Making Into Multiple Tracks?

| Ok, I use Soundforge to records my demos I was wondering is there any way I can make it so it doesn't record continuous? That way It can be in tracks,so I don't have to fast forward the whole cd just to hear one part. YOu know what I am saying? |

I have sound forge 6 and unless the batch record has a function for splitting while recording, you're out of luck. If you split the mix after it's all recorded, then yes, it's possible. You could also record with SF's Acid. and save the individual tracks after you manually breakup the long mix.
Look into cool-edit or total recorder. I have no idea, but maybe they do split recording like u want. |

| You could make a .cue file and then get a proggy that splits mp3's based on the cue file... I'm sure there's an easier way though, I'm sure CoolEdit would work. |

Sadly Soundforge doesn't support disk at once burning. So there's no way to make such cd's (continuous music but with skippable tracks).
So either you can get another audio editing program that can do all this (CD architecht from sonicfoundry, Wavelab, Samplitude), or use a cd burning program that can split a long audio stream in separate tracks without audible pauses (nero springs to mind).
You just have to make sure the program supports Disk at Once and not Track at Once (this mode ALWAYS adds the 2s pause between tracks). Then set your cd track markers and make sure the pause between tracks is 0 (the first pause before track 1 always has to be at least 2s).
Either way you need to do it after the actual recording. There's no way the program is able to tell when you are mixing in a new tune (if anyone succeeds to do this, well, congrats big time :D). So you'll have to indicate the splits yourself. |

Easiest way will be to record your long mix or wave file, then create a .cue file and record using a program that supports cue files, like nero or cdrwin.
As for creating cue files, use CDRCUE, it is very simple to do. It supports both mp3 & wave files, which is nice.
By using this program, you can easily tell it where to mark your new tracks.. it creat small markers throughout this wave file, then you open the cue file you saved making the program, and record with your program. |

| Actually, you can do it in Sound Forge. It's not easy, but once you get the hang of it, you can control to the millisecond where each new track begins. I can't explain the exact process off the top of my head, but here is a synopsis. You create a marker where you want each split. Then you convert the markers to regions and export the regions. You end up with a wav file for each track. |

| Ok so let's say I do what you just said. Then I hit record on SOUNDFORGE and start mixing for let's say an hour. I hit stop. Then I close it. And save it in a directory. Your telling me instead of it recording continuous that it will have saved my Demo Mix in multiple WAVS? |

| ! this is hard I do everything then when I save it it just saves as ONE WAV FILE. |

i've done it before. its not hard to do at all. its just a pain in hte arse.
what you do is you hit hte record button and record your set for however long it is.
save your file as a .wav
then go thru it, find where you do the transitions, and cut those sections into individual tracks and save those as .wav files.
so you go thru. find where your first song ends and your second song starts. highlite from the begining of the mix to that part. cut it (ctrl-x) then open a new file, paste it, save it as track01.wav (or whatever). then do the same process for track 2, track 3, track 4 etc.
then open up nero or whatever program you use to burn cds. import each individual .wav file into there. make sure they are all in order and that disc at once is turned on (or whatever thefeature is called that does not put any space between teh tracks). then burn the CD. |

Ok.. Step by Step this is what I do.
1.)I record my set
2.)Then I insert markers.
3.)Then I go to in soundforge special/Region List/markers to regions.
4.)Then I save the file to my desktop. (THAT's whhere the problem is it only saves one WAV!!!! |

ahh yes. thats where your going wrong. the markers are uncessary.
you have to cut each section or track and paste it into a new file then save it as a new .wav
so what you would do after your record
is go to the begining, and highlite from the begining all the way until you want your first song to end and your next track to start.
find that point, then cut the selection from the begining to that point.
then go to file->new then paste the selection
save
then go back to your orig. file.
now the begining of the file should be starting on your second track, where the first track ended (be sure you cut, not copy)
repeate process. |
