got a bunch of hour long DJ mix sets I want to burn to CD but want to break them up in to 5 min tracks, is there a way to do this in Nero (theres an editor but Im too stoopid to figure it out! ) or a program to do this with? halp!

 

 

Very PUNny. You can use the Sound Recorder built into Windows to do it. Simply load the file, play the track, select the time where you want to splice. Save as and your all set

 

i use Kitchen Aid to mix, and Salad Shooter to cut

but sreiously srsly pro tools, but im guessing you dont have that?

 

Pro tools is hella gay. I hate that ****...

Krinkov- you can easily cut down the track in a movie editor as well... the windows sound recorder will work but the quality will be uber ****ty...

 

If you have iTunes, set where the songs start and end and encode for each one once the markers for start and end are set. That's how I chop my loops for ringtones or "mAkin' dA SLaP BeATz yO".

 

As a (non) Filipino, I am (not) offended by your joke (at all).

 

I believe the PUN relates to the usage of "burning" in the title... just my guess.

 

I use Cool Edit 2000 and Adobe Audition here at work...that's what I would use to edit your mixes. Let me know if you want help with this.

Audacity is free and great! Should allow you to do exactly what you're trying to do.

+1. it also works on OSX and Linux.

 

Confucius say, "Humor is like life: It comes and goes in many directions"

 

you can split them up in nero. i believe there's an audio edit function that you can use, set the markers and split for every 5 min. right click on the file, should come up.

why not just make a custom .cue file in notepad and just set your markers there? load it up in nero and there you go. if you want you can just customize your track times and names for cd-text from there.



TITLE "dj mix 3000" (cd-text, enter if u want it to display)
PERFORMER "awesome dj" (cd-text)
FILE "c:\file dir\filename.mp3" MP3 (If it's a .wav file use WAVE)

TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "awesome song" (cd-text)
PERFORMER "awesome artist" (cd-text)
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "awesome song"
PERFORMER "awesome artist"
INDEX 01 00:05:00
TRACK 03 AUDIO
TITLE "awesome song"
PERFORMER "awesome artist"
INDEX 01 00:10:00

and so on

 

thanks guys! I have no idea how to make cue files though it looks like you know what your talking about

I can get to the editor in Nero and have been screwing with it but i cant figure out how to add breaks in the large track. I also downloaded Audacity but it doesnt have any function there either that makes it clear how to do it. Ive tried googling this and come up with nothing, I really thought this would be alot easier haha

 

It's pretty easy with Audacity, but there's a learning curve with any new software. I just found Audacity much easier to get over the curve with than other audio software as it was fairly intuitive.
