CD Spin Doctor and audio extraction

I am in the middle of a long project transfering all my old vinyl LPs to CD. Now that the CD Spin Doctor software that came with my Toast does not work with OS7, how can I extract audio from my old vinyl? Is there another software package I can use, or is Roxio going to issue an update that works?
Thanks in advance for any hints, tips and advice.

About Audio and movie recording in QuickTime Player
You can make a movie using QuickTime Player and the camera in your Mac by clicking the File menu and choosing New Movie Recording. When the recording interface appears, the FaceTime or iSight camera becomes active (a green light appears by your Mac's built-in camera). Simply press the circular record button once to start or stop your recording.
Clicking the triangle icon gives you additional options, such as letting you choose whether to use the built-in iSight camera an external camera you've connected to your Mac, and lets you adjust the finished quality of your recording.
To make an audio-only recording, simply choose New Audio Recording from the File menu. Press the circular record button once to start or stop your recording. You will notice that the current running file size is displayed on the bottom right of the controls while you're recording; this changes to the total elapsed time when you stop recording. The sound meter (located at the bottom of the controls) makes it easy to ensure your volume level is consistent, and is helpful for making sure you're sitting an appropriate distance from the microphone. About 21 inches of distance between you and the microphone is a good place to start.
Clicking the triangle gives you additional options, such as letting you choose whether to use the built-in microphone on your Mac, an external microphone you've connected to your Mac, a microphone from a connected Apple display, and lets you adjust the finished quality of your recording.
Tip:  Changing the quality from High to Maximum will produce a very high-quality uncompressed movie file. However, uncompressed audio files can use large amounts of disk space.

  • Problems with Roxio Spin Doctor audio capture

    I recently purchased Roxio Toast Titanium 10, which includes Spin Doctor 6 (version 5.0.4). I am trying to use it to capture audio streaming as described in the Spin Doctor User Guide, but continue to have problems. I have repeatedly contacted Roxio with little success. Most recently they had me provide a copy of my System Profiler file and "escalated" the issue. Only result was that I was told to uninstall and reinstall Toast 10. I did that but the problems persist. Here's my report back to Roxio, which explains the problem. I'm wondering if anyone here has encountered this problem or has suggestions on how to proceed.
    Bottom line is that I cannot capture streamed audio, as Spin Doctor documentation says I should. I'm guessing this has something to do with the Audio Capture Support program within Spin Doctor, but I can't find out what's wrong.
    Here's the description I provided Roxio: +I uninstalled the software and re-installed it per your instructions. Once in Spin Doctor I also installed Audio Capture Support, closed Spin Doctor, and re-opened it. The Start Auto Music Capture button was active. Following the instructions in your Spin Doctor User Guide (page 22) I went selected "start a new recording" and selected various parameters. CDSD Audio Capture was one of the input options. I clicked on the "start" button and immediately got an error message. After that the Auto Music Capture button was no longer active and CDSD audio capture was no longer one of the input options.+

    UPDATE: I again uninstalled everything and reinstalled. I did not install the Auto Capture Support feature in Spin Doctor. I was able to successfully record from an internet stream, saved it, and then started another recording. After the second recording I quit Spin Doctor and re-opened it. Now I have the same problem as before: the Auto Capture button does not work and CDSD is not an input option. Back to the same situation as before. I tried quitting both Toast and Spin Doctor and re-opening them but it didn't make a difference.

  • Can't run Toast 7 Titanium's CD Spin Doctor - please help!

