Does anybody know if there`s a programme (preferably freeware!!) out there that would do this for me??????????? J. |

19 Dec 03 - 08:21 AM (#1076105) Subject: RE: Tech: splitting recordings for cd burning From: Fiolar Try "Dart CD-Recorder". It's the one I use and is excellent as you can set the time between tracks and program will split the recording. It's not free-ware but is very reasonable. Best of all, you can download it and use it for a trial period free. |

Both do a great job. For a site with lots of sound software, I've tried a lot of them from: |

19 Dec 03 - 10:22 AM (#1076150) Subject: RE: Tech: splitting recordings for cd burning From: Geoff the Duck I have been using a programme called LP Ripper which I found on a coverdisc of a computer magazine. It works on .wav format files and will try to split the track into individual items where it finds quiet sections. If ther are proper spaces between the tracks it does quite a good job. If there is constant noise, you have to select your own positioning, but that is quite straightforward. I found it a useful programme. It is NOT freeware - the company website is http://www.cfbsoftware.com/default.htm Quack! GtD. |

19 Dec 03 - 10:34 AM (#1076159) Subject: RE: Tech: splitting recordings for cd burning From: Steve Parkes I use GoldWave, which has a lot of stuff for cleaning up sounds, compressing/expanding, and all that techie stuff. It too enables you to split big files into separate tracks, either by detecting quiet bits or manually. It's not free either, but you have to start off with the demo version (which is) before you can pay for it. If v5 is like v4, it's fully functional, but with frequent "nag" messages. Steve |

It's what I use for everything, including that exact job. I had to do the splitting manually - no convenient silences. Anahata |

19 Dec 03 - 02:52 PM (#1076345) Subject: RE: Tech: splitting recordings for cd burning From: Clinton Hammond What's the format of the recording? One of the best features of my Mini-disk recorder is that it'll auto track, but the track breaks are VERY easy to edit, move, remove, insert... whatever... :-) |

19 Dec 03 - 03:13 PM (#1076355) Subject: RE: Tech: splitting recordings for cd burning From: GUEST,john c Thanks a million for all your help! I´ve spent a great couple of hours trying out lots of stuff and got it done no problem. The concert was actually recorded on an md but I had to transfer it analoge to my computer and, in doing so, lost all the breaks. J. |

19 Dec 03 - 07:46 PM (#1076528) Subject: RE: Tech: splitting recordings for cd burning From: McGrath of Harlow I'd recommend Goldwave too. And I can't say the nagging with version 4.0 is much of a nuisance. Someday I'll get round to paying for it, not to stop the nagging, but because I'm grateful for it. I've used it on and off for yonks, and I'm still only beginning to find out the strange things you can do with it. |

19 Dec 03 - 09:09 PM (#1076570) Subject: RE: Tech: splitting recordings for cd burning From: Bernard Nero 6 burning software is very cheap, and is much better than Nero 5.5 which often comes bundled with a writer. It includes hiss and click removal software... The big advantage is that it isn't drive-specific like the bundled version - it will work with any burner, including DVD. |

20 Dec 03 - 05:35 AM (#1076718) Subject: RE: Tech: splitting recordings for cd burning From: treewind If I had the tracks already as I wanted them on minidisk, I'd have copied them to the PC one .WAV file at a time. Then the cd burning process would make one track of each file in the usual way. Anahata |

20 Dec 03 - 06:19 AM (#1076729) Subject: RE: Tech: splitting recordings for cd burning From: McGrath of Harlow Wavesplitter, when I've used it, has a tendency to split tracks that don't need splitting - it seems to pick any momentary silence as a signal the song is over, even pauses between verses. This may have been solved in a more recent version - but I've found it quicker and more reliable to do as treewind suggested, and deal with individual tracks. Or sometimes to record a whole side of a tape cassette on to Goldwave, and then pull them out one by one "manually". |
