Need Help in adding tracks. I have a 1 1/2 hour recording and would like to break in into tracks on the cd.

Are you going to reduce the length a little? - as 90mins is pushing audio cd's.

What I would do is split the track into different files. THen use CD Architect to burn the CD - as SForge only supports track-at-once burning, and you'd want disc-at-once burning.

If you don't have CDArchitect, Nero or other would would fine,

Yes! I will edit it to around 70 minutes. I don't understand puting regions in . So you are saying that i need to save part of it as a file and then put both files on a cd.

With CD Architect no splitting is necessary (well, other than to get rid of at least 10 minutes' worth that won't fit on the disc). Simply drop track markers where desired.

If you don't have CD Architect and are burning with some other program you may have to do some splitting. In Sound Forge you can place markers with the M key where you want new tracks to start. Make sure you also have a marker at the very beginning and very end. Some burning programs will understand Sound Forge's markers and make tracks from them. Try saving the file with 'save metadata' enabled. I think Nero is one of the programs that handles this. It may offer to let you use the markers in the file as tracks.

If your burning program doesn't handle markers then go back to Sound Forge and choose Special / Markers / Markers to regions. This will convert the orange markers into regions. Then use Tools / Export regions to save each track as a separate .wav file. Any burning program will use the separate files as individual tracks.

If you have Sound Forge Studio then you probably don't have regions and export regions available so you'll have to do it manually. Double-click between the 1st & 2nd markers to select the first song and everything between the first and second marker will be selected. Press Ctrl-C to copy it and Ctrl-E to paste it into a new window. Save this song as a new file and close the window to go back to the whole recording. Repeat the double-click between the 2nd & 3rd to select the 2nd song, copy & paste, etc.

Upgrading to SF-9 which includes CD Arc. may be more cost effective.

Do you have Sound Forge 9 or Sound Forge Audio Studio. ?

If the latter, you add track with 'Regions'. Push F1 for help and type in Regions - it's pretty straight-forward. Then you can do a multi-track Disc-At-Once burn.

If you have the full Sound Forge, you then are entitled to CD Architect.

Lets start again.

You have Sound Forge Audio Studio.

You should be able to burn burn Disc At Once. My lady-friend does it all the time.

" Integrated CD Burning: CD burning is fully integrated into Sound Forge Audio Studio software so you can easily create professional-sounding CDs. Burn one track at a time or choose disc-at-once (DAO) to burn a disc with full control over the pauses between tracks. Encoding and Sharing"

You define tracks with Regions.

To figure out how to define the Regions that give you your track numbers, hit the F1 key for Help, then type in Regions. It will tell you how.

While you are in Help, look up ' Disc-At-Once' or 'Burning'.

Exactly which step are you having the trouble with that makes you think that you are unable to define tracks and burn DAO ?

Shouldn't be any errors. Maybe you havea cheap-and-nasty burner, cheap-and-nasty media, an incompatibility between burner and media, are burning at a silly speed (ie more than 16x), don't have Buffer Underun Protection option switched on in the Burn dialogue, or a hardware/software problem with your PC !

Sorry if that doesn't really help, but now we've sorted out the simple "how to do it in the first place' problem, we need to find what's wrong.

THE COMPUTER WE HAVE SURPOSE TO BE THE BEST ON THE MARKER. iT WAS 64 BIT AND WE HAD IT FORMATTED AND 32 BIT PUT ON IT. DURING BURNING IT WILL POP UP SLIGHT OR MEDIUM ERROR.

It may well be the 'best in the market' , but there is something wrong with it, or with the Vista 32 install.

Have you logged you error in the proper place - they may know something we don't - http://tinyurl.com/3xxq4 .

Have you eliminated the specific aspects that I suggested ? There is no endemic problem with SF that causes your problem.

Also please clarify what you mean by "pop up slight or medium error'. Is this an error message ? To solve this you need to be concise with the symptoms.
