track splitting & CD Burning Question

OK. I just finished recording my demo on sound forge. Right now it is recorded as 1 long 60 minute track, like a live set. When I burn it to CD is want it broken up into individual tracks for easy listening. To split it up should i just make cuts in the track through sound forge and save them as individual tracks or is there an easier way.

Also I need to burn the cd so that there is no pause in between tracks so again it flows like a live set. I want the promoters that recieve my cd to be able to listen to the mixes without pauses in between.

thanks.

splittin into tracks

that would be your best bet, to split it up into tracks, but what your gonna wanna do is be able to split them to the hundreth of a second ex: 00.00.00 cause if you can't then you are goin to be able to tell where the split is cause you will he it like a short blip in the sound.

Peace

I record my mixes with cool edit or soundforge than I split directly with nero, so no gaps or "Bops" between to tracks (don't forget to set the gap between tracks to 0 sec)

Gapping

Any application I use- I hear a pop or a slight pause- you
can hear it on them all. I dont know what the problem is.
I have the latest ASPI drivers- XP -
Even when I use a cue file in NERO it still does it.
I have a plextor 40/12/42 - Even did it when I had my
HP 16x. Any suggestions?

My friends demo was split up into tracks and if you listen to it straight through you cant even tell were the splits are. Ill ask him what program he used, i forgot the name of it.

Are you sure you are burning in Disk-at-once mode? Because if you burn in Track-at-Once, even when your pauze is set to 0, you'll get a slight cut on every begin of the track.

Easy CD creator Platinum 5.0 can burn without spaces in between

One simple solution....download a program called "CDRCUE"
with this program, you edit your wave and create what is called a "cue sheet", which pretty much splits tracks without any skips....
Ive been using it for a while and everyone always asks me how to get it to split without the skip.
Its always been a pain in the ass to use the burning programs... trust me, just use this program, it is specifically made for that.

Well i made the first copy of the cd. All the mixes flowed through the cd track changes flawlessly EXCEPT for the first second and last. kind of a piss off as now i have to re cut all the tracks.

Bachatu: Where can i get this cue program, i think thats the answer to my problem.

OK cue sheets are the way to go. The track transitions are perfect, no blips or anything.
