The circular buttons to the right trigger the following actions: send audio files to Toast, mute the audio input, pop-up a slider to adjust input gain, pop-up a window to select and adjust filters, and pop-up a slider to adjust volume. The two columns of small circles are left and right channel signal strength indicators. You then choose an input source.ĬD SpinDoctor has a vertical group of buttons with standard symbols for record, pause, play, stop, and loop. After launching CD SpinDoctor you need to designate a destination hard drive for the sound files. A reason for using CD SpinDoctor on digital media is when the audio needs to be cleaned-up or filtered. CD SpinDoctor can also record analog sound from disks in your CD or DVD drive. It will accept analog input from RCA ports, the external microphone, and the sound-in port found on some Macintosh computers or audio/video cards. This application lets you record analog sound onto your hard drive. When you are ready to burn a CD, instead of clicking on iTunes’ “Burn” button, just drag the playlist onto the Toast audio window. You can create a playlist of MP3 or AIFF digital recordings in iTunes. You can also use Toast 5 in conjunction with iTunes. You can drag individual MP3 files to the Toast audio window. Toast automatically converts MP3 files to standard Red Book audio CD format. You can burn new audio CDs from these AIFF files, or convert them to other formats such as QuickTime movies or Sound Designer II files. Another method for creating new CDs from prerecorded audio CDs is to use Toast Audio Extractor to copy audio tracks to your hard drive.
When you start to record, Toast will prompt you to reinsert the appropriate audio CDs as needed. If you click on the “Internet” button, Toast will access the FreeDB database and find the titles and track names for your prerecorded audio CDs. A nice feature is “Toast Greatest Hits.” You insert audio CDs into your CD-ROM drive and drag the tracks you wish to record onto the Toast audio window. Toast can create audio CDs from nearly any format: prerecorded audio CDs, MP3 files, other digital sound formats, and from analog sources such as phonographs or tapes.
