How do i put in track numbers to a live set...like how do i chop up a 74 min song into many songs?

i assume you're burning it to a CD, right ?

just write down the timecodes where you'd like your tracks to start and then write a .cue file, then burn it with CDRWin ...

I find the .cue file method much faster and easier than chopping up a mix into separate files ...

okay, here's a little .cue tutorial ...

code:
FILE 604.wav WAVE
  TRACK 01 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
  TRACK 02 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 05:56:36
  TRACK 03 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 11:15:04
  TRACK 04 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 17:34:15
  TRACK 05 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 23:27:01
  TRACK 06 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 30:17:62
  TRACK 07 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 37:53:02
  TRACK 08 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 41:39:09
  TRACK 09 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 48:05:60
  TRACK 10 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 54:53:18
  TRACK 11 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 60:59:67

Okay, the first line

FILE filename.wav WAVE

contains the file name relative to the .cue file - if you have it in the same directory just go filename.wav otherwise type the complete path ie. c:\mymusic\mix\filename.wav

All the other lines contain the cue points where you want to have a track marker. The timecode is in format

minute:second:frame

keep in mind that there is 75 frames on a CD (i think) so 74 is the highest value you can use (00 - 74). A good way to find the cue points is to load the mix in CoolEdit and then go
View -> Display Time Format -> Compact Disc
Then just listen to the mix and copy the timecode values in your .cue file. As easy as that.

peace

and if you chop a mix up into separate bits then burn it, you'll get gaps between the tracks. not nice.
