-- CUE file tutorial
Pages (8): [1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 »

I know all about cue files, but I do occasionally run into people who dont know a thing about them. (its frightening when i find out about people who burn an 80 minute track cause they didn't know about cue files!!)

I've been thinking of making a cue tutorial, with pictures and stuff. Maybe you could do that, since you've already got a headstart on the written part.

haha

I used to burn 70 min livesets...b4 i knew about cue files.....it sucked and cue files are easy....(now they are)

Correction, there are actually 80 frames per second on a cd. I found this out the hard way when I was compiling my DJ Tiesto live@Gatecrasher 12-16-00 mix... which was eventually stolen by someone on this board who I won't name. But anyways, I kept on getting errors with every track that had 80 for the frame #, but once I changed it 79, it was fine again. So whoever downloaded the "bad" cuefiles for that Tiesto set from www.dancecues.cjb.net, change the lines with 80 for the frame number to 79, and your cue sheet will work alright again... oh yeah, and BOLLOCKS to you whoever stole my credit for those cue sheets.

Tripsy

I have to admit, Im one of those morons that knows nothing about .cue sheets

*sarcoman hides head in shame*

What I gather from the previous posts, is that you use a cue sheet to cut a long set into smaller segments, for playback on CDRs. My question is, do .cue sheets with with all CDR software? and if so, what program to I use to write the .cue sheet, and how do I load it into Adaptec CD Creator 4?

Thanks for any insight

Not sure if cue files work in all progs (I don't think so), but I know that some progs can't handle types of cue files. Like Nero can't handle cue files for mp3 but CDRwin can.

How do you find the frame # if I dont have a seperate program to do it.. Couldn't I just leave it at 0 ?

You could leave it at 0. But this wouldn't allow the start of the track to be exactly on the beat. Not important really, but to some it makes a difference.

Same here. I don't have a clue about cue sheets and it's a real pain. I actually burn livesets as a single track because I don't know otherwise.


PLEASE explain how I use them! I have Nero and Adaptec.

Oh, hey! I've answered my own question by looking around a bit!

Adaptec cannot read .cue files, but Nero can:

Thanks!

nnero always shits up and takes forever to load, and then freezes...

for the FILE command, you can select from WAVE, MP3, AIFF, BINARY, MOTOROLA. it's case sensitive, and it must be in 44.1khz 16-bit stereo format.

more examples...

However, if any file is not an exact multiple of the CDROM sector size (2352 bytes), then the last sector will be automatically padded with zeros. This could result in a gap between tracks with a maximum length of 1/75th second.

begging..

hmm Im shite @ .cue files too, JMF Tracid tried to help me on MSN one day and it did work with Nero and it was an MP3 file.

I still cant remember what i done lol, so if some1 could type up a tute for Nero from scratch then that would be super mint.

all i do is download the cue file , cos i couldnt be assed making it myself, and select 'burn image' in nero, select the cue file and away you go.......

how to cut with cue files?

ok guys

i have been using cue files for burning audio cds,my question is, is there a program to cut into pieces ,mp3 files of a long lets say 76 minutes album using its cue sheet?

ok... i'm retarded when it comes to cue sheets and burning

so i record my demo, i want to burn it and track it without any spaces so it's exactly like the recording

now, treat me like i know nothing (cause i don't know a whole lot) and explain to me what to do (like what burning prog to use, etc.)

thnks

im also very stupid when it comes to .cue files, heck i dont even know how to use them. i have adaptec cd creator and was wondering if they would even work with this program, and if not what other programs and are they for free/dl? if you could explain every thing in great detail that would be awesome cause i read the whole thread and im still confused. thanks for your help

what i dont understand is what about sets that are like 120 minutes long, obviously that wont fit on one cd, so how do i do this?

you will have to split the set up into parts, for example 2 x 60 mins for two cd's or if you just want one cd, then you can cut the 120 min set into one 80 min set to fit onto a cd-r.

there are plenty of programs that will cut mp3's such as mp3splitter (might not work with files larger than 100 megs, at least it didnt when i last used it 2 yrs ago)

even HJ Split will split your large file into an 80 min, you just have to enter the few settings.

as for the cue file, just delete the times that exceed the length of the modified (cut) file. then burn as usual.

if you want to cut out the middle part of the set, well then you'll have to find out the correct cue times and modify the cue file yourself before you burn.

i hope this made sense. any questions, holla at me

>JM<

Good threat guys, just one question, how about like 88min live sets, I've acutally found cue sheets for these and dont know how to burn them, Nero always crashes on me when loading the song, which program should I use to burn them?

Thx

DarkFall01

Yes there is!

It's called musicutter 0.4

Select an mp3 file --> Load the cue sheet --> Next you hit the button "Split now" and it cut's up the original mp3 file in to tracks specified in the cue (don't worry the original file stays intact!).

Now you can just burn the single tracks. Don't forget in Nero to set the pause between tracks at 0 seconds and use disc-at-once to burn the cd.

Ouch!! Time Consumer!!

If you get nero, just set the end index anywhere up to 79 mins (to allow for cd overhead and TOC) then set your start index on the second cd at 79 minutes and work from there.

I don't know if you can set an end index in a cue file, but if you can, it would work similar to the above.

can someone please tell me how 2 do it in nero?
i have made a cue file but it wont open here either! nero crahes all the time
