Track Marking a mix

Make sure that between track marks the silence setting in Nero is set to 0 seconds. Or make a cue file liek Aza has done on his new site... not sure how they work though you'll have to ask him.

Go on to any of my mixes mate (most of em have a cue anyways), download the cue file, open it in notepad, use what I have as a template and edit as you wish. You will see the structure etc as it's quite logical, make sure your mix and cue are placed in the same folder though.

Alternatively, do a web search on google on this and there is a lot of help out there, which I how I managed to pull em off :)

Hope this helps you.

When i used to split up my mixes i did it in such an elongated way lol

I used to save my mixes in .wav files when recording them so i used CD Wave Editor (www.cdwave.com) to split them. This software also allows you to encode them to MP3 when saving the tracks. Its a cool app and im going to use it right now to split a set for my fwend :)

I don't usually bother being as the mojority of my mixes are recorded as a radio show & are in definition one single track.

Some recording programs can split the tracks when saving the mix (Polderbit does this), then you can save them as one or individually so that if you play the tracks on a PC or a car stereo with mp3 it will display the track name individually

I have opened one of my cue sheet files for you. Simply substitute everything relative to your mix, e.g. performer is you, the name of your mix - no spaces and include the file type i.e. mp3 or wav.

Where you want each track on your mix to be split use the template of the tracks too with their title and index split.

PERFORMER "Aza"
TITLE "Ultimate Top 10 2003"
FILE "ultimate_trance_top_10_2003-mixed_by_aza.mp3" MP3
 TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "Nothing But You"
PERFORMER "Paul Van Dyk feat. Hemstock & Jennings"
INDEX 00 00:00:00

PERFORMER "State One"
INDEX 00 03:49:41

Do all of this in notepad, and save your file as the same name as your mix, but with the .cue extension.

If you can get hold of a copy of cool edit, there is a handy track mark tool in the program and CD burning plugin. I use cool edit to record my mixes, then set makers along the wave file. I then convert the markers to track marks and burn the mix to CD with cool edit's cd burning plugin. Works great every time. Cool edit is now adobe audition which is almost identical.

Without sounding silly, when you have your perfect .cue file, what do you do with it then? Do you just have 1 massive mp3 file with it and then burn? How do normal CD players interpret it??

you place the mp3 or wave in a folder along with cue sheet.

Use a mounting programme (typically nero) and the cue burns the file to an audio cd.

Cd players interpret the disc as audio as this is essentially what it is, not an mp3. Thus, your CD player reads your newly burnt disc as it would any other disc :)

its very complicated this process, i have tried many times and never got it quite spot on, for some reason ive always had problems with the very first track mark skipping or a very small pause. Very annoying!
