Splitting up sets into tracks on Cool Edit Pro 2.0

| I did a search and I couldn't find anything on this subject. I'm recording my sets onto my computer and I'm useing Cool Edit Pro 2.0 to do that. I am wondering how you take say a 75 min long set and split it into individual tracks so it's not just 1 80 minutes long song when you burn it onto cd. I've been trying to figure it out myself, the best I can come up with is highlighting a part of the track and cutting and pasting it into a new session. Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. |

| download this program http://www.litexmedia.com/mp3_mixer/ and use it. It has a 30 day free evaluation, and lets you cut up wav files into segments, and you can choose where they are...burn the wavs disk at once, no 2 seconds, sounds professional like. :p |

Best not to cut it up at all and just burn it in one file with a cue.
e.g.
code:
FILE "C:\YOURFILE.WAV" WAVE
TRACK 01 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
INDEX 01 05:00:00
TRACK 03 AUDIO
INDEX 01 10:00:00
TRACK 04 AUDIO
INDEX 01 15:00:00
TRACK 05 AUDIO
INDEX 01 20:00:00
TRACK 06 AUDIO
INDEX 01 25:00:00
TRACK 07 AUDIO
INDEX 01 30:00:00
TRACK 08 AUDIO
INDEX 01 35:00:00
TRACK 09 AUDIO
INDEX 01 40:00:00
TRACK 10 AUDIO
INDEX 01 45:00:00
TRACK 11 AUDIO
INDEX 01 50:00:00
TRACK 12 AUDIO
INDEX 01 55:00:00
TRACK 13 AUDIO
INDEX 01 60:00:00
TRACK 14 AUDIO
INDEX 01 65:00:00
TRACK 15 AUDIO
INDEX 01 70:00:00
Knock the above in a .txt (or .cue) file and find a burner that supports cues (Nero, CDRWin, etc.) and you're good to go. Just add your filename and track times (remember that it's mm:ss:ff, where f is frames -- there are 75 frames in one second). |

this is sorta covered in another thread...i record my mixes with SoundForge, and when i'm done, i can insert "markers" wherever i want (like zoom in and find the EXACT spot where i want it to cut). once all my markers are placed (make sure you add a marker at the beginning and the end of a mix as well) you "convert markers to regions", then you can "extract regions" and it saves them as separate tracks to your hard drive. then open your Nero Express (came free with a cheapy $20 cdrw i bought) and i added the files and checked the option that says "do not add 2 seconds between tracks" and VOILA!
its actually really easy and i like Soundforge for the sound editing abilities |

Are you able to do this on Cool Edit as well? Because that sounds pretty easy to do. Thanks again for the advice. |

Yes, you can: click on the View menu --> Display Time Format, select Compact Disk 75fps. Click on the Edit menu --> Snapping, select Snap to Ruler (Fine).
Go to the beginning of your set and press F8; this is your first cue point. Now you can set the other cue points be pressing F8 to split the set into individual tracks (don't forget to add a cue point at the very end of your set).
Click on View and select Cue List. You should see a list with the cue points you just set. Select the first one and press Shift+End on your keyboard; all your cue points should now be selected. Then press Merge and select all of them again and press Batch, select Save To Files, select a Destination Directory and set the Output Format to Windows PCM (*.wav). Press the OK button. |

Once you save the file as a .wav, should it appear all cut up then? Because I'm following those steps and its still saving as one file. |

After using Cool Edit since the early 2000's, I never knew this feature existed!
Thank you for shining some light on this for me.
Happy to be able to export slices / cues this easily!
11 years later and this advice is still relevant, I love it. |

11 year Megabump lol.
Cool edit was actually pretty good. It had this great feature for removing noise in a recording - you could select a region (usually a few seconds of silence somewhere in the waveform) and do "analyze noise". It would create an EQ map of the noise. You could then flip the phase on it and apply that EQ map to the whole file.
The process would take less than 5 seconds and was a godsend in my radio producing days when working with very average mics and studios that had been made form converted offices.
Have no idea what Adobe Audition (cooledit's replacement) is like but apparently they still put it out there. |
