What software do most DJs use to record their mix tapes?

I am looking for a software that can be used to separate the mix into tracks.

This software

www.scratchlive.net <- click

What do you mean "This software"? You can record your sets with SSL? I just got the program about a month ago... learning new things everyday.. lol

vegas

i'm still using version 2.0 tho
before they became a sony product

Steinberg Wavelab

audacity can separate a single audio file into multiple. and it's free...

I've just started using Audacity and it seems to do everything needed to record/chop up a mix.

I used to use Soundforge and that was great, but i don't want anything too resource hungry now i'm relying on ScratchLive to supply the tunes as well as vinyl.

I use SoundForge 7 or Ableton Live 6. Any of the good softwares out there will work well, its more important to have a good audio interface (I use an M-Audio NRV10) and a balanced input from your mixer. If you have those two things and set levels properly you should be good.

SoundForge 7 will separate a single audio file into tracks based on the markers you place. I think its in the tools menu, click "Markers to regions" and then in the special menu click "Extract regions"

ACID by sony... you can record your mix and place tracks on it and burn it. works great.

Acid comes from Sound Forge and Vegas, if you know how to use those you will love Acid user friendly..

just started using Logic Studio for it
before, audacity.

Ableton Lite

I use a small program called "sound rec" it works with quicktime and it recs a mov file afther i convert it to wav or whatever you wants... it´s cool with my powerbook g4 beacuse don´t take a lot of resources from my computer.

Werd.
And there are also alot of plug ins available if you want to tweak your recording.
It doesn't use much processing power, so it won't mess around with your serato and cause any USB dropouts etc.

Thanks guys... I'm gonna look into some of those programs.
I think that Acid 6 is the best one outta all of them?
I've been told that before....

Thanks again...

quick question. I cant seem to get Acid to recognize my rca to usb cord when I plug it in. Where in the program can I find that option?

if using a mac, i would definitely look into wiretap. just great, and fits on top of your ssl screen perfectly, like it was designed with ssl in mind. wouldn't use any other.

Sony Acid and Soundforge, that's it. I occassionally play with Protools...

Para ambas MAC y Pc, pueden usar el cue splitter es muy facil de usar y perfecto, ahh claro..gratis.

No se van a arrepentir.

Translation

For man and PC i use "cue Splitter" its really easy to use and most importanly its FREE!

You wont regret it!

Cool Edit Pro

Awesome program :)

Cakewalk "Pyro" works great with ONE limitation.. when recording, the file can't be more than 3 hours. Thats not a disk space limitation.. its set in the program code. Means you have to break a 4 + hour set somewhere in the middle of a song. Other than that.. it's great. Easy to use.

^^ Feelin' that

Started with Audacity and switched to my digital audio player with recording capabilites. Now, since my DAP died, I had to switch back to Audacity :(

I use Steinberg Nuendo