    Hello,
    I don't know if I'm posting in the appropriate forum or not, but here goes...
    I got a LaCie d2 Dual DVD+/_ RW Drive for Christmas, along with a brand new copy of Roxio's Toast 7 Titanium. I recently installed all the driver software and everything seemed to go well.
    However, when I attempted to run the CD Spin Doctor (version 3.0.1), I have run into problems that I cannot explain. I can import audio to my G4 (using my Xitel MD Port I/O USB interface) just fine, but when it comes to editing the waveform, I CAN'T! What I mean is that I can select areas of the waveform, but cannot cut, paste, delete, etc. - anything! Another matter is that at times when I am playing back the file, Spin Doctor will act as it is starting to hang and simply crash.
    When I have been using Spin Doctor, I have kept the number of other running applications to a minimum. I have run Disk Warrior and TechTool Pro v 4 to organize my directories and optomize my HD. I'm running OS 10.3.9 which from what I understand is within the requirements for using Spin Doctor. What Gives?
    Should I trash the preference file (if there is one) and try again, or uninstall and reinstall the app? Is there something more serious going on? I'd rather not have to upgrade to Tiger at this time or buy another audio editing file, yet checking Roxio's support section offered little in the way of shedding light on the situation. I also downloaded Toast 7.0.2 and tried the updated version of Spin Doctor provided with the toast Update without success.
    If anyone else has experienced problems running Spin Doctor, and has found a solution, please let me know. TIA!

    I've had similiar crash problems with Toast/Spin Doctor. Installed Toast 7.0 and upgraded to 7.0.2. Spin Doctor crashes all the time, whether trying to simply playback track (LP source input via INport) or trying to add a track or do just about anything else. I have spent 55 minutes on hold with Roxio (no answer), have sent crash reports to Apple (from whose store I bought this application) and have have had no replies. Since it appears Roxio isn't very good on the rebate side, either, guess they don't care about customers. I'm hoping to return this product to the Apple Store where I bought it. This simple application should be a no-brainer to use but I'm tired of doing QA for substandard tech products. GarageBand doesn't quite do what I need to do so I guess I'll have to move up to Final Cut products. Wish Apple would stop selling products whose makers don't provide decent quality, reliability, and support.
    Anybody solve the crash bug?

  • Crash out of Roxio Spin Doctor Ideas please

    I am using Roxio Spin Doctor with a Griffin iMic to digitise an audio tape. The track(s) is(are) being saved to a Lacie d2 with a firewire link.
    When I edit the single track into Chapters (yes it is a story) the save option is greyed out. I can save to and therefore saved to my desktop to be on the safe side.
    When I clicked the Toast icon to transfer the tracks to Roxio Toast, Spin Doctor crashed and I got the usual crash report window inviting me to log a report to Apple + an error message "error 6515"
    In case the program did not like the file being on the d2 I tried again by using the desktop copy. Same result.
    Dragging the desktop copy in to Toast worked fine but the CD was not separated in to Chapters.
    If any one can tell me what I am doing wrong I would be very grateful as I was hoping to provide the CD for a young child over Christmas.

  • I accepted a recent update for iTunes and now my version of Spin Doctor can't communicate with it any more. I don't think I can upgrade the Spin Doctor without buying a new program.  Is there a way to undo the last iTunes update?

    I accepted a recent update for iTunes and now my version of Spin Doctor can't communicate with iTunes, specifically, I can't get music files to go over to iTunes.  Spin Doctor gives me a message indicating that iTunes isn't working properly.
    I am using iTunes 9.1.1(12) and Spin Doctor 3.1.1.304t.  I have investigated upgrading the Spin Doctor but I think too much time has passed and the version available are too far advanced. 
    Any ideas?  Can I undo the iTunes upgrade?  Is there a website that I can go to to get the upgrade for my Spin Doctor?
    Thanks.
    Mary

    If your iMac is an Intel CPU model, you can upgrade the OS to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    Then use software update to update 10.6 Snow Leopard to OS X 10,6.8.
    Then you can run the latest iTunes to sync your iPad running iOS 6
    You can purchase OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard by calling Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE. Ask for retail software sales and purchase a copy of 10.6 for $19.99 plus shipping.

  • Audio capture support won"t install in CD spin doctoris there something I need to know?

    How do I install audio capture support? I/m getting an error message: The Installation Failed. Does anyone know of a solutioon?

    AFAIK, CD Spin Doctor requires Toast Titanium 9. The latest CE Spin Doctor that works with it is 5.0.4. Once you launch it, the first window that pops up is this.

