Choosing a recording mode
You can choose any of several recording modes in the Record dialog’s Mode drop-down list. Sound Forge
recording modes include the following:
• Automatic retake (automatically rewind)
• Multiple takes creating Regions - available only in the full version of Sound Forge
• Multiple takes (no Regions)
• Create a new window for each take - available only in the full version of Sound Forge
• Punch-In (record a specific length)
Note: The Record dialog shown above is from
the full version of Sound Forge. If you are
using Sound Forge Studio, not all of the
controls displayed above will be available to
you.
Automatic retake (automatically rewind)
Automatic retake mode is the easiest method of recording. Recording begins at the position displayed in the
Start box when you click the Record button ( ) and continues until you click the Stop button ( ). When
you stop recording, the start position resets to the beginning of the take, allowing for immediate review and
retake.
Note: Automatic retake is the default mode
when recording into an empty data window or
when recording with no data selected in the
current data window.
Multiple takes creating Regions
Multiple takes creating Regions mode allows you to record several takes with each take defining a region in the
Regions List. Recording begins at the position displayed in the
Start box when you click the Record button
( ) and continues until you click the
Stop button ( ). When you stop recording, the stop position
becomes the start position for the next take, which can be recorded immediately. For more information, see
Using the Regions List on page 106.
Multiple takes (no Regions)
Multiple takes (no Regions) mode also allows several takes to be recorded without these takes being defined as
regions. Like the previous mode, recording starts at the position displayed in the
Start box when you click the
Record button ( ) and continues until you click the Stop button ( ). When you stop recording, the stop
position becomes the start position for the next take, which can be recorded immediately.
