I think it's even easier than that. Make an AIFF or WAV of the entire album, no gaps (this would be like 650! MB). Then in a waveform editor, chop it up into the different pieces as desired, and save off each one.=20 Now if you use CD-R software like Jam, or even Toast, you can set the pause between tracks to zero (this also depends if your CD-R burner can do this-check the manual). Once you set all the pauses to zero, burn that puppy. You should have a continuous mix that is specific track selectable.= =20 peace Nate PS Like CHe said you could do this with Pro Tools, and I think you can still get a free copy from them. But this should also work in any waveform editor, like SoundEdit 16 or Peak (on the Mac anyway) On Tue, 8 Dec 1998, Che wrote: > At 08:41 PM 12/5/98 +0100, henrik str0mberg wrote: > >well, a sort of idm-related question here... > >i want to mix some tracks together and record it to hard drive before > >burning it to cdr. this will get me a 70 min audio file. how to index th= is > >file so that it writes to cd as several tracks, but still a continuous m= ix? > >(like regular mixed cds, i.e. blechsd=F6ttir, etc) preferably i'd like t= o do > >this without splitting the file into several smaller files. > >=09what software will do this? i use a macintosh. >=20 > You need Digidesign ProTools and Adaptec Jam.
