Cool Edit Pro: How to record from a CD into Cool Edit Pro.

How to record from CD in Cool Edit or Cool Edit Pro:

1. Make sure you have the correct recording device selected.
2. Choose View/Show CD Player/ to access Cool Edit's CD player controls (you'll see them pop down at the bottom of the main window). Note: You can instead use an external CD player application to control the CD player, but you can only use one such application at a time.
3. Choose /File/New to create a new file. Select the sample type, bit resolution, and number of channels (mono or stereo). Note: "CD quality" recording is 44100 Hz, 16 bit, stereo.
4. Click on the Record button on transport controls to start recording.
5. Click on the Play button on Cool Edit's CD player controls (or other CD application) to start the CD playing. You can also click on the track number in Cool Edit's CD controls to play a specific track.
6. When the recording is complete, click on the Stop button in both Cool Edit's transport controls and on the Stop button in Cool Edit's (or other CD application's) CD player controls.
