Sound Forge newbie

[Plymouth_rock]

Just installed Audio Studio 9... sole purpose in life (until I get more savvy) is to record from vinyl to CD. In one area of the instructions, it says simply connect the USB cable; on-screen, it says make sure you connect into the sound card. I followed the USB instruction, loaded up a record, found the track I wanted, clicked on record, and chose not to have the turntable hooked up to an amplifier... figured I'd simply record, then save a CD audio quality, and listen to it through Windows Media Player or iTunes... the recording seemed to go well, and showed the audio meter (that horizontal line with the vertical marks), and saved as an AUDIO CD track (purposely chose not to have it stored as a WAV file... went to Media Player, and couldn't hear anything (checked speaker volume settings, etc.)...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Personally, I used to sample through the microphone input & save as a wav. Then you can just burn onto CD if you want to. Have you checked your settings i.e. what channel it records on (meadia and soundforge), playback, what devices it uses etc?

Maybe it's cause you saved as an audio CD track? Try wav at CD quality, IIRC soundforge doesn't play audio CD tracks (although I've got version 4 which is pretty old now)
