Edendude Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 I have an old version of Sound Forge on my PC, and I'm running windows XP. I was trying to bring up some rough mixes of my band in Sound Forge for editing, but it won't open .wma or .cda files. How can I convert to .wav files so I can open these file up for editing in Sound Forge? I generally only use my PC for playback, and have no experience recording with my PC. But it would be nice to be able to play around and edit some rough mixes Sound Forge. Any help appreciated. My Last Band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod S Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Well, if you're talking about cda files, I'm assuming you have those songs on a CD. Put the CD into your CD player, Open SoundForge, go into Tools - Extract Audio from CD. Select the track you want. You will then have the file, which you can edit to taste and save it as .wav, .mp3, or whatever.

Edendude Posted June 21, 2004 Author Share Posted June 21, 2004 Rod... Thanks for your tip, but there is no 'Extract' option under tools in my copy of Sound Forge 4.0. Anything else I might try? My Last Band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whacked Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 They may call it Import instead of extract. If that fails, you can find a convertor that will fit your needs here Download.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Sweet Willie_ Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 You could also visit affiliated EQ magazine forums (also MusicPlayer): Frangioni's Studio Tech or O'Keefe's Project Studio. Even Anderton's SSS forum might be helpful. They are all great resources. Do a search on one or more of those for "sound forge" and then post a new thread. Peace. --SW spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes!

Edendude Posted June 21, 2004 Author Share Posted June 21, 2004 Thanks a whole lot, guys! I downloaded a grabber and a file converter, and now I can import, edit, and convert files to my heart's content with Sound Forge. You guys rule and I dig it da most!
