I made a long .wav file containing different mixed songs.
If I transfer the file on an audio CD I get only one track.
Is it possible to divide the file in multiple tracks
mantaining the mixes ???

Thank you for your help,
Andrea

Hi Andrea,

I think you have two options:

First, you can use CD burning software (like CD Architect) that allows
you to create and place the PQ subcodes that mark the beginnings/ends
of songs.

Otherwise, the next best solution might be to chop the .wav into
several waves, each representing one track. Then, burn the disc using
the Disc-At-Once method. Using Disc-At-Once elimates the otherwise
required 2 second interlude between tracks and should let them be
written without any pause between tracks. This should be able to be
done with something simple like Adaptec's Easy CD creator (if this is
what you are using, look up Disc-At-Once in the Help for more
information). Whether this solution will work is probably dependent
on your burning software, I can't say I've tried it myself. Though I
think I shall do it tonight out of curiousity. I'll let you know what
the results are.

I tested the second solution last night. I chopped a single song into
four parts in SF and then wrote them to a disc with Adaptec's Easy CD
Creator using Disc-At-Once mode and it worked perfectly.

I have SF4.5 and just discovered how to do this. Drop markers at the
start of the file, at the break between each song, and at the very
end. Then select the markers to regions option and the ranges between
markers will become regions. Now when you launch CD Architect, and go
to add the file to the audio pool, check the box marked USE REGIONS.
Each region will be added to the playlist independently. You can then
drag the track markers to adjust timings, etc.
