I know it´s a lame question, but anyway. I use Peak 4 for recording my mixes and I dont know how to make individual tracks without having any pause between them :?:

Mix CD? I do 'em with CD Architect but on a Mac I'm not sure....
write a cue file!
cue file?? not really sure what do you mean by that.
cue files are the only way ive done it for years
and save that as say "Chris Miles - some mix blah blah.cue"Code:FILE "Chris Miles - some mix blah blah.mp3" MP3
TRACK 01 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
INDEX 01 03:00:00
TRACK 03 AUDIO
INDEX 01 06:00:00
TRACK 04 AUDIO
INDEX 01 09:00:00
TRACK 05 AUDIO
INDEX 01 12:00:00
then with nero find the option "burn image" and then select the
cue file and it will burn it with the gaps at the track index's above
without spaces and without you needing to go through the painfull
process of splitting a audio file into lots of small ones.
for audio purposes the TRACK number is the only one that will
increment. the INDEX number will always be 1.
and the time format is in mins:secs:milisecs
If you want to use a .mp3 file it has to say MP3 after the
filename in quotes. if you want to use a .wav you need to
have WAVE after the filename
:cool:
OK cue file, but where do i make/write a cue file :oops:
notepad ;)
tnx!!!!
Ahhhhhh thats gonna be handy, cheers.... :clap:
I wanted to know this for ages! Cheers
here is some pics how to do it...
first write the cue file information in nogtepad.
http://www.chrismiles.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/cue/cue1.gif
then save the notepad file as mymix.cue and put quotes round the
filename to force the file extension as cue otherwise it will save it as
mymix.cue.txt
http://www.chrismiles.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/cue/cue2.gif
then you will have the cue file sitting with your audio file.
http://www.chrismiles.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/cue/cue3.gif
open nero and do the following (other versions of nero have it in
a different menu)
http://www.chrismiles.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/cue/cue4.gif
then select the cuefile to open
http://www.chrismiles.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/cue/cue5.gif
and thats you :cool:
Thanks so much :love:
nice one ;)
Well, if you're using Nero, there's a graphical editor inside it that allows you to add track markers to one long file. Not that the cue file method won't work just as well but it is an alternative for people who don't want to do it that way.
If you have soundforge you can put the markers in there and nero will recognise them. Then split the file at the markers into x number of tracks and remember to make the pause 0 seconds.
Could probably explain that better but Robert Natus at Fusion last night fried my brain somewhat...
Hey guys,
I tried the above cue file routine, and done everything as mentioned and when I go to Nero and burn image and open my cute file, this error comes up:
An error occured while loading the cue sheet file 'C:\Documents and Settings\AceS\My Documents\Mixas.cue'. (Line 3).
What have I done wrong? What does this mean?
Look at your time format.Quote:

Keep the last digits below :66.
Cheers.
post your cue file on here and il see what you have...Quote:

files. why goto the bother?
I only did a little 10 min mix to try the cue file thiny and this is what I got:
FILE "Mixas.mp3" MP3
TRACK 01 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00.00.00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
INDEX 02 02.23.00
TRACK 03 AUDIO
INDEX 03 04.26.00
TRACK 04 AUDIO
INDEX 04 07.10.00
TRACK 05 AUDIO
INDEX 05 09.13.00
I also did it this way, as I thought the time formats were wrong:
FILE "Mixas1.mp3" MP3
TRACK 01 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00.00.00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
INDEX 02 00.02.23
TRACK 03 AUDIO
INDEX 03 00.04.26
TRACK 04 AUDIO
INDEX 04 00.07.10
TRACK 05 AUDIO
INDEX 05 00.09.13
Both giving me the same error as mentioned.
ah theres your problem...
TRACK is the only number that increments. INDEX always stays 1
;)
Exactly!

I changed the index format to 1 and yet I still get the same error?
post the full cue file again
Using this time format:
FILE "Mixas.mp3" MP3
TRACK 01 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00.00.00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
INDEX 01 02.23.00
TRACK 03 AUDIO
INDEX 01 04.26.00
TRACK 04 AUDIO
INDEX 01 07.10.00
TRACK 05 AUDIO
INDEX 01 09.13.00
& this time format also:
FILE "Mixas1.mp3" MP3
TRACK 01 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00.00.00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00.02.23
TRACK 03 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00.04.26
TRACK 04 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00.07.10
TRACK 05 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00.09.13
???
is the mp3 file in the same directory as the cue file?
IQ: Ye it is.
No ideas anyone?
cool. some writing software is different when it comes to cue file standards
try this
FILE "Mixas.mp3" MP3
TRACK 01 AUDIO
INDEX 00 00.00.00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
INDEX 00 02.23.00
TRACK 03 AUDIO
INDEX 00 04.26.00
TRACK 04 AUDIO
INDEX 00 07.10.00
TRACK 05 AUDIO
INDEX 00 09.13.00
if not try updating nero
I don't think it will understand if you write
6.00.00 in stead of 6:00:00.
:?:
