i apologise for dropping the bar on music production
questions here, i was hoping to find a similar ? in the
search.

if i record a long bit into soundforge, what is the best way
to get that into numerous tracks for burning onto a cd
(without any gaps).

thanks.

My favourite method, to insure that there's
absolutely no clicks between tracks, is to go through
the single wav file with some wave editor that displays the
time code in minutes, seconds and cd-frames, noting down the
min/sec/frame for each track start. Then create a cue sheet
for the wave file in notepad and manually put in the index
points.

eg:
FILE "AUDIOFILE.WAV" WAVE
  TRACK 01 AUDIO
    FLAGS DCP
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
  TRACK 02 AUDIO
    FLAGS DCP
    INDEX 01 03:37:74
  TRACK 03 AUDIO
    FLAGS DCP
    INDEX 01 08:45:73
  TRACK 04 AUDIO
    FLAGS DCP
    INDEX 01 12:22:72

and so on for each track. Then burn the wav/cue using
cdrwin.

In pretty much every piece of cd-r software if you use a
method where you split up the file into multiple wavs and
try to burn with "disc at once" method you get clicks
between tracks.

thanks- i thought for sure that a program like soundforge
would give you a simple slider tool to signify a new track,
but apparently this isn't the case. just checked the
website.

i tried cutting and pasting to assemble the files to burn,
but -yeah- still a gap.

wavelab would be better for that sort of thing :)

what pgm are you using to burn?

in every case be sure to set the pause before each track to
0:00s. some programs have this set on 2s automatically.

i use wavelab for this kind of things, works great. you just
insert cd-track boundaries wherever you want and then burn.,

so when you say 'cd-track boundaries' is that a toolbar or a
numerical entry?

PdeT- i just used musicmatch to burn, after converting the
wavs to mp3s. took out the 2 sec gap, but the hitch is
still there.

you drop a marker on the wave, but you can then also set it
exactly with numbers.

usually there's a little silence added when convertin wav to
mp3.

but -> why do you turn them to mp3 before you burn?! you're
talking still about audiocds, right?

yeah, that down't make much sense, does it? i was used to
an older burning software that only read mp3s.