  • Spin Doctor X and mountain lion

    When trying to capture music with Spin Doctor 10 using mountain lion; my iMac shuts down, anybody have that problem. If so please help

    Hey! Same situation here, went through every possible resource. Wasted my money on Roxio. I bought the Toast Titanium only for Spin Doctor but it keeps knocking the entire system down.
    Very sad to realise that Roxio does not wish to support the product and yet uses it in their marketing campaign for Toast 11.

  • Mac OSX (10.5.6) and CD Spin Doctor

    After I installed Mac OSX (10.5.6), Roxio's CD Spin Doctor started to show corrupted and incomplete waveforms. This problem has been reported several times on MacFixIt.com. I'm not sure if there is a fix to it, or who is responsible: Apple or Roxio. Has anyone on this forum experienced the problem, know of a fix, or the status of a fix??

    When Apple releases an update, it is up to 3rd party vendors to update their wares to work with the new OS. On rare occasions, Apple releases a fix for a specific item, but in general, Apple's updates are for their own OS, and while they do not ignore other software, their primary mission is to fix/update/improve their own software.
    Usually, alert 3rd party SW vendors quickly address any issues created by the update.
    i would check with Roxio, a company who has great street creds for an update or at least a workaround. They have always been one of my favorite vendors.
    Has anyone on this forum experienced the problem, know of a fix, or the status of a fix??

  • Spin Doctor hangs

    After I installed Leopard, Roxio Spin Doctor hangs when I press play to listen to an aiff file. No support from Roxio.... Any ideas? And how can I go back to Tiger, if that's the only way to make Spin Doctor work? Do not know enough about MAC to reinstall Tiger, am afraid I will loose some installed programs or settings....

    I left a bug report with Roxio about this issue. Similar problem for Motion Pictures HD. Roxio is aware of the problems. Until this is fixed, you might have to use another audio editor that is compatible.

  • CD Spin Doctor won't work in Mountain Lion

    Since upgrading to Mountian Lion I cannot get CD Spin Doctor to work. Are there any solutions, or if not is there some alternative software I can use to import LP's to itunes 11

    I went through a multitude of problems with CD Spin Doctor X after upgrading to Lion and subsequently Mountain Lion.  Given the fact that Spin Doctor X does not work with 10.8 I had two solution paths.  One was to partition the hard drive on my Mac mini and put 10.6 on it and use Spin Doctor X that way. The path I chose was to purchase another mac mini on eBay which I got for a steal and use it for Transcription of LPs.  I chose the M-Audio ProFire 610 device to convert my  LPs from analog to digital.  Prpfire 610 is a firewire device and I thought it would solve my problem.  But low and behold Spin Doctor X does not recognize Firewire input signals.  I have an M-audio USB device but my sense is that Spin Doctor X wont recognize that either.  These are serious weaknesses in Roxio Spin Doctor X.  I am not sure Roxio or Corel are the real owners of Spin Doctor X.  It you do an About this Software with Spin Doctor X up you find a reference to Sonic Solutions.  I have ginned up work-around solutions to the limitations of the software.  Staying with older Mac Operatng systems and versions of Spin Doctor X appears to be the only way to go.

