Okay so I have a full mix that I made myself, one big mp3 file, I want to host it on my website for people to download, and of course I want to make a cue file available as well. The only thing I'm still confused with is the FRAME number. How do I go about obtaining that?

Frame number is not really important. Just round the time to the nearest second. Usually you only see frames in a cue file when the mp3 is ripped from a cd.

Right, the cue sheet should direct your burning software to locate the pc on your computer.


Posted by Spliph on Dec-11-2005 02:50:

hmmm..not working.... already ruined 3 cds...

What I want it to do:

have my mix on cd's to give to ppl..... with a working cuesheet


Posted by Rick D on Dec-19-2005 10:18:

can someone check this for me please, and tell me whether it will work. I usually just use the track splitter in nero, but then i cant get the track names on my cd player.

^^^ yup, it should work...


Posted by Rick D on Dec-19-2005 16:53:

just a bit confused as some of the examples in this thread have 2 index points for each track.

Whats that all about, and do i need to have 2 in my cue file??


Posted by m2j on Dec-19-2005 17:16:

^^^ yea, i dont get those either

but i make my cues the same way u did, with "index 01" and they work fine.


Posted by Rick D on Dec-21-2005 08:45:

i gave up on it in the end, and just used nero's file splitter, works fine, and diaplays track names


Posted by Josue on Feb-09-2006 05:37:

I finally understood the cue sheet and was able to burn a mix with it and works fine. But it only works with CDR-win.

I try using Exact Audio Copy and it just crashes on my bla. I don't know if I want to pay for the CDR-win, anyone know of any other programs I could possibly use??

I've already made Sasha & John Digweed - Northern Exposure - North with cue sheet and also currently making Paul Van Dyk Live @ Energy 10-08-2003. It takes 20 minutes for each one do burn. That sux.

But it feels great to at least know that it works ya know.

Nero Burning Rom works fine with cues.

CDR-Win is the best and easiest for cue sheets. The serial # can be found almost everywhere. Happy hunting.

CUE File Tutorial - Cutting Gaps in Dance Livesets

The problem:

Dance / electronic livesets are continuously mixed, with no audible gaps between tracks. Commercial compilation CD's come with cue gaps imbedded in the CD so you can skip from track to track, again with no audible gaps.

Public domain livesets - unmodified - are all read by the CD players as Track 1: if you hit the skip button, you will always go back to the beginning.

Nobody wants this. Very annoying. Big problem if you are really into downloading public domain livesets, and want to have usable CD's

So:

What is the most efficient way to put the cue gaps in your downloaded sets, and burn them to CD?

Answer:

1 - Place the gaps in the MP3 (or wav) file manually, by choosing where each track ends and the next one begins

2 - Create a CUE file from this information. CUE files (.cue extension) are what a CD burning program will use to burn the gaps onto your CD.

3 - Burn the MP3 / wav onto a CD using the CUE file

Method:

You will need the following programs

1 - MP3DirectCut

Freeware - use this to

a. Go thru your MP3 or wav file, and choose where to put your gaps

b. Create your CUE file


2 - CDR Win or Nero -

Commercial programs - not hard to get - CD burning programs that will allow you to burn the CD with your CUE file information

Install the programs, then ...


Step by Step:

1 - Open MP3 Direct Cut. Open your MP3 or wav file (File, Open)

2 - OK. You will see a visual representation of your file, peaks. You can also play the file and listen as you go through.

Figure this out: play the file, use the buttons to skip through, listen, and look at the waveform to decide where to put your gaps. The first one (beginning of file) is set automatically.

3 - When you find a place where you want to put your gap, click your mouse on the waveform at that exact spot. DO NOT DRAG (keep it a thin blue line) Then click the 'Cut' button on the bottom left of the program.

This will change the blue line to orange. Continue on through your file until you place an orange gap between all of the tracks.

NOTE: MP3 Direct Cut also allows you to modify the ID3 - Artist, Name information.... allows you to fade the file in (get rid of annoying radio announcers) and fade out .... allows you to easily split long MP3 files in half or however many pieces you want. Explore it - it does a lot.

4 - If you are done with the MP3 / wave, do a SAVE AS on this file with a new name (put a CUT at the end of the filename or something ... "my-liveset-CUT.mp3) This is, in case there is a problem and you want to get back to the original to change the gaps.

5 - When you are done with this - go to "Special --> Save Cue Sheet and Edit with Notepad" on the menu

Save this CUE sheet in the same directory as your file! (important)

When it comes up in Notepad, you will see the code for the CUE sheet. Simple stuff.

Make sure the filename at the top reflects the name of your saved file (with the new filename)

You will also see where to type in the Artist / Name, and if you have a setlist, you will see where to put the names of the tracks. (near TITLE).

Careful modifying this file, if you screw it up the burner will error out.. Then save.

Now:

6 - Open CDR-Win or Nero. I will give the tutorial for CDR-WIN

7 - In CDRWin, click on Record CD. Then click Load Cuesheet on the right.

8 - Then click Record CD.

Your liveset will now be cut with the fade-ins, fade outs, inaudible gaps between tracks, and you can skip thru the set just like a commercial CD

In Nero I believe you need to Burn Image, and choose your CUE sheet as the image to burn. Same basic process otherwise.

Hope this helps


This guy right here explains it just nicely.

Split into seperate mp3s, or manually create 3 cue files and 3 mp3s? Can any burning software just burn the middle or end portion of a long mp3 without having to cut it up?


can anyone clear this up for me as well? asot is 2 hours long and the cuesheet times is up to the full 2 hours but copying the first hour is ok but how do i make the 2nd hour fit on another cd without changing the times?

thnks, rich

well thats just a quick hand way of quickly doing a tracklists with time...

if its written like so:
01- Armin - Blue Fear 00:00
02- Tiesto - Traffic 05:33
...

in the mp3cue plugin for winamp tou can right click >> import cue >> instead of the .cue extension select .txt extension

clear as mud

im thinkin of makin a new cue file tutorial cause this one is just too messy for any newbies



my whole winamp just crashes when i do that.

as long as you have the times of each track. Ex..

[57:58 - 62:20]Producer - Track Title..
etc....

Then CD 2 you will have to reset the first track to 00:00 and do the math the rest of the way. I am pretty sure because I had to do that once. There are websites on google that will calculate time differences if needed.
