Hi,
I’ve recorded a DJ set but I’d like to be able to add track (next tune) positions to allow me to skip to the next tune once I’ve exported this and I’m playing it in the car etc.
I’ve had a quick look through the manual and help but I’m not sure how i’d do this or even if its able to let me do this.
cheers Pete.
If you are making an audio CD, you need to split the track into separate songs (see: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/splitting_a_recording_into_separate_tracks.html) and then use your CD burning software to compile the songs into the correct order.
If you just want MP3s, then split the track into songs (as above), and if your player supports “play lists”, then you can create a playlist (See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playlist and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3U).
Some players support track labels within a single MP3 file, but that’s not very standardized, and is not supported by Audacity.
but doesnt this mean theres gaps between the tracks ?
osjm,
You replied to a 6-year old thread.
Not necessarily. But sometimes gapless playback is tricky with MP3s because MP3 adds a few milliseconds of silence at the beginning and end. A different format may work better.
…I use a crossfade option with my player application so there’s actually an overlap.
With CDs you you can burn one big file and with a cue sheet you can put the track markers wherever you want. I’ve burned several “live” and crossfaded CDs that way.
Thanks, that’s really helpful info
