maybe i'm not looking in the right place; however i can't seem to find a software to help with this issue. i have an audio file on a cd that was recorded as one track and i now want to create several audio tracks from it. any suggestions?
I don't know if you're the one who posted in EAc's mailing list. However, here's my answer (quoted from the defunct r3mix FAQ section) : Assuming you want to burn it (and not making MP3s from it) : Free methods : Feurio can let you set tracks into a wav before burning. If you need to zoom vertically in order to see what you're doing accurately, use rather EAC, but it's a bit more complicated : Click tools/process wav. The track 1 must begin exactly at the beginning of the file, therefore, cut unwanted part here if needed. To enable vertical zooming, click display/vertical scale format/automatic range selection. Then click cuesheet/create cuesheet. Move the cursor where you want the next track to begin, and click cuasheet/insert/track start. Repeat the operation for all tracks. Once done click cuesheet/save cuesheet. If your burner is supported, you can burn this cuesheet with EAC, but you can also burn it with Feurio. Nero allows to do it too (no vertical zoom, clumsy cursor handling), Import your wav, right click it, and set the markers. Back into the main window, select all tracks but the first, right click and reset the pause to zero. Use only Nero 5.5.7.8 or newer, previous version has a bug that will cut 1/75th of a second of the end of each track (or each wav ?) Dedicated (and expensive) software : Sonic Foundry SondForge 5 is a wav editor capable of burning CDs Steinberg Wavelab is a very powerful soft that performs multitrack CD mastering. Magix Samplitude producer 6 is a top of the art software for CD mastering. I don't know Wavelab 4, so I don't know if it's better than Samplitude 6.
