AUDIO CD SCSI IMPORT
If you have an apple double speed CD ROM and Apple CD ROM software version 5.0 and Sound Manager 3.0 and QuickTime 1.6.1, and Audio CD Access for foreign file access, you can 'Transfer' audio data from normal Audio cd's in your CD ROM drive to an AIFF file on your mac. This is a pure digital data transfer and should give excellent quality. However, on slow macs or fragmented hard drives, glitches or channel swapping may occur. For more reliable and flexible CD recording you should purchase CD Studio™ from Gallery Sortware.

AUDIO RECORDING PAGE
This page allows you to record audio in SDII format from your current sound input device. (if you have sound manager 3.0 and the Digidesign sound driver, you can record from Digidesign hardware by selecting it in the Sound control panel).
It also offers threshold start for recordings. To record normally, just press RECORD. When you are done, to keep the take,  press STOP. If you don’t like what you recorded, press TRASH.
If you keep the take the title will be updated ready for the next take. Sounds will default to be put in the SampleSearch™ application folder. The SAVE AS button allows you to change this.
To perform threshold recording, select the threshold level and press the check box. Now, press RECORD and the light should flash. When an input level greater than the threshold is reached, recording will begin. Again, press STOP or TRASH to end.

To manually record you can also press the pause button which will prime the file ready. This allows faster starting of manual recordings.
Autocrop will automatically top and tail a sound when you press stop. The update button samples your current noise floor.
The trash button can now be used to remake the last take, even after pressing stop. eg. If you record  'sax-0001' , press stop, then press trash, the last will be renamed 'sax-0001~' and you can re-record  'sax-0001' 
Also, if you are presented with 'File Exists, Overwrite', yes will delete the old take, No will rename it as a backup.

NORMALISE SDII
Allows batch normalisation of SDII files to any level, not just maximum.

AUTOCROP™SDII
This performs batch auto top and tail of sounds. It offers a threshold level, and settings for linear fade in and out, pre and post roll and add silence. You may optionally overwrite the original sound, or perform a compositing of the files as they are created (see Composite files)
