Here are some tips on configuring CDex for the best performance. You can set these preferences any time you use CDex, but you only have to set them once. CDex will remember and use them until/unless you change them again. A good time to set them is just before step '''B-4''', above. * The time needed to extract audio from a CD can be greatly reduced by disabling Jitter Correction. Jitter Correction is needed on older CD drives to prevent audio glitches (pops and crackling), but many newer CD drives no longer need this correction. * The extraction speed can also be improved by specifying the exact reading speed of your CD drive. Most newer CD drives can read at 52x or faster. * Another helpful option is to set CDex to automatically eject the CD when ripping has been completed. This allows you to do something else while ripping is in progress, and be alerted by the CD drive when it's time to continue with the next step in the Sermon Publisher. '''AS-1. Open the CDex configuration dialog box.''' (a) Just before you begin step '''B-4''', above, open the '''Options''' menu and select '''Settings'''. The '''CDex configuration''' dialog box is displayed. (b) In the '''CDex configuration''' dialog box, select the CD Drive tab. Changed lines 132-136 from:
* By checking the option to "Eject CD when ripping has been completed", you can do something else while ripping is being done, then be alerted by the CD drive when it's ready to continue on to the next step in the Sermon Publisher to:
'''AS-2. Set the configuration options.''' (a) To match CDex with the actual speed of your CD drive, enter the speed in the '''CD Speed''' input field. (b) To instruct CDex to automatically eject your CD when the sermon audio file extraction process has completed, check '''Eject CD when ripping has been completed'''. (c) To disable Jitter Correction, '''un'''check '''Enable Jitter Correction'''. '''AS-2. Continue the extraction process with Step B-4, above.''' Your settings will remain active until/unless you change them again. '''Note:''' These settings apply only to one computer. If you use Sermon Publisher on more than one computer, you may wish to make these CDex configuration changes on each of them. Changed lines 28-29 from:
