Topic: Making a mix cd!

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Do anyone know whether or not you can make a mix cd by tracks instead of 1 long mp3/wma cd on vdj? I tried looking for settings but nothing about makeing cd by track to track!! Im tired of holding down ff on my cd player...i wanna just skip over a track!!

u cant... all you can download audacity for free and cut the music before you burn it
 

You can:
go in Record Audio Config and enable the checkbox "split in multiple files", launch your recording and click on the scissors next to RECORD button for separate your tracks.

Alternately, you can enable the checkbox "Auto split on crossfader" to separate your tracks automatically moving the crossfader of VDJ.

@dat_boi_tj
be sure when you are writing here!!
 

I use the scissors also. For me it saves the time of importing into another program.
 

I've found that splitting up a mix into multiple files and then trying to burn it to a CD almost always results in trouble. If you don't do things just right you'll get a gap between each track. I think there's a much easier way.

Record your mix as one big wav file. Then create a cue file for it. The cue file essentially marks where each track in the mix is at. That way there won't be gaps between tracks.

You can create cue files quickly with CDR Cue (nagware as long as your mix is only 10 tracks long) http://www.dcsoft.com/products/cdrcue/
You can burn .cue files with poweriso (also nagware) http://www.poweriso.com/download.htm

This way you don't have to worry about where each track starts and ends while you're mixing, you don't have to worry about cutting it up in audacity, you don't have to worry about burning it correctly, and it will work in even the most ancient of CD players.
 

what if you have an external mixer?
 

You can with an external mixer as well.
Simply changing the field "Record from" from "Master" to "Line IN" and enable "Split in multiple files"
