Timed Recording

Settings ranging from 5 minutes to 2 hours are available for your convenience.

Waveform Display:

 

"See" your music

Your recorded or imported audio is displayed visually as an audio waveform.

The waveform can be shrunk to fit everything into a single window or zoomed all the way in to the sample level.

Track definitions are displayed super-imposed upon the waveform so you can see exactly what you are working on and with.

During playback, the waveform's playhead marker, shows you what and where in the waveform playback originates (and you can set the waveform to automatically scroll with the playhead for high zoom factors).

  •  Shrink to fit entire waveform into a single window
  •  Zoom to the sample level.
  •  View and modify track definitions
  •  Playhead shows play location during playback

Tracks:

 

Divide your recording into tracks

That hour long LP you just recorded is actually
8 different songs! Don't dispair.

CD Spin Doctor® 2 provides advanced technology to help you automatically identify and define the individual songs, or as we call them, tracks, from a recording. Or, use the built-in tools and inspectors to precisely define tracks by hand.

Tracks can be defined manually in the waveform display by simply clicking and dragging the mouse. Or, use the two technologies together, have CD Spin Doctor® 2 automatically define the tracks and tweak the results manually as needed.

Track definitions and names are saved along with the audio file, so you can always make additional edits or changes later, and CD Spin Doctor® 2 provides unlimited undo/redo while working with tracks.

  •  Automatically create track definitions
  •  View and modify track definitions manually
