From the Action drop-down list, choose the method you want the application to use for extracting the CD audio:

• Read by track - Use this option to choose the tracks you want to extract from the CD.

• Read entire disc - Use this option to automatically extracts all tracks on the disc. The entire CD is extracted into one new file in

the Media Pool.

• Read by range - Use this option to extract audio from a specified range of time.

If you chose either the Read by track or Read by range option, specify the track(s) or range to extract:

• For Read by track, click the track(s) you want to extract in the Tracks to read list. Use the Ctrl or Shift keys to select more than

one track. Each track is extracted into a separate file in the Media Pool.

• For Read by range, enter a time in the Range start field and either the Range end or Range length fields. The range of audio is

extracted into one new file in the Media Pool.

Note:

If you want to extract multiple tracks to a single file, choose Read by track from the Action drop-down list to select your tracks,

and then choose Read by range from the Action drop-down list. CD Architect software will automatically insert the appropriate time

range for the tracks you selected and extract the time range to a single file.

Select the Add to timeline check box if you want to automatically add extracted tracks to the timeline. When the checkbox is

cleared, extracted tracks will only be added to the Media Pool tab.

Select the Create tracks from full subcode scan check box if you want to create a CD track for each event that is added to the

timeline. This check box is not available unless the Add to timeline check box is selected.

Note:

When you select the Create tracks from full subcode scan check box, CD Architect software will create your track list based on

the PQ data on the disc. ISRC data is added to each track if the data exists on the disc, and universal code/media catalog number

information is updated on the CD tab of the Project Properties dialog if you extract into an empty project.

Select the Save track regions and index markers to media file check box if you want to embed regions and markers in the

extracted file to mark CD tracks and index positions.

Note:

These markers and regions are not added to the CD Architect timeline, but you can see them in the Trimmer window. If you want to

use these markers to create tracks and indices, right-click an event and choose Create Tracks from Media Regions.

From the Drive drop-down list, choose the drive containing the audio CD from which you want to extract.

From the Speed drop-down list, choose the speed at which you want to extract the audio. If you experience any problems

extracting audio, you can try decreasing the selected speed, or you can click Configure to adjust the Audio extract optimization

setting.

Note:

To eject the CD at any time prior to beginning the extraction process, click the Eject button.
