New marker prefix 

Type a prefix in the box if you want to assign a name to new markers. Clear the check box if you do not 
want to include a prefix (if you want to number markers only, for example). 

Use counter and start at 

Select this check box and type a number in the box if you want to number new markers. 

Insert leading zeros in field 

Select this check box and specify a field width if you want to use leading zeros in marker names. For 

width of 

example, if you specify a field width of 3, markers numbered 1 to 99 would be numbered 001 to 099. 

Click the OK button. 

The File Types tab allows you to indicate which types of files you want to associate with Sound Forge software. When file is associated 
with Sound Forge software, you can double-click a sound file in the Windows Explorer and it will open for editing. 

Select a file type from the list. The File association details box near the bottom of the tab displays information about the selected 
file type, as well as the current association. 

Select the check box for each sound file format you want to associate with Sound Forge software, or clear the check box to remove 
a file association. 

Click the OK button. 

The MIDI/Sync tab allows you to specify preferences for MIDI and synchronization.  

Item Description 

Output 

Choose a MIDI device from the drop-down list to specify the MIDI output device for synchronization 
when Generate MIDI Timecode is enabled. 

Input 

Choose a MIDI device from the drop-down list to specify the MIDI input device for synchronization and 
triggering when Trigger from MIDI Timecode is enabled. 

This is the device through which Sound Forge will receive all MIDI triggering and synchronization input, 
including SMPTE/MTC, MIDI triggers, and Regions/Playlist triggers. 

Bound record time on 
record sync 

Use internal timer for SMPTE 
generation 

SMPTE 

When this check box is selected, Sound Forge software will not allow recording beyond the specified 
end time. This ensures that your record length is exact regardless of any inaccurate timecode. 

Select this check box if you want to use the internal timer for SMPTE generation rather than position 
values reported by the sound card driver. Since many sound cards do not report their position 
accurately, it is usually better to use the internal timer for SMPTE generation. 

Choose a value from the Internal timer resolution drop-down list to specify the internal timer accuracy 
used for generating SMPTE. Low values produce more accurate SMPTE generation, but may also 
decrease system performance. 

Use free-wheel for SMPTE loss  

Select this check box to stop playback if the incoming MIDI timecode signal stops. When this check box 
is not selected, Sound Forge playback will continue until the user stops playback manually. 

In the Free-wheel time box, specify the amount of time that Sound Forge playback will continue after 
the incoming MIDI timecode signal stops. If timecode starts again during this time, playback will 
continue. 

In the Free-wheel slack box, specify how fast the software should expect timecode updates before 
going into Free-wheel mode. If you have a fast computer, this value can be set to a lower value if you 
want to stop playback immediately when timecode is interrupted. 

Enable SMPTE playback offset  

Select this check box to specify an offset that will be added to the time displayed in the Sound Forge 
play counter. For example, if you want to generate MIDI timecode starting at 01:00:00:00, instead of 
inserting 1 hour of silence at the beginning of your sound file, you can specify that amount in this box. 

When using Record Sync, you’ll often want to set this value to the Enable MTC/SMPTE Input 
Synchronization Start time. The Sound Forge ruler and play counter will not display this offset.