  • Noises While Listening AIFF Files In Cd Spin Doctor

    Hello everybody:
    I`m using Toast 9.0.4 in a Mac Mini Intel Core Duo 1.66 Ghz. 2 Gb Ram. Mac OS 10.4.11
    Everytime I capture audio with CD Spin Doctor everything goes fine
    but when I begin to listen it appears noises and interruptions.
    The funny thing is that the file is completely OK if I listen it in
    other applications (iTunes, Digital Performer, Reason even in Toast Titanium)
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I didn't know it was also available as a separate download. I don't know however if I should congratulate you with the purchase after your experience.
    I did all the steps you did and answered 'Yes' to "replace.. etc".
    This is what happened:
    The original file vanished. Not in the Trash or to be found anywhere. Just poof!
    Send to iTunes: same error as you experienced.
    CD Spin Doctor obviously does not load the entire original file, so when it tries to convert to iTunes, it is looking for the vanished file to get the data from.
    The error message however is nonsense.
    Toast doesn't react either, however, it is not greyed out.
    I'm afraid you ran into 2 serious issues.
    In my opinion 'Save Active tracks' should never allow you to overwrite the original file.
    I trashed Toast 7 to force Spin Doctor to look for Toast 6, which is still on my HD.
    I got this message "This application requires Toast 7 Titanium or later to run on your system. The application will now quit."
    Obviously, the bundled version I have, does not work with Toast 6.
    If the stand-alone version of CD Spin Doctor really requires Toast 7, you're out of luck.
    I went to to website to look for requirements to run Spin Doctor 3 and could not find anything about a required Toast version.
    After 'fiddling' around with Toast 6, I got it recognized by Spin Doctor 3 and it worked flawless. If you run into the same trouble with the stand-alone version of Spin doctor 3, I can give you detailed instructions what to do.
    So, you have to convert the double-LP of 'The Boss' again. That's a real bummer. If you can't get Toast 6 recognized, let me know.

  • CD Spin Doctor Failure

    What configuration is needd to use CD Spin Doctor to import and make a recording of a musical cassette tape? Used amplifier, cassette deck, and audio line in as instructed by CD Spin Doctor Recording Assistant. I was unable to hear or record line in input source.
    I'm getting totally frustrated, and disappointed w/ what Apple promotes as a friendly UI.
    Has anyone else experienced similar problems, and were able to successfully record a music track from a cassette tape, and burn to a CD or import to an iTunes playlist, and then to an iPod???

    Hi, why you think this problem began after you removed Roxio, Is it really problem with roxio? did you tested it ?. if not try to reinstall roxio and see if its problem with roxio.
    Because i am also using roxio but i don't see such a file name in my extensions folder.
    Try and get back here, it will help us to find the solution. may be you need to completely remove that from your Mac
    some tips
    01. Application Folder
    02. Preference
    03. application Support
    Try those folders you will find the toast supported files.

  • Super Slow / Choppy Video and Audio / ?

    Hello Helpful Co-Users...
    I am a fairly experienced film editor who has, in the last 2 years, begun working on small projects on iMovie. I am currently finishing up the third part of a three part project, and have come up to a problem I can't solve with any of the solutions I've already found on this forum: this 26-minute project is completely slowing my computer down beyond recognition. While the other two parts have, more or less, run fine (at 30:00 and 45:00) this project has recently begun to <really> slow the system down. Lags, choppiness, spinning wheel, the works.
    I've done a clean re-install of 10.4.3, run Onyx, cleared iMovie bookmarks, cleared my QT Prefs, deleted preferences, run Disk Utility, done the 'Garage Band' trick I learned in this forum, and while these great tips have really got the machine working great otherwise, squeaky clean, this movie just kills.
    Now, HERE's the rub: while the other two projects did use alot of CF/X crops, extracted audio, FX, and transitions, this one uses almost all cropped shots with of audio extraction (it's a sound-heavy piece, and I need reliable cross-fades, and there are lots of slowed down FX as well) that, I'm learning now, is possibly just too heavy of a burden for iMovie. It was working great, but then I just hit a wall. I wade around in the movie for awhile after a fresh restart, and then the wheel starts spinning, and the speed goes down to like
    .1 megahertz. Ouch.
    My question is: have I really hit the wall? Is there a chance that I have a corrupted clip that's slowing everything down (something that was hurting a previous project)? If so, how can I best find this corrupted clip?
    Is there a way to render these clips, FX, crops and transitions–-while still working in iMovie–-to help it run faster?
    Is there a way of salvaging this film, whether by importing it into FCP? Or should I just kill some of the not-completely-necessary audio extractions and re-render the clips?
    I invite your comraderie and expertise...I have a feeling there's something I'm missing that 2 days of diligent searching can't get at...
    Thanks so much: and thanks for all the solutions that previous posts have helped me to uncover...

