| i did a search and no luck. i know i'm probably jsut being an idiot, but say i have a 60min mix in my sound forge right now... how do i split it up so you can cycle through it on a CD? do i just highlight the region and bring it into a new document and save it? or is there a more precise way? sorry for the stupid question... |

that's not such a stupid question. Ever since i got verson 7 i couldn't figure that out either. Im used to soundforge 4.5 w/ cd archetect and it seems totally different on newer versons of sound forge.
I ended up cuting parts of my recording and save them as seperate .wav files then i burned them w/ nero or easy cd creator. It works for me, track marks with no pause between tracks. |

| ACiD, if you have it, has that capability built in. |

i dont quite have the money yet, but yeah i am using Sound Forge 7.0 and when i did save it as diff wav files w/ no spaces inbetween, it still has a small glitch on the CD. hope the guy i sent it to doesn't get annoyed by it. |

nero has a built in track cutter.
or, you can get one of those wav/mp3 cutter programs, where you input the times, and click Go.
for mp3's, musiCutter is great. not sure if it cuts wav's though. serach google, im sure there's a free and simple to use wavcutter somewhere. |

true... Acid does have that feature, however it's designed for samples not complete sets. |

| I just split up a new cd last night using sound forge. It's very simple. Open the entire mix. Listen for the first transition. When you find the point which you would like to split it, place the long vertical bar there. Press play a couple times and move the bar around until you find the perfect spot. Then, just go all the way to the beginning of the mix, highlight everything in between. Cut, paste in new, save it -- there's song one. It sounds time consuming, but it really isn't once you begin doing it. It will split the tracks seamlessly and perfectly. Now, just remember to take out the 2 second pauses that cd writing software tries to place by default (that has cost me so many blank cds.....) |

That's already how i do it. i want to know if you can add marks like in older versons of cd archetect. |

and if you read all the thread you will see that he already does that and it still leaves a tiny glitch in between the tracks on the cd (yes it does and it annoys the hell out of me too :whip: )
The best thing you can do is use a CUE SHEET file and a cdr burning program that is compatible with cue files such as CDRWIN.
the best cue file editor/creator I have found is cdrcue.
its really easy just save the audio as one big .wav then open it in cdrcue and create the cuesheet.
ie "add track" then place in the time index where you want this track to start.
NB dont forget to have track 1 to start at 00:00:00.
then save the cue file in the same folder as the audio and when ya go to burn it just load in the cue file and it will burn the audio automatically with the track indexes and the audio flows as smooth as a baby's ass :D |

| And if you do it using what I like to call "the correct way" you don't get any glitches or pauses. Trust me. |

what burning software do you use ?
because no matter how well I cut the tracks in soundforge there is always a small glitch between tracks when they are burnt seperatly. |
