ADOBE AUDITION 1.5
User Guide
Adobe Audition provides two methods for ripping tracks from CDs: using the Open
command and using the Extract Audio From CD command. Using the Open command is
the quickest method and is preferred for ripping entire tracks. Using the Extract Audio
From CD command gives you more control, such as the abilities to rip partial tracks and
specify the ripping process used.
To extract tracks from a CD by using the Open command:
1
Place an audio CD in the computer’s CD-ROM drive.
2
In Edit View, choose File > Open.
3
Choose CD Digital Audio (*.cda) as the file type, and navigate to the computer’s
CD-ROM drive.
4
Select the tracks you want to rip, and click Open.
To extract tracks from a CD by using the Extract Audio From CD command:
1
Place an audio CD in the computer’s CD-ROM drive.
2
In Edit View or CD Project View, choose File > Extract Audio From CD.
3
For Device, choose the drive that contains the audio CD.
4
For Source Selection, do one of the following:
•
Select Track to extract one or more complete CD tracks. A list of all tracks on the CD
appears, along with their lengths stated in Min:Sec:Frame format. (Each second of CD
audio has 75 frames.)
•
Select Time to extract part of a track or a segment of audio that spans multiple tracks.
Enter the beginning frame in the Start box, and the total number of frames you wish to
extract in the Length box. (Each second of CD audio has 75 frames.) The actual start
and length times appear in Min:Sec:Frame format above their respective boxes. The
Range bar provides a graphical representation of how much audio will be extracted and
where the audio appears within the CD. However, if you select only a short bit of audio
to extract, you might not see any change in the Range bar.
The Time option is great for pulling hidden tracks from CDs, as well as for joining
tracks that have been broken up by track indexes (such as performance track CDs and
live albums).
