Sound Forge Studio 6 & splitting a .wav file problem -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Sound Forge Studio 6 & splitting a .wav file problem Posted by: ocliw Date:1/18/2003 10:02:31 AM Hi, I bought SFS6 a few months ago and am just now starting to use it. I am trying to split a .wav file into seperate tracks to then be burned to a cd with ECDC5 with DAO. I have 6.0d build 219. I have placed markers where I want the tracks and if I press alt-1, a region list is displayed. However, under the Region List, I do not have a Markers to Region option and I also do not have an Extract Regions option unde the Tools menu. Are these simple options just not available with SFS6? The help file says they should be there. Do I really have to spend $250.00 to upgrade? If I try to display a playlist, it tells me I need to upgrade to SF6. I am thinking I really don't need a playlist the way I think I do but maybe SFS6 is different. I was using a program called Diamond Cut or something like that before and it worked pretty well until I started using XP Pro. I was hoping SFS6 would be a good substitute. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a great weekend!! Mike Day mikeday@socket.net

Double-click between markers to highlight that region, Ctrl-C to copy, Ctrl-E to paste to new file, save that new file, repeat with the next region, etc.

The time savings alone of automatically exporting regions has probably paid back the cost of the upgrade several times over.

Manually exporting the regions is a long time consuming process. I am planning on upgradeing to SF6 this week. Thanks for the input, Chienworks! Mike

Chienworks,
