I'm trying to make recordings from CD (or tape) and I don't seem to be able
to get Cool Edit to capture the audio. It must be some computer
configuration issue. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

There is in Cool Edit Pro (and probably in other versions) under
Options/Device_Order a panel for Recording Devices. The entry really
should be your sound card which means that any problems hearing the CD
should be sound card related rather than Cool Edit.

What are you using, a sound card or a motherboard chip? What is the make
and model?

There are too many variations to make any but the most generic
suggestions. If you can tell us exactly what sound hardware and
operating system you are using, we might be able to offer some-
thing useful.

Adobe consumed Syntrillium several years ago. Where did you
get Cool Edit?

if you are recording from a built in cd player you would be much better off
by 'ripping' the cd using some ripping software
i.e. taking a direct digital copy, it saves the audio passing through the
sound card electronics

I bought Cool Edit from Syntrillium some time ago.
This is an XP Home machine with VIA Technologies Vinyl AC97 on the main
board
The only ripping software that works is MS Media Player which generates .wma
files. I don't know how to open these files in Cool Edit. Does anyone?
I tried Roxio Audio Central in EZ CD Creator 6 package and it stalls the
system - useless.

Thanks,

Try EZ CD creator again, but this time before you do;

Disbale the service named IMAPI CD-Burning COM service.
Reboot.

EZ CD creator should work now. If not, download the free trial version
of Nero at www.nero.com.

What does that mean? What other ripping software have you
tried? How did they fail? This seems very suspicious to me.
There are many ripping applications availabe (many for free)
which rip to WAV.

I don't know how to open these files in Cool Edit.

WMA is a release-only format, it was not made for production.
Suggest sticking with WAV, etc.

It means "what is currently on this machine" ... that's all.

Hmmmm.... so Windows Media Player creates a "release only format" on rip,
eh? That seems a bit contradictory.
I would love to stick to WAV - just need the software to do it.
I'd really like to rip into Cool Edit but somehow it doesn't get the CD
output - while it does get other audio from tapes, etc.

I use the Roxio software much of the time for burning so I don't want to
disable it. What does turning off that COM service do? Anything I'll need
otherwise?

===========================================
You don't rip a CD from its analogical output, but by doing
a computer data transformation to Wav with a specialized
"ripper" like "Exact Audio Copy" or many others.
If you want to "rip" from the output, and the CD is 60 minutes long
it will take 60 minutes of data/analogical + analogical/digital conversions,
with the inconvenience of eventual distortions.

And also a specialized "ripper" will do something of perfect digital to digital in about
2 or 3 minutes instead of 60 minutes

Why does it seem contradicitory to you? WMP is designed
to PLAY audio and video on your computer. Some portable
devices now also support playing WMA files. But no serious
editing applications read WMA because it is "lossy" and is
not suitable as a production format.

I would love to stick to WAV - just need the software to do it.

Go to http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/ and download Exact
Audio Copy (FREE!) It does exactly what you are asking for.
It is not only free, but it operates much faster than real-time.
So you can "rip" a 60 minute CD in maybe 5 minutes. Dunno
how you could beat fast, easy AND free.

That, on his system, that is the only ripping software he has
succeeded with. That's all. Calm down :-)

Like MP3. But that's generally readable.

That service let's the Windows OS act as a CD-ROM burning program. You
can use the Windows Explorer to drag files to the icon representing your
burner. Windows Media player might use the service as well.

even faster, if you use it in the no-security
