Recording sound from a CD

Post by bsvadlenak »

I am trying to record a song from a CD to the music track. When I record, it picks up the music coming from my pc speakers and any background noise, talking, etc that is occuring. When I turn down my speakers, it records nothing. How do I adjust my settings so it will record directly from the cd to the music track?

Do you have a CD "ripping" program?

I use Exact Audio Copy (free) to extract the CD audio to a wave file. If i need to process or edit the audio, I use Goldwave ($45).

Then you can add the wave file to your video project. (Sorry, I don't remember the exact steps for adding or replacing a soundtrack... (I don't have Video Studio on this machine.)

Recording a song from a CD into Video Studio

If I understand your question correctly, it seems as though you are trying to record a CD into Video Studio using a microphone to record the sound coming from speakers. If this is what you are doing, this is definitely not the way this procedure is accomplished. Consult your owners manual. The instructions are there on how to record a song from a CD directly into Video Studio. There will be no background noise as, in the correct procedure for doing this, the recording is accomplished by direct wire rather than by accoustic means.

1. open the control panel on your computer.
2. Click on Sound and Audio Devices
3. Click Advanced
4. Click on Volume Control
5. Click on Options
6. In the dropdown click on properties
7. Where it says Adjust Volume For click on Recording
8. Make sure you just have the CDplayer selected to record from

While your there check the box to put an icon on your desktop. That will put Volume control icon in your task bar where you can just click on it to bring it up making future changes alot quicker.
