Breaking a mix into tracks

I have a mix I need to break down into tracks to burn to a cd. Any free programs out there anyone knows of? Thanks.

Just about any cue splitter should work.

Given those probably need a "cue" file, they're not that hard to write.

Here's an example:

quote:

PERFORMER "Lostep" TITLE "Because We Can" FILE "01-lostep_-_because_we_can-boss.mp3" MP3 TRACK 01 AUDIO TITLE "6am Sedna" PERFORMER "Lostep" INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 02 AUDIO TITLE "Theme from a Fairytale" PERFORMER "Lostep" INDEX 01 06:27:07 TRACK 03 AUDIO TITLE "Construction of a Deep Space Station" PERFORMER "Lostep" INDEX 01 13:09:67 TRACK 04 AUDIO TITLE "Naughty" PERFORMER "Lostep" INDEX 01 14:03:33 TRACK 05 AUDIO TITLE "Because We Can" PERFORMER "Lostep" INDEX 01 19:52:64 TRACK 06 AUDIO TITLE "Computer Crash" PERFORMER "Lostep" INDEX 01 26:38:43 TRACK 07 AUDIO TITLE "Little Peaking" PERFORMER "Lostep" INDEX 01 27:05:25 TRACK 08 AUDIO TITLE "Dr Kings Surgery" PERFORMER "Lostep" INDEX 01 35:35:24 TRACK 09 AUDIO TITLE "Shortcut to Granuland" PERFORMER "Lostep" INDEX 01 43:50:21 TRACK 10 AUDIO TITLE "Burma" PERFORMER "Lostep" INDEX 01 49:19:67 TRACK 11 AUDIO TITLE "Villain" PERFORMER "Lostep" INDEX 01 59:54:30 TRACK 12 AUDIO TITLE "Family Tennis" PERFORMER "Lostep" INDEX 01 69:20:65

Thank you.

Audacity's pretty cool too.

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

I just use Nero. Go to track properties then "indexes, limits, split" then manually work out where each new track starts.

When you've split the mix remember to tick the box marked "no pause between tracks".

had such a hard time figuring out how to split tracks with audacity found this little gem enjoy http://www.afterdawn.com/software/v...ue_splitter.cfm

Sure, I will tell you how I did it. I'm sure there is probably an easier way but this will work...

Once the mix is loaded into Soundforge click Special, at the top, and scroll down the menu and click Insert Marker. That will throw a marker at the beginning of the mix to start off the first track. Then you just figure out where you want it to break in the mix to the second track. When you do that, right click the first marker and click Edit. Name it however you want it to show when you have it in a cd player or whatever. For Type, change it to Region. This allows you to separate each section into its own specific section or track. For the initial region you will obviously want to keep Start at 00:00:00.000 but for End you want to input where the first track ends, and once you hit OK, it will throw another marker at the end of the region to seperate it from the mix. Once that is done, click Tools at the top and then select Extract Region. The region that you just created will show up in the box, so when you click Extract it will be exported to wherever you choose to save it.

Now you are going to want to do the same thing for the following tracks. So what you will do is then find the end point for the second track in your mix. To make it easier for myself, I wrote down the end point of the first track to also mark where the second track begins and then when I found out where the second track ends I wrote that down because when you go to edit the marker you will want to type that all in. Just continue doing this until you finish your mix!

Now, I know there has to be a way where you can just make all of the regions first and then export them all at the same time at the end but I couldn't figure it out. Hope this helps and if you get hung up on something feel free to message me. My AIM is QuakeUT. Good luck!
