VillagerN Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 When I click on any of the 'create CD' options in SonicStage 3.3, the transfer screen comes up blank with no drives.I see in the help it says that depending on your operating environment, it may not be possible to create CDs. Can anyone expand on this? I've got some sort of CDwriter as drive E which works fine with Nero and iTunes, Windows XP Home with SP2...

mercury_in_flames Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 All you do is go to the s.s options, go down to 'creating a cd' and choose the drives you want to use in s,s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillagerN Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Thanks for reply Greg - that's exactly what I had *tried* to do yesterday, but the whole thing was greyed out.However (should have tried it before I loaded), SS now seems fine - drive E shows up, but it DEFINITELY didn't yesterday. Maybe it was something to do with me burning a disc elsewhere while SS was running... Anyway, problem has solved itself!Still interested mind you in what 'operating environments' are unsuitable for creating CDs. Does the help file just mean basically you can't burn a CD unless you have a CD burner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrain Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 the help file just covers it's arse by being vague about problems. i'd say if the drive was in use elsewhere that may be it, but hey at least it's working now right?

Labman Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 When I click on any of the 'create CD' options in SonicStage 3.3, the transfer screen comes up blank with no drives.I see in the help it says that depending on your operating environment, it may not be possible to create CDs. Can anyone expand on this? I've got some sort of CDwriter as drive E which works fine with Nero and iTunes, Windows XP Home with SP2...I've got exactly the same problem, but have not got Nero or iTunes insatlled. SS seems fine importing a CD but refuses to let me burn anything as all the drive settings are greyed out. This is a brand new install of SS3.3 on XP with a TEAC CD writer. The CD writer checks out fine in Windows system etc.Anyone got any other ideas, have other people come across this????Please help.........

mercury_in_flames Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 cant see why it isnt there, you should be able tojust go to the s.s options, go down to 'creating a cd' and choose the drives you want to use in s,s, if that doesnt work then i dunno...

KJ_Palmer Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 SS also doesn't work for my Freecom USB external CD drive at work (all greyed out). Nero and Roxio both work fine with it though. SS3.3 works fine with my built in CD/DVD writer on the laptop at home though, so I can live with it but its a pain. Perhaps a USB attached drive is not the right 'enviroment' for SS... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercury_in_flames Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 I dunno, my sony dvd writer which is external works fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labman Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 The CD writer is an internal drive on my laptop. It worked fine with SS3.0 but doesn't now. Anyone know where I can get ss3.0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
