marker points for making CDS

hi new to the forum, will be getting SSL very soon. Really enjoyed reading all your helpful threads etc. Seems like a very resourceful forum. Great to see.

Anyway:

I record these cool compilations of my dj sets onto my HD, using a software sequencer. Normally they are massive .WAV files. Then burn it to CD.


Is there software, to mark loads of points....so when i burn it to cd....i can skip through all the tracks?


i'm a PC XP user.


Thanks very much

hi ezb4u,
do you mix each song into the next? If not then you could do a pause detection and define the tracks that way. But in the more likely scenario that you're going for gradual mixes, your only option is editing the file and bouncing sections to .wavs.

In nero 6 you can load a long audio file into a CD image, and right click it to bring up the nero editor, find and select each section of the file you want to be a single track and in the edit menu you can copy your selection to a file. Then make an audio CD using the resulting files.

Sonic Foundry has a great program "CD Architect" for this.

ya cd architect

sony now owns most of sonic foundry's programs.

In Peak you just put markers where you want CD tracks to start, plus one at the beginning and end of the file. Then you hit 'convert markers to regions' and hit 'burn cd'. Works flawlessly.

Alternatively, you can chop the whole recording into seperate files, and burn them to CD in iTunes (with 'silence between tracks' set to zero).

that's what i do; i can vouch that's one of the quickest ways to do it. the files need to be SD2 tho if you use toast/jam.

Thanks for this. i'm getting a new computer with DVD/CDR burner - don't know if it has nero 6.....

Is PEAK for MAC and PC....is it like a sequencer program like cubase or more like COOL edit???

IS sonic foundry - the same has sound forge? or are they 2 separate programs.

** is I tune - just 4 MAC - i'm a PC user!!?!

thanks 4 your posts, i appreciate your thoughts. 7 days and counting 4 SSL.....can't wait

iTunes runs well on Mac OS X and Windows XP

Is I tunes worth buying then? How much is it?! cheers mate

www.apple.com

answered my own question i think. Downloading itunes from this link.

yeh peak is more like cool edit (now adobe audition i believe) but it's only for mac. sonic foundry is the company that used to make sound forge (the application)--now it's published by sony so it's sony media software sound forge.

Thanks mate.

CD Architect..... i'll look into that option as well.

i downloaded itunes and have it working. And have set it up like
'lo if' kindly suggested.

thanks 'Spin this'

In Peak 4, you no longer have to use toast/jam. You can burn straight from Peak. That's what I do.
