extracting multiple songs from multiple tracks

I record the music portions of my church services on an eight track Korg D888 recorder. I usually need to "extract" two or more songs from these tracks. What I have been doing is making duplicate copies of the original 8 tracks and putting them into individual folders. That's OK but it certainly soaks up some disk space.

Is there a way to open up one set of the tracks and create 2 or 3 Vegas projects from them? I alway send a copy of 1 or more tracks per song to Sound Forge before rendering the project.

In other words, I want to "cut out" the portions of the whole and make 2 or 3 sets of wave files that just contain their own song.

Please tell me how to do that.

Thank you,
David

'Split' the track(s) into the sections you want, Drag ( or copy) to new track(s), then render those tracks to a new WAV.

There are other ways to do it, such as deleting the sections you don't want (and Save As a new VEG filename to not upset the original complete set, before rendering).

Rending those segments with create a new WAV file of just those remaining segments. VASST Trackaliser (freebie) script/tool may help in automating the rendering.

Thanks, Geoff. I will try to do what I think you are telling me. Is it possible to render 8 tracks that have been split to the correct lengths into 8 new and shorter wave tracks?

I will check out Trackaliser too.

One of the simplest solutions I have found in Vegas Pro is to create subclips and proceed from there.
Try it.

Yep, several ways - get rid of the unwanted (split off) parts off the timeline, or select a 'loop' region and tick the 'render loop region only' box. Probably a few other ways too !