    Welcome to the forum, Brandon.
    Unfortunately, I don't think anyone has discovered why this slowdown occurs. My guess is -- and it's only a guess -- that lots of extracted audio clips adds to the likelihood of it happening. If so, exporting the audio, then importing it should make the problem go away.
    You would share the project to an AIFF sound file, then import that file back into the project and disable your other audio track. To export, choose File>Share>QuickTime > Expert Settings > Sound to AIFF.
    Not ideal, for it makes the audio harder to edit. But if that's not an issue it might be a workaround.
    This problem appears to be disk-related in some way. Sometimes moving the project to another disk solves the problem. Reformatting the disk has helped too.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1329812#1329812
    You've obviously covered the bases on this. If you discover something that works, please let us know.
    This bug is long overdue for squashing.

  • Problems with CD Spin Doctor (Mac) conversions to iTunes 10.3

    I have been converting all of my old vinyl to CDs for well over a year using CD Spin Doctor 6/Toast 10 to download, filter and edit the tracks.  Then I would "Send All Tracks to iTunes" in MP3 format.  Up until this week, I could play back each track in iTunes (10.3.1) exactly they way I had edited it.
    Now, after the tunes are sent to iTunes and try to play them back, all I hear is the raw, unedited audio for the duration of the edited track time instead of the "correct" audio. 
    I have reinstalled both CD Spin Doctor 6/Toast 10 and iTunes 10.3, but the problem remains.  I want to try to download iTunes 10.2.8(?) for Mac, since I did not have the problem using that version, and I suspect that but I cannot find that old version download for macs. 
    I can hear the proper edited audio in Spin Doctor, but not in iTunes.
    Help!

    I have Titanium 11 and the most recent Spin Doctor - as of yesterday (auto update), and a mb pro with Mountain Lion.
    iTunes (most recent) was working great, no problems. Then I installed Toast Titanium 11 and began using Spin Doctor. The interface is great, and it imported my .aiff files fine....but when I saved my working file as the native Toast format....the file wasn't there! I tried twice - no file! when I save as an .aiff file the file is there but no song separations. Just the long .aiff file. And when I play the tracks the arrow doesn't move but the track keeps playing and I can't pause it, so it keeps going.
    Then I got frustrated and quit SD, I booted iTunes and got the error 'The iTunes library (name) is locked and you don't have the permissions to change the files' or something like that! This didn't happen until I installed Roxio....for only one hour!
    Anyone else??

