Sound Forge cursor position

[Will Hunter]

Hi Ty,
Just an FYI, The response I got from the Sony Support was that the software was designed to place the cursor at the beginning of the session when you go back to record again. This makes no sense to me.
The only way you can save a file (save early save often) is to close the record dialog. But if you reopen the record dialog the cursor will be at the beginning of what you just recorded. I’m curious if other Sound Forge users have the same issue.

Here is the message from Sony Support:

When recording in Multiple takes creating regions mode, I find that the software behaves as expected. Recording successive takes of data and creates a region to identify each take. A new region will be defined every time you click the Stop button. However, I do show that if you stop the recording and exit out of the recording dialogue that the cursor will be present at the beginning of your recorded files. If you should choose to open the recording dialogue again and attempt to record, you will over write your previously recorded data. This would be expected.

The function of Multiple takes creating regions mode is to continue to create new regions whenever the stop button is pressed during your current recording session. By that, I mean that you do not close the recording dialogue window. When that window is closed, Sound Forge will proceed to be ready to edit the files, if you open the recording dialogue again then Sound Forge is waiting to record in that same mode again, but will start recording where ever the cursor is placed.

Will,

Thanks for the detailed response. I guess that’s why I like Pro Tools LE.
