Is there a way to STOP the record mode when the input signal goes below a specified dB level for a specified period of time? I'm doing lots of Vinal to CD transfers and sometime would like to have the recording stop automatically when the record ends thanks Fred |

Hi Fred, As far as I know, that's not possible. Best, Scott -- Scott R.

By the sounds of it, it seems like you want to be able to hit record and walk away and not have all your hard disk space eaten up when you come back right? You can accomplish this by going to the Record window and selecting "Punch-In (record a specific length) in the drop down menu. Then enter the approximate time that your Vinyl is, in the "Length" field, Hit record and walk away. Sound forge will stop recording when it reaches that particual "length" you entered. Scott R.

Brian, Of course!!!! How Stupid of me. I'd assumed that Punch-in was only useful AFTER I'd recorded and wanted to "punch-in" an alternative. Duh - Many Thanks.

Just my two cents to say I wish that Sound Forge did have a feature to allow the recording to stop when dB's dropped below a certain level. What I'd like to be able to do is simply mic a room and have Sound Forge begin recording whenever dB's go above a certain level and then stop when dB's go below a certain level, with the "trigger" for recording set back on after recording stops. Why? Because I'd like to have the conversations in a certain room recorded, but not have to go back and edit out hours of dead air by hand. Hex www.thefreeside.com P.S. And no, this is not for sneaky or illegal purposes. The microphone would be totally visible. If I'd needed this for sneaky or illegal purposes I would probably have worked harder to find an alternate solution. =) fred holmes wrote: >>Brian, >>Of course!!!! How Stupid of me.

I never use this much, but I believe this is exactyly what the "Auto Trim/Crop" function will do under the "process" window. You set a Threshold and it will do an automatic romoval of silence. You can also do a similar thing using the "Auto Region" function. This is a much safer way of doing things, you never risk chopping off the front of something you wanted recorded.