  • Getting Ripped DVD Video and Audio Into Encore

    Do you have previously authored DVDs that need rework?  Do you want to add menus with greater impact and functionality?  Do you want to add some additional program or supplemental material?  Does a client want their product demo DVD to be updated to reflect the capabilities of the new and improved version, but the source files no longer exist?  Using Adobe Encore DVD and a freeware utility called DVD Decrypter (DVDD), you can accomplish this quickly and easily.
    Disclaimer: I do not support the illegal copying and/or distribution of copyrighted works.  The authors and distributors of the software I use have made it clear that they do not support illegal copying.  This guide is intended solely to assist you in ripping and copying DVD video to which you have the legal rights.  Any use of this guide to infringe the copyright of someone else’s intellectual property is prohibited.
    This guide is based on Adobe Encore DVD 1.5.1 and DVD Decrypter version 3.5.4.0.  Let’s Begin!
    Place the DVD to be ripped in your DVD drive and launch DVDD.  If you have more than one drive (e.g., a DVD-ROM and a DVD burner) make sure the one with the disc is selected in the Source dropdown list in the main program window.  Now we need to set up DVDD to extract video in a way that is “Encore friendly”.  This is the toughest part of the whole exercise.  Click on the Tools menu item and choose “Settings…”. 
    Settings
    General Tab: You can leave these set at their defaults if you like.  Personally, I specify a custom Default Destination.  I put my ripped video assets all in one place anyway, and having a default destination means I have one less thing to do when I rip a DVD.
    IFO Mode Tab: Make sure that “Select Main Movie PGC” and “Enable Stream Processing” are checked.  “Uncheck Suspect Cells” is probably a good default safety check.  If your hard disks are formatted as NTFS, set File Splitting to “None”.  I leave “Copy IFO File” checked with the default sub-items checked.  Make sure that “Patch M2V Timecode” is unchecked.  The items in the Create Additional Files section are purely optional.  The author of DVDD has been kind enough to list which programs need which files; notice that Encore DVD isn’t listed as needing any of these extra files.  I do keep the “Stream Information” box checked.  DVDD generates very informative file names, but I like to keep “Include PGC Number” under File Names checked.  Be advised you will get some lengthy file names after DVDD is finished ripping.
    Stream Processing Tab: Since we enabled stream processing in the IFO Mode tab, we need to tell DVDD how to process those streams.  To save yourself time and confusion later, check the “Convert PCM to WAV” box.  Earlier versions of Encore required a Demuxed audio stream and a Raw video stream.  Encore 1.5.1 can accept either type of video stream (Raw or Demuxed) but it does still require a Demuxed audio stream.  However, I still recommend using Raw video and Demuxed audio, if only because it seems to be somewhat faster to process in DVDD.  This workflow is also backward-compatible with earlier versions of Encore.
    So let’s set up the Stream Processing tab now.  In the Demux box, enter “0x8? 0xA? 0xC?”.  This ensures that all audio streams in the selected PGC, whether AC3, PCM or MPEG will be set to Demux.  In the Raw box, enter “0xE0”.  This ensures that the video from the selected PGC will be set to Raw.  
    Additional Notes about the Stream Processing Tab:
    1. For those of you asking the question, “What the heck is a PGC?” it’s just DVD-speak for the titles in a DVD project.  And I’m not talking about the opening or end credits, either; I’m talking about the titles that result, for example, from the timelines you create in an Encore DVD project.  There is a subtle difference between a PGC and a VTS (title set), but that's not important right now.
    2. Happily, recent versions of DVDD create a WAV file after ripping that will import directly into Encore.  Versions prior to 3.2.0.0 would create a WAV file that had to be imported to, and exported from, a sound editing program like Adobe Audition, Goldwave or SoundForge before Encore would recognize it.
    Events Tab: For convenience sake, I recommend setting “Set Program Mode” in the Startup section to “IFO”.  That way, whenever you launch DVDD, it will look familiar to you.  You may safely ignore all of the other tabs in the Settings dialog. 
    Ripping
    1.Under the Input Tab of the main program window, select the PGC you want to rip.  You can only do one at a time.
    2.Switch to the Stream Processing Tab.  Verify that Enable Stream Processing is checked.
    3.Check or uncheck any or all of the video and audio streams that are listed.  Highlight each one to verify that all audio streams are set to Demux and the video stream is set to Raw.
    4.If you didn’t select Default Destination in the General Settings Tab, then you need to tell DVDD where to put the ripped files now.
    5.Click on the big DVD-to-Disk icon.
    6.DVDD will announce, quite loudly, when it has finished.  At that point you can rename the files or import them as is into Encore.
    I hope you find this guide useful and that it helps you get the most out of your investment in Adobe Encore DVD.

    OK, I can't tell you what we are doing, you'll have to trust me that it's for a very good cause. I'll simplify the use case as an example. If I can do the following we'll be OK:
    1) Read video/audo files from a DVD that we created
    2) Open these files with the QuickTime Player, click on Export to Apple TV to create an output file.
    I'd rather not do an interim conversion of the video data (like use a 3rd party app to convert to mp4 first and then read into QT, but I'm considering a conversion to DV) because that could seriously hurt the apps effectiveness. I also can't use another app (MPEG Streamclip, HandBrake, VisualHub, etc.) to do the conversion.

Maybe you are looking for
